When launching YouTube chat for a livestream in Firefox Nightly 133.0a.1 on Windows 10, the following error occurs:

Error launching chat
Idark_themel is not recognized as an internal or external
command,
operable program or batch file.
lis_popoutl is not recognized as an internal or external
command,
operable program or batch file.
Ifrom_gamingl is not recognized as an internal or external
command,
operable program or batch file.

Despite the error, chat does launch in Firefox without issue. I do think this error is different than the one mentioned in the FAQ.

Aside - is this project planned to be updated at all? Last update was nearly a year ago. If not, are there alternatives? I really love this program and would love to see development on it further.

Thanks, looks like the issue is the & symbol included in the command line argument to launch chat has to be escaped to ^& otherwise windows interprets that character as a command separator.

I've applied the change locally and it seems to address this problem.

I update when stuff breaks (usually important stuff like launching streams), nothing has stopped working in the past year that I am aware of so I've had no need to do any updates to this besides maybe features people have asked for and a nicer way to add youtube streams.

I use this app myself all the time (and is why I wrote it in the first place) so it'll always work for following/launching streams.
