hypnotix crash on start linuxmint 21.1

[domenico999]

in linux mint 21.1

(hypnotix.py:6125): Gdk-ERROR **: 21:19:08.438: The program 'hypnotix.py' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation)'.
(Details: serial 1539 error_code 1 request_code 0 (core protocol) minor_code 0)
(Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
To debug your program, run it with the GDK_SYNCHRONIZE environment
variable to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

Can you try

export GDK_SYNCHRONIZE=1 && hypnotix

[pmisner]

Here's what I got

~$ export GDK_SYNCHRONIZE=1 && hypnotix

~$ Free-TV: 846 channels, 42 groups, 0 series, 157 movies

I also have same problem on my desktop Linux Mint 21.1 install. On my laptop Hypnotix works OK. Here is what I got when I also tried export GDK_SYNCHRONIZE=1 && hypnotix

Can this be fixed please?
Thanks
Ps: can this be a graphics card glitch? as I have both my onboard Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v3/4th Gen Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller and my Nvidia GT218 [GeForce 210] showing in system info but no Nvidia driver needed as per Linux Mint 21.1. I do not know which Graphics Chip is being used.

I can't open the application anymore either, it crashes directly.

The problem is related to the use of Xtream Codes.

I have not been able to fix the problem once it occurred, not even by purging and reinstalling Hypnotix or clearing its cache. My provider's connection information is stored somewhere in the system that I can't find; neither by file name nor by content. If this information could be deleted, the error would possibly cease.

Reinstalling Mint and using M3U URL from the same provider everything works fine.

[Wibol]

In my case this problem occurs when entering a provider using Xtream Codes, and it seems to be caused by the lack of ":::::::::" at the end of the added data. With URL there is no problem at all.

The provider data is stored in:
gsettings get org.x.hypnotix providers

For Hypnotix to start again without errors, it is necessary to reset this key to its default value:
gsettings reset org.x.hypnotix providers

Then you can add providers again this time using URL instead of Xtream Codes.

Thank you Wibol, that's very helpful. At lest i can now start Hypnotics.
