This could the be same as #3998, could you check if the suggested solution works for you?

Arndorferd commented 10 months ago

No because flatpak in general works. However it doesnt integrate well with my plasma theme so I generally avoid flatpaks. If I would have a guess, I think its because Flatpak likes to use GTK and this appears like an issue with how this program interacts with Qt. My Qt version is 5.15.10.

Out of curiosity I tested on x11 and it still happens but with less consistency than on wayland.

The relevant part of the log is GetVSyncParametersIfAvailable() failed, which is probably linked to this upstream issue in Electron: https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/32760

The only workaround in that thread is to disable hardware acceleration, which for a video playing app like FreeTube, is definitely not something we want to do.

Is it a red herring? Thats just logs from starting the program in terminal. I thought you may know more. Im not sure how to get more detailed information at this point. Suspecting program interaction with qt or plasmashell is the issue.

Freetube uses electron, not GTK.

Which package are you using? Manjaro is known for issues like this.
