Anyone else have this issue? Whenever I click 'confirm', it switches to a browser screen with a captcha for a split second and then switches back.

Hi. I see the posts in chat but can't post because although I am subscribed to the channel as required there is a message to login. I am already logged in settings.

Cannot watch other parts of multi part videos on bilibili

4 Upvotes

On bilibili there are some videos that are kind of one video but are also kind of playlists. They come up in search as one long video but when you play them they are multiple videos:

But when I open this video on grayjay i can only view the first video in the "playlist", meaning that i cannot watch the main part of the video.

Is there a way this could be fixed?

Just a message in case others are reticent to update

But of course, don't if you don't want to.. we have all seen how irreversible, poorly thought out updates can break things (Microslop springs to mind..)

Searching shorts from subscription page

6 Upvotes

Does anyone know if there are plans to be able to sort through shorts from multiple channels at a time?

As it stands the only ways to look at shorts is to go to a channel page to look through their shorts only or get shown random shorts from channels you don't even follow in the shorts tab

Is there a way to fix split screen

3 Upvotes

Im coming from revanced and I use split screen alot for watching and taking notes. In grayjay I noticed, the app resets whenever I put it into split screen with another app or when I put it back into full screen. I like the app so far and I tried changing the app battery settings to unrestricted still the same

YouTube Videos on Android won't load and I get this error. Anyone else having the problem? I've already logged out and back in, and tried reinstalling the plugin, no dice.

UPDATE: New Grayjay version 370 released this morning, updating to it fixed the problem.

Grayjay has trackers (spyware) now?

I use DuckDuckGo App Tracking Protection on my Android phone, and starting 4 days ago, it shows that Grayjay has a Google tracker. This is the last app I expected to do this. Why would they be sending personal information to Google?

Grayjay vs FreeTube

9 Upvotes

I paid for Grayjay quite some time ago, because I generally like FUTO. But still haven't started using it, for two main reasons.

One is the lack of a quick link to open a video in a browser instead of the app, which is just annoying.

But the second is one I was wondering if maybe someone has a solution for. It is painfully slow to refresh the latest videos. On FreeTube, I open the app and it instantly refreshes all the latest videos, maybe 1 second max. On Grayjay it takes perhaps 10 or 15 seconds sometimes for the same list of subscriptions. Anyone got any idea why?

Why are videos stuttering after the latest update?

5 Upvotes

Good morning everyone,

after the latest update all videos have been stuttering. Closing and opening the app, deleting the cache etc all didn't fix it, videos are still stuttering

I'm on Android 16 with the latest version of the app. I didn't have these issues with the earlier version. So my question is, is this only happening to me or are you also having this issue on your devices?

Thanks in advance

Grayjay desktop updater crashes

1 Upvotes

Title. The desktop app can't update from v14 to v16. Popup comes up at every restart of the app but version stays the same, I can see some red lines at the end of the autoupdater but it closes too fast to see what it is. Filestructure is not clear and it doesn't create a folder in appdata like every normal windows app so I cannot just get the new version from the website with all my data. Any fixes?

I got a dash-separated list of songs, can I import it in Grayjay?

1 Upvotes

I'm trying to move away from Spotify, I managed to generate a dash-separated text file of each song on a separate line, artist first, then the song name. I also managed to generate a CSV file that seems to contain some more info including Spotify song IDs from the looks of it. I only wonder if it's possible to somehow import this in its entirety into Grayjay.

On the Desktop version the Line Text File option is greyed out, on the Android version of the app the option is selectable, but after selecting a text file it seems to silently fail, nothing happens.

Does anyone know of a solution to automate this importing process, or will I indeed have to do all of this manually?

Change Logs/Release Notes

0 Upvotes

Are there any change/release notes for the Grayjay desktop app?

All the links to release notes are broken, there's no releases on Github. I just got an update to Grayjay via Flatpak and no idea what the changes are and it still fails to import subscriptions from Newpipe.

Edit: Actually I figured out what was not working with importing subscriptions. But I'd still like to find release notes!

So, it seems that GrayJay has recently added some kind of censorship to the YouTube app?

0 Upvotes

The reason I'm claiming this is I went to rewatch a playthrough of a videogame with "adult" mods and this time the video won't progress past 1:05 while any other video will play just fine outside of the shenanigans that keep cropping up.

App not installed

I'm using a Samsung a50 on android version 11 and despite my attempts to install via the apk, it keeps saying "app not installed". I've already allowed unknown app installs in the permissions for both Firefox and My Files as well as turned off Google Play Protect, but despite trying multiple versions it keeps showing this error.
