This is just gutting to hear about. I’m so incredibly disappointed. I genuinely, and naively as it turns out, thought the EU “leadership” was better than this. :(

I remember running into this as well. It’s because Plex installs itself with its own user. So post-install, you need to add the Plex account to your user Group and restart the service.

sudo usermod -a -G <yourUserName> plex
sudo service plexmediaserver restart

Two commands and bam! You’re in business.

To the best of my knowledge, this isn’t something you can do at the system level. Individual apps can specify where they output, but not the system. You can control the volume of individual, active applications (i don’t know if it’s persistent). I imagine it would be possible to add that capability, but it would be via a new app or extension.

This is FIFA we’re talking about. This is an organization that has been called “cartoonishly evil”. If all they did was ignore a human rights report, it would be a major step up for them.
