What is Grayjay?

Grayjay is a cutting-edge app that serves as a video player and source aggregator. It allows you to stream and organize videos from various sources, providing a unified platform for your entertainment needs.

It's mostly used as a YouTube frontend^. However, it is now launching as a desktop app for Linux, Mac and Windows.

Honestly the mobile app doesn't work for such long periods of time that I've all but given up and gone back to YouTube.

If anyone knows an app to replace YouTube that is actually reliable then let me know! I'm in the market.

What do you mean it doesnt work for longer periods of time? Been flawless for me ever since I started using it.

It either restarts part way through or stops playing as if it can't buffer anymore.

It comes and goes, sometimes I'll go a couple of weeks of it working fine then for a week or more i get the above issues.

...truth?

Run your own yt-dlp frontend. Punchflat... or one of the many other solutions out there. Dump your subs to a folder and let Jellyfin turn them into individual shows with episodes.

I shouldn't have to do that!

Don't tell me. Tell Google, or... pay them, I guess. Your call. I'll be over here turning my lemons into lemonade. You do whatever you want with yours.

Did you just have a whole conversation with yourself? Lol at least give me a chance to respond.

Thanks for the recommendation.
