Describe the bug

Hello everyone,

Since updating to 1.1.2 I find myself unable to launch the app using KDE's menu shortcut - the icon appears on the taskbar for a few seconds, and then disappears, without the app launching properly. Using "flatpak run com.stremio.Stremio" I am able to launch the app, but pressing the "X" button in the top right corner of the window closes it completely, and I have to run the same command to launch the app again. I tried downgrading to V4 using instructions provided here - https://blog.stremio.com/stremio-tech-update-81-stremio-v5-released-for-linux/ - but keep getting error 404. Has the previous build been deleted? I will be grateful for any help. Thank you!

Hi, do you have any other Stremio apps installed on your system?

[MaciekMaciek87]

Hi Tym,

No, only Stremio is installed via Flatpak through KDE Discover - the "flatpak list" command only lists one entry for Stremio, that being com.stremio.Stremio. It does say that the version is 1.0.3. However, when running "flatpak update" it says "nothing to update". In the "About Stremio" section of the app's hamburger menu the app states that the version is 1.1.2.

Adding new logs I was able to get from running flatpak run com.stremio.Stremio:
