Not running on desktop, running on Synology NAS Container Manager.
Portainer is a much better tool, and can be installed anywhere Docker runs, including Synology. Rather than messing with platform-specific tools, go with this cross-platform solution. Learn it once, use it everywhere. 
Here’s one of several guides on installing Portainer on Synology. Once you get it installed, install Olive Tin and Project One Click to make life much easier.

I'm not sure if it's me, but my Frndly channels in the favorites section will not show the current program, only the channel logos. The program information is in the guide, however.
Made no difference between the 3 settings. Hardware has always seemed to work the best for me over the years. If anything it's worse on Hybrid/Software.
YouTube channels no longer working.
Thanks for the reply
Appreciate the link, thanks
I tried Portainer for my initial install of this app, and even though I'd noted the password I'd set up, it wouldn't log me back in. Given that, I am in no hurry to try to set it up again.

Your kitten factory isn't completly dead yet, but reading the YT-DLP github, it looks like it's a constant cat and mouse game (pun intended). Youtube now requires a bound-PO token and we tried web_safari, web, iOS (in order) and all of those are now dead. There is one that still works -- android_vr that I didn't have in the list. I just added it and it works. I'll push out a small update later.
Pushed 4.8.0
- Fixed YouTube. Also, put in an auto-weekly updater inside the container to update YT-DLP (the program that controls YT integration).
- Fixed tvg-chnum issue @jator
Just an FYI about this and another option you can explore:

I assume you updated yt-dlp on your end as well, babson?

More than updated; I generally keep myself on the bleeding edge daily edition, at least in development.

Working again now.
Distro is missing channels on scrapes.
Since Midnight this morning, only getting 18 channels scraped, instead of 193.

i think it might be legit.. look at their website- only 9 channels listed. maybe they're falling apart. didn't we lose a bunch of channels a few months ago from them too?

I lost most Pluto channels
Update: Docker was no longer running.......
Surprising that you didn’t lose ALL of them, then!
