Did not see any other posts regarding this. Is just for me or Audiotube does not work? I can search songs, but cant play. The song title is loaded but the duration shows 0:00. Cannot see any logs or errors on the the app.

That stuff ain’t ready yet. Plays the audio, but doesn’t support video.

Hey, where did you install AudioTube from?  
Can you try whether the flatpak from flathub has the same issue for you?

To me this sounds like a possible packaging bug where you might be missing the gstreamer backend to actually decode and play the audio. But it’s not the only possible explanation for this.

Hi sorry for late reply, surprisingly the flatpak version works like a charm.
