Thanks a lot @picokan !

I apologise for the recent inconvenience and frequently updating freetube and freetube-bin, but the way it was using the system electron before was poor and I thought the change was worth it. You should note that with this update the package size went from ~200MB to ~100MB and that it will now share the electron package with other programs like element-desktop.

@picokan, nothing broke, thanks a lot !

I've added the modifications to use the system electron according to the tips I've been given. Please test and warn me if something broke.

BTW, according to the answer on https://github.com/FreeTubeApp/FreeTube/issues/865, what could be tried is modifying "package.json" so that the electron version matches the system one. Haven't tried it yet, but sounds like something doable, :)

Perhaps someone who knows can contribute get this package to use system electron, and as many system deps as possible, to prevent it downloading and building/using non system packaged sw... I have no clue how it can be done, but there's slack-electron and jitsi-desktop, which, as examples, use system electron. This would be just great. Thanks ! I made the question on https://github.com/FreeTubeApp/FreeTube/issues/865, but I doubt upstream would be interested on helping about this, :)

@rebal28 What extension in particular are you talking about? Right now, the only supported extension that I know of is Privacy Redirect. Support for the other Freetube redirect extension was probably dropped, as the developer was only supporting it because Freetube wasn't in Privacy Redirect until recently.

Are there any solution to the firefox/chromium redirect extension?

just adding MimeType=x-scheme-handler/freetube; to the desktop file did not help.

it still gives me an error Unable to create io-slave. klauncher said: Unknown protocol 'freetube'.

@satcom886 It's not nonsense. The developer of FreeTube made it this way, that's all there is to it. He could have it like you said, but I don't specifically know if that change would be easy or not.

@icewind That dependency is very temporary, only to have a hacky patch to make searches work better since the modules were disrupted by a recent Youtube update. It should not be needed very soon.

I'm sorry if what I'm saying here is nonsense, I know almost nothing about JS and Electron.

Is it really necessary to download electron with npm? Why not have electron as a dependency. It's already a package in Arch...
