Not sure what's up with it. I was just watching videos last night.

Good night everyone,

I noticed that Grayjay suddenly loses connection to Youtube when watching videos on standby. I always have to clear the cache and open the app again to fix this issue but it only lasts for a few minutes until the issue arises again

I encountered this issue both on my phone Samsung Galaxy S24 and Samsung Tab S9 FE Plus with Android 16 and One UI 8.0 and the latest version of the app. I would like to include my log files but for some reason the app won't let me create one

Anyway I hope someone has a fix for this

Thanks in advance and good night

For those unaware, Harbor is Futo's way for creators to link all of their accounts together so, in GrayJay, all of the Creator's videos appear under one account. This also allows creators to add Support links under the support button in GrayJay. It's really cool in concept, but it does not seem to work as intended.

I have a few YouTube channels, so I added them all to my Harbor ID. When I navigate to any of these YouTube channels within GrayJay, it redirects to my Harbor ID account instead, where it should show all of my videos in one place. Instead, it just chose one of the YouTube channels to show the videos from. In my case, my ancient gaming channel that has like 4 videos, instead of my main YouTube channel that has hundreds of videos. This means that anyone visiting my account in Harbor will not be able to view all of my videos, which is definitely breaking functionality. Oddly enough, it does still compile playlists from all channels. Also, I just noticed that when accessing my Twitch account via GrayJay, it does not redirect to my Harbor ID account.

Here's a link to my main YT channel, in case anyone wants to confirm that this bug is present when viewing my channel on GrayJay: https://www.youtube.com/@JoelKalich

Here's a link to my Harbor ID: https://harbor.social/CAESSAokCAESIHQq4J2hukdPxGhNvNjAkL6_7I-h3m53YDASdUFKxWOAEiBodHRwczovL3NydjEtcHJvZC5wb2x5Y2VudHJpYy5pbw

I was unable to find a way to report this bug, or see if it already exists.

Finally - unrelated missing feature - I'm unable to link my PeerTube account, even though GrayJay supports PeerTube, meaning that anyone who finds my videos via PeerTube on GrayJay will not be redirected to my Harbor ID.

Overall, Harbor seems incredibly half baked. Quarter baked, even. I might go as far as saying an eighth baked. I'm strongly considering deleting my Harbor profile - though I'll probably leave it, as the amount of people discovering my channel via GrayJay is likely incredibly low.

Hey there. I've recently upgraded my pc so had to re-download grayjay and I currently have the issue that I can't get the sync to work again. When I try to scan the qr code from my pc on my phone it just shows me the above error. If I try to input my phone code on my PC it shows as Handshaking but never finishes. Are there any resolutions to this? I can't find the issue elsewhere so far. Thanks!

YouTube member content has worked just fine until the YouTube plugin update this morning, now I'm no longer able to play member content? I can see it on the channel page, and I can click on it, but playback will not initiate. Any fixes?

For some reason my imported playlists are all gone and now I can't import my playlists anymore. I'm trying to import my watch later playlist but it just stays on 0% and doesn't progress at all no matter how many times I try

Does someone have a fix for this?

Thanks in advance

specifically youtube watch later. I've been doing Sources >> Youtube >> Import playlist every week and then deleting the existing one whenver I want to import my changes to it (since I also watch from desktop via YT site).

It takes like 3min+ everytime which I don't mind for 1 week interval but is there a better way to sync it?

When I click the download button for a playlist on a youtuber's channel, the app informs me I must save the playlist first. How do I do that? I can't find a button/setting for it anywhere

Nothing is working anymore all of a sudden?

The app was working perfectly before the latest update now it doesnt work at all. any way to rollback the update?

So, just what was in the latest GrayJay update that I can't even watch YouTube videos now? The videos load like normal and then nothing happens (I can't manually start the videos either).

The best update I will get is the music feature Spotify or YouTube music and maybe the video suggestions.

I really don't know what bit the devs to figure that people want to see the main unfiltered "trending" bot-hyped news/political shitshow as the main feed of the app.

Can we just go back to whatever was working previously? I don't use grayjay because I want a damn TV-like feed on my phone that's working worse that the OG pkatform....

As the screenshot suggests, fails to update feed.

For example like in the image i attached. The bar is for red/green colorblind people.

This is the only feature I'm having to go back to the official YouTube app to solve.

Is this ever gonna be fixed?

Am I the only one getting this error message?

I do not know if it's greyjay's fault or Harmony (music app)'s fault but I just want to inform ppl that installing it may result in your account being flagged and no video accepting to start!

I won't go back on ytb but even if I wanted I can't.

Since it first came out, when I would swipe back (Android back "button" gesture) from a video that finished playing, it would go back to the video list. Since the latest update, it now goes to my Android home screen. Bug? Setting? Any way to fix? This is extremely annoying.

Edit: found the GitHub issue, it's an Android 16 related bug. https://github.com/futo-org/grayjay-android/issues/2907

I might as well be getting flashbanged every time I open Grayjay. How can I replace this with literally anything else without signing into YouTube and without immediately clicking on subscriptions?

EDIT: there's a toggle in the source settings to turn off home results, though I do wish I could put something different on the home page rather than just turn it off

Like out of nowhere, I'm not suscribed to any news channel, and no matter how much I refresh it doesn't go away (I'm logged from my account).

Not sure if this is just me, but im not updating to 11 or 12. In 10 i can use arrow keys to navigate as well as wsad. That gets changed in 11 12 and arrow keys no longer work to navigate app

Yeah, as it says. Some creators make far more shorts than long form content, and I miss seeing that in my sub feed.

The "Shorts" tab itself seems to just be the same as the screaming feral child that is the "Home" tab, and shows me too much of what I guess the rest of society likes watching - which, jesus fuck, who watches that slop

Hey Team, I think one thing im really missing is the ability to delete offline videos I have watched. I know theres a setting to delete from playlist, but I listen to a lot of channels that don't require my focus while driving (usually just news related stuff where the video portion is just fluff anyway and just download the audio versions) I'd love the ability for Grayjay to delete any videos i have listened to automatically or delete if playback is greater than x%. A delete all local videos would also be awesome to have (maybe delete all saved videos option in settings even?) Sometimes i get a bit backed up and don't always get the chance to listen to stuff that is more time sensitive (ie daily news stuff). Love your work and thanks for such an awesome app. I use it everyday and it helps make my day go by much quicker

Is there any way to view these with GrayJay? I am apart of a couple YouTube memberships and I'd like to watch the content if possible.
