I suspect that the package is simply outdated, because I believe in a certain
version of PlasmaTube (I forget which, at the moment) channel content wouldn't
display to due it being unimplemented.

In this case, don't file a bug as F37 is using 23.04 and we're no longer
tagging releases for that version. However, if you can recreate it in 23.08
(like on Flatpak) then do please file a bug!

Yeah that's kind of the crux of it, and a much bigger issue than PlasmaTube :D
There's even applications can only be reasonably distributed via Flatpak due to
their complex dependency chain (Bottles and Anki come to mind) which complicate
the situation even further. Don't feel pressured to have to build the package
from kdesrc-build as it's quite involved - especially with our Qt6 transition
making it more complicated - but testing from source is always appreciated.

Ideally, Flatpak and distribution packages should be par-on-par. One of the
least argued aspects of Flatpak is that it's fortunately quickly to distribute
bugfixes like this! :)
