@dwango This doesn't seem to be a freetube specific error. It could be related to these problems:

Does not start and gives the following exit message: xdg-settings: default-url-scheme-handler not implemented for xfce

I also suggest to stick to the version that upstream suggests and supports even somehting newer looks basically working (and might fail somewhere else). When it fails to start after your last attempt make sure there's no hanging electron process pending. I had to kill the hanging ps.

Actually freetube is working just fine with system electron 17, so I see no reason to go with an even older electron version.

You need to use Electron 16, not 17. You can check the required version in the Freetube sources, for example for the current 0.16.0: https://github.com/FreeTubeApp/FreeTube/blob/v0.16.0-beta/package.json#L111

And even if it doesn't open, there might be other causes for that which should be investigated separately. I'd suggest to start by using the correct version of electron that Freetube has been tested with, and then investigate other problems.

@PutridPete where exactly should I change for electron17? I changed it in the PKGBUILD and the in freetube.sh but nothing changed, it still not opening. I've tried with other electron versions too, but have the same result.

What I did was edit the PKGBUILD and scripts so it pulls a dependency on electron17 package and then rebuilt it. Make sure freetube.sh contains exec electron17 /usr/lib/freetube/app.asar "$@" instead of just electron without the 17. Works fine for me thus far.

freetube 0.16.0-1 does not work for me in electron v18.0.1

@MattTriesLinux: It works fine with electron17.

https://github.com/FreeTubeApp/FreeTube/issues/2163#issuecomment-1087645677 electron 18 seems to be giving issues to FreeTube and making it impossible to open it, as per suggestion of the dev this package should switch to only using the supported electron version (16)
