If you got the problem with "[BAD_HTTP_STATUS: 403] Potential causes: IP block or streaming URL deciphering failed." Here is the quick fixed build with the updated youtubei.js from the morning of 22.02.2025 https://github.com/FreeTubeApp/FreeTube/actions/runs/13468043295/artifacts/2633869091

The Issue is here. https://github.com/FreeTubeApp/FreeTube/pull/6867

I've been facing a slow starting time with 0.23.1 on wayland (2-3 sec). Anyone else?

taivlam commented on 2025-02-01 04:06 (UTC)

v0.23.1 has been released.

New mesa has some incompatibilities with some configurations, particularly older GPUs. You can try and run freetube with --disable-gpu to not use hardware acceleration, then mesa shouldn't be getting involved because electron will be using CPU rendering instead. If your hardware is ok enough then it should be able to run well enough without hardware acceleration.

I'd be interested in knowing what else the new mesa might be breaking. Freetube is all I use right now so I wouldn't notice problems anywhere else.

Freetube crashes with mesa version 24.3.1-1, -2 and -3. Downgrading to v. 24.3.0 solves the problem.Recompiling the program didn't solve the issue.

This are the errors I got when starting the program from terminal:

"Exiting GPU process due to errors during initialization" was a red herring. I messed with config and drivers, and obviously something that I did fixed the problem, because it works now. I get those errors but the app starts up and runs just fine despite the errors.

I have no idea what I even did that fixed it though, because in trying to narrow that down, I've reverted every single one of my changes, and it still works.

Ammako commented on 2024-12-08 03:51 (UTC)

That and 1:24.3.1-2, maybe 1:24.3.1-3 will help idk

Wayland too (weston), I use the electron config to actually run in wayland instead of Xwayland though. but I'm sure there are a lot of other differences between your config and mine so it would be hard to say what's causing the problems.
