[arch-general] google-chrome/chromium and youtube "app"?
Hi all
Every so often, when a notification pops up from youtube and I click on it in the plasma's notification area, a separate youtube player window opens.
This separate window looks like a chrome app.
However, I cannot find this app in my list of chrome apps.
No youtube extension or youtube app or similarly named stuff to be found.
I find it difficult to get information about in search because of the generic keywords.
Anybody know any thing of this and how to disable it?
Many thanks
Andy "Aethalides" Pieters
Hi Andy,
not a solution, but a hint to gather further infos:
- use `xprop` to find infos about the window in question. Among other things, this gives you a PID - with `cat /proc/$PID/cmdline` you can see how it was spawned (other files in /proc/$PID/ might give other interesting infos).
HTH, René

I figured it out.
I Still don't know why it didn't show in any of the lists of apps/extensions...
but... there was a hidden menubar in the actual player that had a link to uninstall youtube app.

Must be a KDE-specific app. If you have the name of the app, you could either check it's man page to find more info about it, or look it up on the packages/AUR (supposing it belongs to a package, and not just a plugin)
