Description

Plex Media Player fails to work when compiled or using Qt 5.11 libraries due to major changes in 5.11.

[17938:18165:0526/232935.585345:ERROR:gl_surface_qt.cpp(305)] eglCreatePbufferSurface failed and surfaceless context not available
[17938:18165:0526/232935.585356:ERROR:gl_surface_qt.cpp(312)] Requested OpenGL implementation is not supported. Implementation: 0

Fills up the terminal when run from a terminal either after clicking a user to login as (multi-user plex), or upon startup.

I'll use this to track qt5_use_module also.

Note the outcome may be to pull PMP from Solus if the authors only support a single (and old) version of every library that it uses, while refusing to even acknowledge use of any other version.

Tried the official AppImage, but it too fails to work with different errors:

Correction: AppImage does actually work. There's an issue with the Sign In button that you have to flip it to TV mode, use the code it provides and link it that way.

Okay, I just tested it with the newest 2.12.1 release and it's starting without any problems or tons of errors, but as soon as I click my user icon the program crashes.

It's indeed a bit.. shitty.

Actually being able to look at it for a few moments, I'm seeing something else.

I get this far:

Screenshot_20180616_221237.png (837×1 px, 788 KB)

4 configurations interest me:

  • Plasma with nVidia gfx
  • Plasma without nVidia gfx
  • Not Plasma with nVidia gfx
  • Not Plasma without nVidia gfx

Also try loading Plex via this,
QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb plexmediaplayer --windowed --desktop

Crashes once it connects to the Plex Media Server and starts to display media titles available. The screenshot you're showing above is wanting to find a PMS server, but none found, and is not where I am when PMP crashes. As mentioned in IRC, but adding here for documenting. :)

yacn added a comment.Jun 22 2018, 11:38 PM

Not a solution but as a workaround, I've installed Kodi along with the Plex for Kodi Add-On which works perfectly.

• sunnyflunk added a comment.Jun 22 2018, 11:53 PM

I will push Qt 5.11.1 and rebuild/update plex to see if it makes any difference

Ok, I set up a plex server, did a full stack update for Qt5, Updated PMP to latest...

I cannot make it crash on unstable (though I never could to begin with).

Hmmm.. Still getting crashes on my side. In my case, PMP starts, brings up the user selection for multiuser (Plex Pass feature). I've tested this on Nvidia and Intel GPU systems.

Here is the initial startup, which brings me to the user selection:

How does the web client fare? https://app.plex.tv

yacn added a comment.Aug 9 2018, 4:11 AM

The web app isn't ideal because most things won't direct play in a browser meaning the server has to transcode the file.

Many videos cannot be directly played in Plex/Web because the browser cannot handle them. You are not seeing the player options because your media server does not support transcoding. By default, Plex/Web will try to directly play your videos if possible, but it is forced to transcode in most cases.

Plex Forums

The best alternative I've found while waiting for Plex to get it together is to use Kodi with the Plex plugin which works for now, but I'd rather just use PMP.
