Complete failure here. Plexamp eventually finds (local and healthy) server. Authenticate, must restart Plexamp. Now shows some recently played stuff from my server, nice. Click any, screen goes dark chocolate. No visuals, no audio. No window resize, no move, nothing. Complete no-joy. Must kill app…

I’m trying to help another user that’s having issues on Debian Stretch. It didn’t work for him, but try running the AppImage with the --disable-gpu flag.

Nice try (with my thanks), but doesn’t make a difference. Still solid chocolate and seemingly dead.

try run the appimage from a terminal console and see if any errors. I couldn’t get it to run on debian/gnome, but when I ran it via terminal I got some errors I could look up. I had to run it with --no-sandbox

Eh, go figure. Thought it was worth a try since it seems to crap out as far as the UI goes. Worth posting any errors you get from running via terminal as @TeknoJunky as suggested.

My continued thanks for your suggestions. --no-sandbox made no difference, but there are errors shown on the console. Maybe someone can make sense of these? $ ./Plexamp-3.0.0.appimage --no-sandbox xdg-mime: application argument missing Try 'xdg-mime --help' for more information. Couldn't install sh…

Somebody else reported success with --disable-seccomp-filter-sandbox; no joy here. Given that the web player works I am not losing sleep over this but I am happy to help investigate for the benefit of all.

I have no idea whether I am running Wayland, what it is or how to find out - sorry.

What’s the output of echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE?

I found a solution for Fedora.
May be working for opensuse too: https://forums.plex.tv/t/plexamp-linux-crash-on-launch/444951/95
