Looks like the bug with driver+electron combo, causing renderer (website) to crash. On my side, the only thing I can do about this is to use different Electron version (or drivers, if any available) and hope for the best. Given I don't have RPi5, it is probably better for someone having this kind of bug to test anf switch Electron version by himself, plus I have no clue how many people the eventual downgrade will affect.

Downgrading Electron is rather easy with NPM, you probably should find official NPM docs for consumers online how to use it in general (npm-install section).

[LisaSocks97]

Thanks SpacingBat3, it seems like you have worked out what maybe causing this issue. I have a RPi5 and I'm happy to try a few things, but I am a noob. I understand we need to change the Electron version and see if it works, I would just goi back one version at a time until it works.

I don't know NPM, I didn't even know I had it.

I found a helpfile for checking versions and I ran npm -v to find the version number, but it seems npm is not installed. Maybe I did something wrong, so if anyone has some advice, please share.

Thanks,
Lisa x

I don't know NPM, I didn't even know I had it. (…)

@LisaSocks97 Ah, apologies for the unnecessary confusion on my side. I think I just forgot some dev stuff ain't common knowledge 😅️.

I just gave a scenario that anyone who encounters it might need to try the app from sources and use NPM to downgrade/upgrade Electron (that's probably the quickest way to bulk-try different Electron versions). On Arch ARM tho things are more optimistic, I've explained it fairly recently on some other thread that running WebCord on different version of Electron is as easy as installing it with pacman and running electron [app.asar] with [app.asar] being proper path. I think you might as well get Electron from GitHub and try it the same way as Arch users can.

I'm having the same issue on Raspberry Pi 5 running Raspberry Pi OS.

I tried installing with Pi-Apps, uninstalled and reinstalled with snap. Both installs have the same result of regular refreshes every minute or less at an even interval.

Thanks for taking a look. :)

Web context crashes, not my fault, it's bug with Electron/Chromium or at worst: GPU driver. Modern builds of WebCord should've auto-restart with software rendering to try running under conditions that won't be related to GPU driver. But if that also doesn't help, then ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

[owntheweb]

Thank you for the super fast response! I haven't used WebCord until super recently (awesome project). Is there a folder or some place I can go to start hacking at electron or should I install from source to play with it? No rush to respond and thanks again!

[SpacingBat3]

Switching Electron is probably as simple as getting Electron from GitHub, getting current app.asar from where WebCord has it placed when installed and place it relatively to electron binary to match the WebCord's structure (resources/ folder).

That's at least for Linux in general, Arch has it a bit easier as they provide electron as a package, hence you usually only need to tweak it during the build or in the script that runs it.
