Summary of the problem

Fresh install fails, claims it needs pip installed:

   import mps_youtube.main
  File "/usr/lib/python3.14/site-packages/mps_youtube/__init__.py", line 1, in <module>
    from pip._vendor import pkg_resources
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pip'

Thanks to pomon in Support for the fix:

Change in ~/.config/mps-youtube/config.json "MPRIS": true, to false

Seems to me yewtube now defaults to enabled MPRIS for system which are not windows:

https://github.com/mps-youtube/yewtube/blob/35989588eb1270d55bbced991ea2edf3a11064da/mps_youtube/config.py#L346

We should add the required rundeps for MPRIS, or patch this config

Looks like this is the same issue as upstream:

mps-youtube/yewtube#1335

Python 3.14 changed the default multiprocessing start method on Linux to forkserver, which breaks the unguarded MPRIS process spawn in mps_youtube/init.py.

Proposed fix that keeps MPRIS working:

In mps_youtube/init.py, before creating the Process:

multiprocessing.set_start_method('fork', force=True)
