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.

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.

@Ammako, is it mesa 1:24.3.1-1? I have no issues with it on wayland (wayfire).

Ammako commented on 2024-12-08 00:32 (UTC)

This breaks for me after mesa is updated to 24.3.1, it fails to run with some kind of viz_main_impl.cc "Exiting GPU process due to errors during initialization" error.

Downgrading back to 24.2.7 fixes this, I guess we would have to check if the problem is with electron or nodejs?

@CVI2 I'm not on Hyprland so I can't replicate it. Try to run freetube with an official package like this and if that still has issues, open an issue on their github.

CVI2 commented on 2024-10-29 14:55 (UTC)

I can confirm the fullscreen issue is still present. I'm also on Hyprland, but instead of crashing, it just shows a white screen with audio still playing.

@fallwatcher Seems like you're using too old a version of node to compile Freetube. I'll update the package build to specify it needs version 20 or higher.

fallwatcher commented on 2024-10-28 06:58 (UTC)

Trying to upgrade but getting the following errors:

error minimatch@10.0.1: The engine "node" is incompatible with this module. Expected version "20 || >=22". Got "18.20.4"

Sorry about that, I've got a real problem with forgetting to update the .sh file.
