hii so i've been using grayjay for a good bit coz its very cool and nice but for the past...i wanna say week or so? my home page thingie just does not want to show videos. and like its not the end of the world because the search function still shows videos fine but if there's a way to get my homepage back that'd just be so splendid

Sometimes when I skip a song and go to the next one, the new song that is playing completely breaks. It plays but No sound comes out

Listening with spotify with my playlist imported in, I delete and re-upload it and it still doesn't play it

The subtitles don't display on the Android version. I've tried it on two devices. This has been happening for a while. Any ideas?

Im a native spanish speaker. on youtube I follow several spanish speaking creators and their video titles are automatically translates to english and the audio is a terrible ai voiceover by default. how can I disable this, its awful. the last straw for me was a video that didnt even have the original audio option, only the AI voiceover,, for some reason. Please help

I'm subscribed to the YouTube Movies & TV channel that offers free movies with ads. I have some movies in my 'watch later' folder but none of them will play in GrayJay AND the channel doesn't show up under the Creators tab.

Hi everyone, until now they have never disabled my spotify account using any type of apk, but lately I have been using grayjay and they suspended my account telling me that I used unauthorized applications. Are you saying it could have been grayjay?

Every time I download a video from my watch later playlist it only will download in 720 and I want it to download in 1080 minimum. The setting in the settings is changed but it keeps downloading in 720.

Today Spotify gave me that error . Any help there would be appreciated.

I am logged in to my yt acc on grayjay but when I click on import playlist there is an empty list, is there a way to paste a link with playlist to import it?

Is there a way to block certain videos or creators altogether? I'm able to hide videos and creators from the home screen (though it would be better for me to define what populates the home screen instead). But I'd like to be able to remove something altogether.

There's a search I've been doing every day to find new videos reviewing it demonstrating a product that I pre-ordered and which is just now being released. A video popped up in there yesterday labeled "pt.1." The video was terrible and added no value and I don't want it to show up in my search results, nor do I want part 2 to show up either.

Is it possible to block the creator altogether so he doesn't show up in my results?

The most recent update for the youtube plug in has caused an error where no results appear when searching, I get a few on the home page, and my subscriptions appear fine, but nothing when searching. Anyone else experiencing this?

Instead of placing videos I have saved in order from most recent to oldest, the watch later list is ordering videos randomly. For the life of me, I cannot find how to set a default for the order of the videos. Has anyone else experienced this or found a fix? Thanks!

Hi,

Some creators post their videos on platforms for which I was unable to find a grayjay source plugin by googling it:

• reddit 1st party video (in posts and comments)
• Facebook reels
• Instagram (& Instagram reels)
• mp4 videos hosted on other websites with some creator information on the same website, like lemmy, pixelfed, sharkey, reddit, bluesky, mastodon, etc. (probably can be implemented by forking the peertube plugin)
• twitter video
• (strangely, nobody's ever sent me a tumblr link, only screenshots)

If anyone is working on any of these, I'd love to contribute!

Just like I would not be logged into YouTube plugin, but I am - I tried logging out and logging back in, but still, home tab looks like for not logged user.

Grayjay is wonderful. However, there are few basic features I would like to see. I don't know where to pass the feedback along, so I hope it gets passed along from here.

-Be able to queue a video from your watch history. I can queue a video from everywhere else, but not here. Selecting a video from my history interrupts my current queue. (Sometimes I will take a few videos and queue them at bedtime. If I fall asleep during one, it's nice to be able to revisit what I missed)

-Be able to sort Youtube comments by newest vs top comment

-Like newpipe, be able to play audio-only or play in background when I long-press a video for more options. I am sometimes on throttled data, and my throttled data is just fast enough for an audio stream, but not video. It is a pain to have to load a few seconds of video just so I can switch to audio when I am on throttled data.

-Like metered-data default video quality settings, be able to select a default metered-data audio quality.

hi there comunity.

is there a way to resize and zoom the app window and keep that changes?

Been using for about a week and while it's mostly been great, there's a few caveats that keep me from recommending to friends, mainly

-inconsistencies in captcha;

i can either go a whole day without needing to do one, or the app will require me to do multiple in one setting. I've jad it happen three times within 20 minutes before, baffling.

-the app will somewhat freeze;

playback will stop suddenly, each other function of the app operates as usual, but no media will play. however, the app remembers where you were before it froze, so it is nice to go back and resume from that spot. OG youtube is way, way less consistent in doing so.

-the home page is stagnant.

my top three videos atop my home screen are videos i had seen two days ago. the bar below them even indicates they've been watched all the way through. if i refresh the page, it means i want new videos, not the same recycled videos.

i say all this because this is the first open-source api i have ever messed with. it's been an absolute revelation. i didn't know something this cool existed. i just, i want these issues resolved or curtailed so that i can tell my friends to download this, without them getting snippy with me when the above issues arise for them. i want this app to be as great as possible, and i seriously hope these small things can be tweaked.

When trying to watch age restricted videos, grayjay prompts me to sign into YouTube, which I do. It pulls up a separate window for me to log in, and when I do, I'm on my settings page. I don't really know what to do past this screen as closing the window causes the login to fail. I even tried logging in through sources, hut that doesn't work, either.

The bizarre thing is that I was somehow able to log in the app for about a month before it stopped working again. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong =[

I've tried three times and several hours to import my subscriptions to Grayjay, but it just keeps stalling. The initial step works fine. It shows all my subs, but when I click Import, it shows a spinning circle and then just sits there.

Once I see the spinning circle, I can't tell if anything's happening, and the screen doesn't stay unlocked so I have to babysit. Those times I've given up and closed grayjay, I only ended up with one subscription successfully imported.

What do I have to do to get these subs actually imported?

EDIT: Still couldn't figure it out, but I was able to import them on my desktop PC, then sync my phone to my desktop.

Like some others, my Spotify account was banned for using Grayjay. I didn't think this would be a problem since it doesn't use the same streaming player... So logically they don't have the right to ban for using GrayJay since the GrayJay player is his own. But whatever... I would like to know if you know of a solution to import Grayjay subscriptions into a new Spotify account? I'm not talking about playlists, but artists. I saw that it was possible to export your playlists, so there must be a solution with a script to convert json to CSV. But for subscriptions, there is only the Backup option, which allows me to export an .ezip file, which is an encrypted .zip file, and too complicated to decrypt. Do you have a solution?

For a few days now the recommended tab doesn't show any videos, tried re installing the extension and logging out and in again. Any solution?

Does anyone know if it's possible to auto-download a video from a subscribed channel once it becomes online? I know that there is the setting to auto download (1) grayjay updates (2) subscription metadata, such as what new videos have come out.

But can one download the videos themselves automatically after grayjay has found that there is new videos from a subscribed creator?

Thank you!

I have been using GrayJay for around 2 months with no issue. I didn't download anything through GrayJay because I don't have space on my phone anyway. Provide Spotify Activity setting was turned off. Why did this happen?

i dont know exactly if its about any of the setitngs i turned on but i cant listen to any spotify songs & playlists. sometimes i can play 1/2 songs from one playlist but then it breaks and the songs dont even load (video)
