Grayjay App - Follow Creators Not Platforms
grayjay.app

Watched Louis Rossman today, and he’s part of the team behind a new app for watching online video content - not just youtube, but nebula, peertube, twitch and more.

adblock already integrated, works amazingly with a quick test on my end - it’s an app in the Lemmy spirit

(it’s got a paid model similar to winrar, you don’t have to pay - but they do want you to - opensource and all)

    ReVanced taps into my history with microg. When I watch stuff on desktop with Firefox and uBlock Origin, I want those videos to show as watched on my phone when I open ReVanced so I don’t get recommended the same stuff. That works.

    GrayJay can’t do this. It’s not better. It’s a good idea, but it’s a side grade.

      That’s the exact opposite of what most people want from an app like this.

        It’s what I want from an app like this 🤷‍♂️

      Grayjay can do this - there is a toggle in the settings for the YouTube addin to sync watch data with your Google account.

        It’s a one-time sync though. If I want history from what I watched on my desktop today I have to resync.

      As lemann pointed out there’s a setting for that in the YT add-on im the sources tab, not the app settings. Also myself and others have had loading issues with Revanced. It’ll start playing, suddenly start buffering and never stops. Grayjay works as it should and still has the settings I want from Revanced. Not to argue, just want to let others in my situation know Grayjay is the upgrade we need.

        I had that issue and it was because I needed to update Revanced.

          That’s what I saw in a reddit post way back but updating and reinstall never fixed it. I was using YT on browser for a while just because it was more reliable and didn’t have ads. UI sucked ass though. Ky biggest critique on Grayjay so far is the lack of vertical swipes to adjust volume/brightness.

            I’m having the same problem with revanced right now. Buffering and pausing and often never recovering.

                Thanks, I actually have it installed and I’ve been playing with it. It’s been playing smoothly.

                The problem is that the authentication with my account is failing, so I can’t get my subscriptions and watch history. I’m still working on figuring it out
