i was able to play a livestream on grayjay
It's unreliable for me. I'm assume I don't have the bandwidth that the program expects and it doesn't want to reduce the quality.
Even I tried it at release, it wasn't usable when you had a lot of subscriptions. Gave up after a couple weeks of trying it
Did they manage to fix this?
Options are good.
Hopefully being a paid app developed full-time by FUTO allows it to be worked on for a long time to come.
It would be really helpful if grayjay could register as a YouTube.com link handler, that's the only thing stopping me from using it most of the time
I've got it opening YouTube links by default... At least from within other apps. In Firefox I can also hit "open in app" and it pops right up. Casting works too.
Huh, odd. I can't get it to open YouTube links on any of my devices. I guess I'll have to investigate.
Edit: ahh, the play store version doesn't support link handling
If I open the link from Discord it goes straight to NewPipe for some reason but worka through the browser, dunno why
Ooooh okay. Yeah, I avoided the playstore version. I'm pretty sure I had read somewhere early on that the Playstore version would lack features or otherwise be behind in some ways due to complying with certain Google specific requirements to be allowed on the storefront. Kind of like KDEConnect.
Yeah. GrayJay has been my go to for almost a year now. There's been some bugs, but they've gotten most of it worked out. It isn't perfect, but it's definitely worth using.
I use the Tubular fork as well, love it, however the dev has life things that slow down how fast fixes get merged in βΉοΈ in the meantime I either watch Nebula (or use Freetube on my HTPC as a backup, they tend to publish a fixed build ridiculously fast).
My fav Grayjay feature has to be "polycentric" comments on Nebula videos, pretty cool to discuss with other Nebula subscribers seeing as the official app has no social features
