@misjah This seem to be an upstream issue. The AppImage also does not load Tenor gifs. See this screenshot: https://ibb.co/21WfRyLr

The error logs are not helpful either as it does not tell anything when the Tenor button is pressed.

I will contact Viber upstream regarding the issue.

@bokic the gnome-shell-extension-appindicator package is already an optional dependency. We let the users enable/disable their extensions. Some users may have specifically disabled their extensions and so if AUR/viber enables it, it will be usurpation of what the user have already configured.

Also, not everyone is using GNOME. Usually, packages create build scripts that are generic, minimum viable installation that will work for all desktop environments.

Lastly and most importantly, the upstream does not do this. So package maintainers like us don't do it as well. As much as possible we strictly follow what the upstream does.

tenor gif stopped working with 27.3.0.2-5 or maybe even the previous one. Could be on my side

Install script should add gnome-extensions enable appindicatorsupport@rgcjonas.gmail.com command after install so viber tray icon is shown. Also an corresponding package should be added to package dependency.

@latgarf Can you check if your viber is updated to latest AUR version 27.3.0.2-5? This build does not depend to libjpeg or libjpeg6 anymore. You need to update the viber AUR first before doing a system upgrade so that your new viber will not depend on libjpeg anymore.

@Gone2wild Yes, but not for Linux.

@Gone2wild The deb/rpm/AppImage are still in 27.3.0.2.

There's already 27.5.0.1
