Quick shout-out to Grayjay: An app to watch videos on any platform - reducing the power of individual services. The Software is open-source and can be found here: https://gitlab.futo.org/videostreaming/grayjay

I will test this out for myself and hope someone here finds this useful.

I literally just watched the video from Louis Rossman, and came straight here. Pleased to see everyone already talking about it!

I watched a bunch of that too but what was a little concerning to me was holding up Destiny as an example of a good use case for the service. There's a reason Destiny keeps getting banned from every platform he touches. Putting him up front and center makes me wonder if they have a plan to deal with problematic people (like Destiny). Are they just going to the up hosting white supremacists and Neonazis? That's not really a (meta)platform i want to support.

I think this looks awesome. Curious if it will be added to F-Droid?

I tried to import my subscription from YouTube to the app but I got rate limited due to the large amount of channels. Is there a way around it?

I'd rather use libretube or newpipe

Can we get via Obtanium?

[–] stefanyas@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

Sure, but it can also update itself.

If only it didn't require you to have a new phone to run it. (Minimum Android 10)

I find it strange that they immediately called it a "better ReVanced", when apart from the feed thing it doesn't have nearly as many features as ReVanced.

Has anyone come up with an actual reason to switch? Because I have a feeling ReVanced is still better?

Can you import from a newpipe backup?

[–] ram@bookwormstory.social 2 points 2 years ago

No, only from an existing YouTube account

[–] ToxicWaste@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

Since they encourage ppl to write plugins, hopefully someone will write an import feature.
