Freetube on desktop Linux hasn’t worked for me for a long time - but that doesn’t seem to be the case for most people. Any tips regarding settings? I’d say it’s been at least 3 or 4 months since I could reliably use it.
Thank you! I actually tried setting the invidious options yesterday before making that post, thinking I might need to use that instead of localapi. But as you have predicted, no dice.
not sure about the other guy, but for me it just doesn’t load videos. disabled invidious proxy once google murdered it, but it still refuses to load anything. maybe it’s time to purge data and reinstall
Edit: Disregard my original reply, updated today and now it works again lol!
It launches for me (and I am in a plasma-wayland session FWIW), and it loads the thumbnails for all videos with no problem. When I click a video as if to play it, it appears to load up the main page for that video complete with play button, but nothing at all happens when I click the play button. Along the way are various api errors from youtube, but I think some of those came in even when things were working for me.

If you have it set to use the Invidious backend that might be the issue, since most Invidious instances don’t work at the moment.

Basically I can get this far for any video:
