the error when I start freetube(from the terminal):
LaunchProcess: failed to execvp:
xdg-settings

The error when the app crashes:
[46:0904/192329.806703:ERROR:gl_surface_presentation_helper.cc(260)] GetVSyncParametersIfAvailable() failed for 1 times!
[46:0904/192331.826508:ERROR:gl_surface_presentation_helper.cc(260)] GetVSyncParametersIfAvailable() failed for 2 times!

in journalctl:

Sep 04 19:23:33 <pc_name> systemd[1793]: app-flatpak-io.freetubeapp.FreeTube-6474.scope: Consumed 1.546s CPU time.

The app keeps crashing since I forbade it from running in the backgound(there was a kde popup for that asked me if i want freetube running in the background). Thats my best guess for now.

(Edit)
I can make the app last for ~5 seconds if i interact with it.

Nightly Build

• I have encountered this bug in the latest nightly build.

I have the same issue.

• App downloaded from Discover, the Kubuntu Software center (Flatpak, v 0.19) opens for a few seconds and then closes without warning.

According to #3638 (comment) denying it to run in the background is the cause of the issue.
Not sure why it causes problems or how exactly that flatpak/flatseal setting works but it clearly breaks something in FreeTube.

[chiefbief]

Yes! Thank you. This works :

• Install Flatseal from the Software Center
• When you launch this app it will display a list of all the Flatpak apps that you have installed.
• Select FreeTube in the right hand pane
• Scroll almost to the bottom where you will find the setting that will allow the app to run in the background.
• Restart FreeTube

Thank you @absidue
