yurikoles: can you pinpoint the last version that worked? that way I can take a look at the differences. I have made no changes though, so it's most likely an upstream change. Enabling dark mode in the menu does work, right?

msrd0: the removal of the npm module mpris-service from the offical package made my mpris patches incompatible with deezer version greater than 5. The current behaviour is just the default, unpatched implementation which is very broken.

Since the last update, the MPRIS interface seems to be no longer working. When I run playerctl --list-all I see some chromium.instance which is likely deezer's electron instance, but running commands like playerctl next does nothing. When running deezer in firefox, those same commands work (but it has no offline mode sadly).

In a couple of recent releases, theme is white despite dark theme in KDE. Also, there is no lossless playback option.

Web version in Chrome on the same machine works correctly, i.e. it picks up dark theme and have lossless playback option.

@usuariopolivalen: The package goes up 200MB because it essentially installs a new, additional copy of electron to node_modules. That is not something I want to maintain.

The reality is that Deezer currently distributes the software with electron 12. Most of the time I'm able to quickly patch it to make it compatible with newer versions. But sometimes the breaking changes require big architectural modifications, and it's not that simple.

As long as there is a working electron version in the official repositories (supported / security updates by arch), using that is the way to go IMO. Ideally the newest version of course, but that's not always practical.

I prefer the package goes up 200 MB vs having other version of electron for "ever" in my system May be not in the near term because like " work around is good" but not for more than one month I think @SibrenVasse

@SibrenVasse - It appears to be working great with the change in electron packages. Thanks for the quick update.

@lifestronaut: thank you for reporting the issue. For now, I've dropped the dependency to electron13. Fixing the issue with electron14 (which required running npm install @electron/remote) caused the package to grow 200MB.

Electron v14 appears to be breaking deezer. All I see is an unresponsive white window. It works fine with electron v13
