😆 That must surely be a bug, indeed! I'm glad the interface hasn't activated yet for me so I can get a more polished interface when it rolls out. Hopefully...

As long as I can still use the J/K/L keys to play/pause and scrub, I see no issues here. People bitching just to bitch.

That said, I do not enjoy the new "everything is bigger" view on YouTube's home page that was clearly designed for mobile. But that can be fixed easily, so it's a non-issue.

What’s wrong with it?

[–] Matriks404@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Looks like UI from like 2005 lol.

[–] ZiemekZ@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

No it doesn't, not enough gradients

[–] brb@sh.itjust.works 9 points 3 days ago

It looks quite nice actually

Thanks, but it won't really affect me. I only use Freetube when I want to access Youtube

[–] CassiniWarden@infosec.pub 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I use Freetube, but it's currently not playing any videos for me.

[–] reseller_pledge609@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Always use the up-to-date version.

Whenever there's consistent playback issues there's usually an update on the horizon. Just have to be patient.

ETA: I'm watching videos on Freetube right now. It's working just fine.

[–] CassiniWarden@infosec.pub 2 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

I have 3 PCs running endeavouros, the other 2 updated freetube fine, but my main one has issues, even after uninstalling/reinstalling/updating to beta. I can open videos externally with mpv, but nothing will play on freetube itself.

Wish I could help you figure that out, but I'm a total linux noob. The EndeavourOS forums would be a good place to start though.
