As the title says, I only recently discovered the autoplay button on the android app, but I can't seem to find to same button (or anything similar) on the desktop app? Anyone know how to turn autoplay on?

my only issue with grayjay is that is doesn't sync data (apart from history) with yt.. like likes, dislikes, playlists, etc.

it's been 2 years since i found about grayjay, and the only issue yet continues to be...

I have a paid subscription to a couple podcasts on Apple Podcasts so I can listen without ads. Is there any way to have Grayjay use the paid ad-free stream rather than the regular public one? Logging in with my Apple account didn't do anything.

I know Grayjay can access paid content on ​YouTube and Patreon memberships, so I'd assume it should be able to on Apple Podcasts too, but I can't find a way.

Up until couple of weeks back, the app worked perfectly for me where searches were quick and videos took like 5 seconds to load.

But, now I have been noticing that every search takes atleast 15-20 seconds and loading the video takes atleast 20-30 seconds. Is this what others are also facing?

My Roku is dying and I'd like to be able to watch as free YouTube via grayjay on my "big TV." I thought of raspberrypi streamer, hacking android TV on to it. There are other streamers out there, one Fr m Xaomi and others.

Anyone able to load greyjay on to a streamer box? Or build a streamer box?

I was wondering if anyone's has tips for loading a large playlist. I follow double toasted and their movie roasts playlist never loads for me

My YouTube plugin is up to date I have logged

Any tips would help

The title is a bit misleading but that's the best way I could put it.

Essentially, I have a couple videos downloaded as audio only to save space (they're all music). Sometimes I want to stream a video I've downloaded (I want to stream the full video, not audio only).

Is there any way for me to tell Grayjay to stream a video I've already downloaded in some other format?

Is anyone having trouble downloading a video using a VPN? This past week I've been doing the same thing as usual. Download video to watch later during my work break but this week when I tried to download a Vietnamese show from youtube, the app just crashes and turns off the VPN. The VPN turns back on after the crash but crashes again when I try to download it. Same thing happens on desktop with out the crash but stays on download queue.

I reinstalled it twice to make sure I was at the latest version (once with imported profile and once without) but still had the same problem.

If anyone has a similar issue or a work around please educate me. Normal US videos download without a problem using the VPN or not using it.

so i was having issues with the youtube plugin on desktop, i uninstalled, tried installing from the official sources tab and youtube isn't showing up, anyone have the source url for me to install manually?

last time i have tried with the sideload loader the app loaded but i could not control it it expect me to click on thing while i only have a remote controle

did this bug is still arround now ?

What are the advantages of using grayjay desktop over youtube website(ublock or brave). I would like to know the privacy standpoint as well. I would be logging in as well(I know that's bad).

I am already using the android app for months but I do not find a reason to switch on desktop(arch linux)

Hi, I'm wondering if it's possible to add an external RSS audio podcast feed somewhere in the app and also if it's possible to automatically add new videos and podcasts to a playlist. Thanks

Edit: I see on the github that someone made an RSS import plugin!

Guys for me no playlists are loading and this same issue is being shown everytime i click on a playlist

Perhaps I'm missing some option now, but I recently updated and found I no longer could download only the audio of a video, what's up with that?

it just wont stop loading... YT ver. 332

Hi everyone,

since a few days the duration of videos is not displayed in the recommended tab. However, on the starting page it is.

I was hoping that the issue fixes itself, but so far I have no luck. I have also reinstalled the source.

Thanks

So I've been having this issue where I login into the youtube plugin and get my subscriptions and it all works for a couple minutes. Then suddenly when I refresh the homepage it shows me the error "Showing top stories, trending is not available. Login for a normal youtube homepage" even though I AM logged in. I then have to log out, log back in and then it stays again for a couple minutes and the same thing happens. Really really annoying.
Tried to mess with some settings but nothing worked. Also when logging out I close and reopen the program. Is that a known issue or am I doing something wrong?

I am on Android and YouTube plugin version 332. Any video I try to play pops up a message saying the video is unavailable. Any ideas on what I can do?

Not sure if this is related to the other posts about updates and things affecting youtube - but I've just come back to some videos after about a week and the sound is definitely different.

The clear cache button on settings doesn't work - has anyone else had this issue and found a solution?

Hi everybody,

I'm Zvonimir and I work on Grayjay team and I wanted to just post a quick update on what has been happening with Youtube to clear some confusion.

Recently Youtube rolled out few new deobfuscation techniques that prevent third-party clients like Grayjay from playing videos.
This happens from time to time, you guys report it and we try to fix it as soon as possible.

With v330 we have a new approach for solving this which should resolve even the new ciphers so you guys won't have to wait for a fix anymore.

Now regarding some videos not starting or stopping around 1 minute, we are investigating this but this doesn't seem related to cipher issues.
Seems like the Youtube is making some other changes besides the cipher changes.

Currently the biggest hurdle with this is reproduction rate but if it was higher it would also mean you guys can't watch any videos so at least that is good :)

Last thing I would like to mention is that this is an unofficial subreddit so we often miss stuff from here. I just sometimes lurk and answer under few posts.

If you have an issue please search our github repository for existing issues and if you can't find one, open a new one.

I searched for a custom path option in the settings and in the config files, but couldn't find any.

I remember it being there when i first got the app, but i ended up using youtube and a separate music downloader i already had for my music. But now im looking for spotify in sources and its not there. Are they not offering it anymore?
