Compiling and running against QT 5.13.2 works flawlessly.

From our Linux build instructions:

Plex Media Player officially requires Qt 5.9.5. Our users have indicated that Qt 5.10 and Qt 5.11 also builds correctly. However, Qt 5.11.0 and 5.11.1 versions are incompatible and should be avoided. Qt 5.12 may work for you. Please consider building PMP within a dedicated VM or Docker container if your system has a Qt version installed newer than 5.9.5. Downgrading a system Qt will cause issues in other applications depending on a newer Qt version.

With this in mind I'm closing this issue due to an unsupported Qt version.

I definitely understand how this can be frustrating. Although we are considering updating our dependencies any changes will be made separately of this issue.
