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

[–] moitoi@feddit.de 6 points 2 years ago

It's not open source. It's only source available.

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?

You'll probably want to report that to the devs. It is in alpha so there is a lot to add, fix, and tweak.

[–] RandomStickman@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

I did report it just making sure I haven't miss anything. Pretty excited about the app

If only all modern software was like this, as they used to be over a decade ago ☹️

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?
