This is my console log. I saw that the po-tokens got merged so I tried it out but appears to be having trouble loading videos.

I mainly tried music videos

Can you please provide a bit more information about your setup, as the issue is that it is hitting a timeout so it sounds like you must be using a slow setup? E.g. Which Mac model are you using? If it is an ARM one are you using the x64 build instead of the ARM one, if yes does the issue go away if you use the ARM build?

Which Mac model are you using?

m1 air 8gb

If it is an ARM one are you using the x64 build instead of the ARM one, if yes does the issue go away if you use the ARM build?

I use x64. After switching to the arm builds appears to have been solved. Sorry for the trouble and much thanks.

For the apple gatekeeper

xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /Applications/FreeTube.app

Reopening to track the problem, as we still need to increase the timeout, but it is good to know that is really just caused by slow setups (emulating another architecture is always going to be slower than running an app with the native architecture).

As i explain in the Matrix Chat, i also have this error. (

Error: Error invoking remote method 'generate-po-tokens': Error: VM operation timed out SyntaxError: Unexpected token 'A', "API disabled" is not valid JSON

) But the error only occurs when the program is running in the background.

My Setup:
