Freeze on KDE neon 6

[KaKi87]

Describe the bug Syncplay's 2nd window freezes immediately after clicking Store configuration and run Syncplay.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Install Syncplay from DEB ;
2. Run client ;
3. Fill Default room field ;
4. Click Store configuration and run Syncplay ;
5. See 2nd window freezing with Not responding indicator.

Expected behavior 2nd window doesn't freeze and connects successfully.

Screenshots

Version and platform:

• OS: KDE neon 6
• Syncplay version and build type: 1.7.3-git-2404291815, DEB
• Media player and version: VLC 3.0.21-0build1~ubuntu2204

Additional context Changing Server address and Default room settings doesn't work, and the same values work on my other computer running Pop OS.

I wonder, do you have the same issue when installing Syncplay straight from your distribution repositories?

Typically we rely on pyside2/Qt5 on Debian and its derivatives. Maybe KDE Neon does something unusual with Qt?

Yes, and that version is 1.6.9+repack1-4.

What do you mean ? Other Qt applications are working fine.

Thanks

I mean that it works fine on Debian, Ubuntu etc. KDE Neon, given the name, seems to be all about Qt so that's where I'd expect differences from its upstream distros that do not have the issue.

What versions of pySide do you have on your system? By default the deb package from repositories depends on pySide2.

Okay, well, is there any log file or parameter I could pass when launching the app to get logs that would locate what's freezing the app ?

Here's the output of dpkg -l | grep "pyside" :
