Thank you so much, really appreciate all your hard work!

Amazing work devs! Works flawlessly on macos 14.7.4 sonoma

Thank you very much. Kind request: the nightly snapshots are a lifesaver in such cases. OTOH, they're so well hidden, they are next to impossible to find. Please C&P a link where they can be found, in case of urgent fixes that need urgent testing.

[nafarinha]

I'd go even further and suggest nightly snapshots to be available on homebrew and other relevant package managers, if that is feasible.

Thank you for another fast update. You guys doing great work. I am testing now v0.23.2 appimage, imported subscriptions, history etc checked settings and watched some videos., did some search for new videos and channels and also search in history and all seems to work fine. My thumbs up, thank you again.

[Spliterton]

Thank you for all your hard work. Working perfect again..

Thank you for your work! Freetube is probably the app I use the most in terms of time spent, maybe even more than the browser! So your work is really appreciated.

I suppose one extra day for Flathub availabiltiy, right? I will be using the .deb in the meantime.

Yes Flathub does take a little longer. Nothing we can do about this on our end.

[MaxiMii05]

Your GitHub Actions run failed, apparently your secrets.UPLOAD_ID didn't have the correct value.
Could you take another look at that?

Edit: It could be that I'm confusing things and the api you're pointing to just doesn't reply with the new version yet and the Actions run will retry at some point?

[efb4f5ff-1298-471a-8973-3d47447115dc]

Nope its not related to the delay. Its on Flathubs end but its published now :)

Just wanted to say (and help search algorithms) that this FIXED the ISSUE where youtube NO MATTER WHAT EXTENSIONS AND ALSO BROKEN IN IGCOGNITO MODE that youtube WILL NOT LOAD VIDEOS PAST 19 or 20 seconds! Youtube is so anti human they are on my list of "lets never use the official App/Website and use custom solutions to these problems they keep making" because they have really ruined the website with changes and changes and changes. Killing Blocktube is a terrible move and now they broke the whole site.

Anyways this solves all these issues! I can play what I want when I want and no ads!

I'm still getting "[BAD_HTTP_STATUS: 403] Potential causes: IP block or streaming URL deciphering failed" sometimes on v 0.23.2 beta.

I really love FreeTube! It’s an amazing tool, and I truly appreciate all the work that has gone into it. 🙌
I have a suggestion: would it be possible to add a plugin system, similar to Chrome extensions? Many users, including myself, would love to have features like bilingual subtitles and playback speed control built-in. If a full integration isn’t feasible, maybe a plugin system could allow users to add their own extensions?

[Volianwt]

there is one on chrome extension called language reactor, with this, FreeTube could beat every single video platform on the earth

[Woodhousemelena]

Worked great until today. Now I get this error when opening any video... I thing the issue is back with a slightly different manifestation.
