RangeError upon opening fcast receiver on Linux #48
Description
What happened?
Using a fresh install of fcast, I experience a combination of errors displayed in pop ups gnome. This happens upon opening the application.
##Error 1 (I believe that this error is the first to pop up - Only one pop up window):
###Title of window:
Error applying update
###Message:
Please try again later or visit https://fcast.org to update.
##Error 2 (pops up in 4 windows in a row, the last one after some delay):
###Title of window:
Application Error
###Message:
RangeError [ERR_OUT_OF_RANGE]: The value of 'offset' is out of range.
It must be >=0 and <= 511. Received 511.
##My system:
Ubuntu 25.04
Lenovo ThinkPad T460p
8Gb of ram
Replication steps
1: download .dev installer.

3: open fcast
