While trying to play any channel, what I got was the activity/loading spinner on a black screen.
Troubleshooting
I started Hypnotix from the terminal and I found a typo in an MPV option. I'm not sure how that got there. It should be --sub-codepage. I checked Celluloid's Preferences -> Miscellaneous and it has hwdec=yes --sub-codepage=iso-8859-2, so that's a correct config and obviously not the one used in Hypnotix.

I also looked for a user config and the default one, but it looks like that comes from somewhere else. Apparently I have no Hypnotix user config either.
nicu@nas:~$ ls -l ~/.config/mpv/
total 0
nicu@nas:~$ ls -l ~/.mpv
ls: cannot access '/home/nicu/.mpv': No such file or directory
nicu@nas:~$ more /etc/mpv/mpv.conf
hwdec=vaapi
nicu@nas:~$ ls -lR ~ | grep -i hypnotix
nicu@nas:~$
Then I tried adding the codepage to the system-wide MPV configuration and I restarted Hypnotix, but it broke the same way.
nicu@nas:~$ more /etc/mpv/mpv.conf
hwdec=vaapi --sub-codepage=iso-8859-2
Then I copied the default config to my account and Hypnotix failed the same.
nicu@nas:~$ cp /etc/mpv/mpv.conf .config/mpv/
I then tried searching for the config typo in all the files under /etc, /usr and /var - no results.
Finally, I ended up looking in the Hypnotix options and I found this:
hwdec=auto-safe --sub-codepade=iso-8859-2
I fixed the typo and it complained the same, although the option was now correct.

Does Hypnotix crash because of the FileNotFoundError or AttributeError?

Does Hypnotix crash because of the
FileNotFoundError
orAttributeError
?
