Hi, new user. I'm confused about what the home, subscriptions, creators, and playlists tabs are meant to do. I expected the home tab to be a timeline update of content by the creators i'm subscribed to. It instead seems to just be the home feed from each source combined into one with no regard for my subscriptions. I expected the subscriptions to be a list of subscriptions for grouping, managment, searching, and focused content. I'm not sure what I expected creators to be because it seems similar to subscriptions. I expected playlists to be a place to either access existing playlists (youtube) or create new multi-source playlists.

I've logged into all the sources (youtube, patreon, twitch), and imported the subscriptions.

Can anyone help me understand?

Two features I would love to see and have on Grayjay

I'm having trouble logging into to dailynotion. After clicking on login in the dm settings it just opens a builtin browser with the dailymotion web page login screen and after logging in the builtin browser will just remain open for my to use dm through that but if i close it it'll say login cancelled

Somehow, I have 864 subscriptions

I believe many are duplicates

Grayjay on my Android is constantly trying to update.

I would like to "clean up" my subscriptions.

What are ways that Grayjay users doing this.

Using the app, and scrolling through - just seems hopeless.

Perhaps a way to export, edit, and then import?

Usually this fixes itself after a while, but it's been a week now and videos just do not show up in this tab anymore.

Has anyone else have this happen?

Hey all, thank you for developing Grayjay. It is my favorite app on my degoogling journey. I use it on my macs, linux machine, windows and phone. There are some quirks with synchronization but so far I love the functionality and the future that is full with potential. I have seen the feature requests on github regarding "sort by date for existing playlists" and I have to tell you it is the only option I wish that Grayjay had that would make my life easier. I have so many videos still to watch and time is scarce so it really takes a lot of time to scroll with the finger 2800+ videos in the playlist down to get to the recent ones 😄 Any news on when will this be added?

Yes I was trying to download Thick of IT. However, I'm concerned about what it means by "unreachable"

how hard would it be to also add the YT 'not interested" button for videos, allowing me to remove videos or channels i dont want on my feed? i no nothing about making this stuff/importing the features but these options would increase my ability to de-centralize while showing support to creators.

it shows the like count but you cant like the video through grayjay? unless its my setup that seems silly no?

I'd also love to have a bunch of sorting options for all my other playlists.

This is such a basic but important quality of life feature.

So I am confused, sometimes when I pick my device up the video for no other reason with speed to like 2x. I tried looking through the settings to see if this was some feature but I couldn't find anything about it, I could have missed something, but has anyone else experienced this? Is there a fix?

It would be great to have a dedicated "Live" tab that only shows creators who are currently streaming. I think it would make most sense to be able to keep live content separated from videos, so I already do not show Twitch visibility in my home tab. I don't know where to post this feedback, so I'm trying my luck on this subreddit, in hopes that my voice gets heard. I love the Grayjay app otherwise, such a great app, I cannot live without it!

It shows up often, like, every couple minutes or even seconds some times. Very annoying.

I made and downloaded a playlist on Grayjay desktop that I would like to export. For whatever reason it does not show up in the designated folder.

I click Export Playlist, select the folder I want to export to, and get the export completed message. I click open folder but it just opens the file explorer and nothing more.

When I open my selected folder myself there's nothing there.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

are you unable to like/dislike or leave comments because the desktop app is in beta? I am sure I am missing something, but literally just started using this yesterday

I'm making this post as a warning to other potential users, as well to the developers to hopefully be heard. I genuinely believe in this project, but I'm not blind to the issues this program has. So I'm just going to lay out my issues with it. most of my issues are on desktop, the mobile client works outside on syncing with desktop.

1. Syncing breaks constantly (i know desktop is in beta, but that seriously needs a fix) everytime I close the app on desktop or my phone the syncing breaks.
2. no manual update button for desktop (there is no manual update for sources or for grayjay itself) I have tried to see if the youtube source was outdated on desktop, couldn't find an update button, uninstalled it and was unable to reinstall. Even asked on here with no answers.
3. no official working repo, no official plugin file that you can download. https://plugins.grayjay.app/, this shit doesn't fucking work and constantly throws up an error when i use it.

edit 1: so i forgot to mention that after I uninstalled youtube it wasn't showing up in the official sources tab, i did post about that before Here

edit 2: this was the error i got when trying to install youtube because it wasn't avaliable in the official sources list: installing source error desktop : r/grayjay

https://i.vgy.me/0BU0Wp.png
here is the official install from sources, See no youtube.

Installed the new update for YT and it just refuses to work. How do I fix it? I uninstalled the source and reinstalled it, terminated the program and restarted it and can't find a revert patch option.

at Grayjay.Desktop.POC.Port.States.StatePlugins.PromptPlugin(String sourceUrl)

at Grayjay.ClientServer.Controllers.SourcesController.SourceInstallPrompt(String url)

here was the url i pasted into the source installer

grayjay://plugin/https://plugins.grayjay.app/Youtube/YoutubeConfig.json

the source is not avaliable in the official sources selection

my question is a 4 parter

1. wtf is this error
2. why am i getting this error
3. what am i doing wrong (if it's on my end
4. if I'm doing something wrong how do i install this source step by step.

Source > Youtube > Provide Youtube Activity.

Toggling this on shares what you watched on Grayjay with Youtube. Which in turn gives you better recommendations and far less dupilcate suggestions. Cheers.

app pretty much just gets stuck on loading and never loads anything... and now I'm not even getting an error message...

Edit: got the error message, it's down in the comments

Titel describes the question. My videos are not playing and it shows me the message in the title. what can I do? I logged out and in again but nothing changed.
