Do you have any youtube-music.desktop at ~/.local/share/applications or /usr/share/applications ?

If not, try creating one at ~/.local/share/applications/youtube-music.desktop

[Desktop Entry]
Categories=AudioVideo
Exec=youtube-music %u
Icon=youtube-music
Name=YouTube Music
StartupWMClass=com.github.th_ch.youtube_music
Type=Application
Version=1.4

(if it works, make sure to do the same with the icons under ~/.local/share/icons)

if the desktop entry already exists and it still doesn't work, then it's either an issue with Gnome 48 or the deb package I guess

because it's working on Gnome 47 (tested in a NixOS VM)

I have youtube-music.desktop at /usr/share/applications:

[Desktop Entry]
Name=YouTube Music
Exec="/opt/YouTube Music/youtube-music" %U
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Icon=youtube-music
StartupWMClass=com.github.th_ch.youtube_music
Comment=YouTube Music Desktop App - including custom plugins
Categories=AudioVideo;

And I have icons at /usr/share/icons:

./hicolor/32x32/apps/youtube-music.png
./hicolor/128x128/apps/youtube-music.png

I have tried to create an additional desktop file with the contents you suggested, didn't seem to change much.

I also booted up a VM with Gnome 46 and tried installing youtube-music there. I am reproducing the same issues:

Can confirm. Same goes with Flatpak and AppImage.
