Odd, I don't know why this started happening. Should be fixed now.

Hi! There was a mismatch between the desktop icon and the active opened icon. Adding StartupWMClass=FreeTube to the .desktop file solved this issue.

Could you add it?

Thank you, I've pushed a fix.

Building the pkg without the patch works but can still be speed up a bit using this one:

Hi,

The upstream commit 19bf388 seems to have broken the patch package-only-necessary.diff

AndyRTR commented on 2022-08-31 18:49 (UTC)

It should now be safe to switch to latest electron (v20) - I've done a local build and basic testing seems show no regressions.

@picokan Thank you for updating (and maintaining by the way). Version 17 release sounds good, I assume upstream wants to do some testing before releasing it, but it should indeed be released soon.

Regarding the version, so I understand that it is an upstream problem? They still have 0.13.1 written somewhere in the git files?

picokan commented on 2022-06-18 21:14 (UTC)

@G3ro Thank you, I didn't realise that wasn't working because I still had electron installed. Also I was thinking of using the version 17 of freetube that's going to be released soon to make this change.

The version displayed for a -git package doesn't matter since you know it always pulls the latest commit. Right now I use "git describe --long --tags" for versioning which, if you use it yourself on the latest commit, will print 0.13.1.etc.

G3ro commented on 2022-06-18 19:45 (UTC) (edited on 2022-06-18 19:47 (UTC) by G3ro)

@picokan There are more changes needed for electron16:

  • in freetube.sh: exec electron16
  • in package-only-necessary.diff: electronDist: '/usr/lib/electron16',

It would also be nice to have these changes for the stable "freetube" package too, and also a version change for this package (freetube-git) which is now v0.17.0 (commit ae654a15).

@malcolm Regarding video acceleration you could open a bug report upstream.

malcolm commented on 2022-06-18 01:00 (UTC)

hardware video acceleration seems to be broken in version 17. at least for me it doesn't work

I also think it is ideal to follow upstream and set electron16 as a dependency
