GrayJay App - Almost all your media sources in one place, Developed in partnership with Louis Rossmann

[Zyklon C]

I love GrayJoy on Android but on desktop it's been a very mixed bag for me. My biggest issue is its refuses to fully update my feed with all the latest videos, and often chokes on Rumble videos.

Wish Desktop had picture-in-picture though.

PIP works if you pass the --headless parameter then the video uses your browser's native PIP instead of having to open an obnoxious chromium wrapper. For some reason when I upgraded to v14 now I also have to pass --ignore-security. Changelogs would help me understand why I have to pass the security exemption but as alpha I can almost tolerate it. Also I am running the binaries out of /opt since the headless didn't work with flatpak.

Edit: Now I found that their changelogs are kept through a self hosted gitlab instead of github, which is very understandable. https://gitlab.futo.org/videostreaming/Grayjay.Desktop/-/tags I think I will continue with the risk of headless mode.

v14:

NOTE: Headless/Server modes have been disabled by default for now.
It is not recommended, as it does allow for external invocation of Grayjay endpoints, but you can bypass it by using --ignore-security

I don't think I've gotten Rumble to work in weeks, but it seems fine right now with Desktop v14.

It could be related to this, because I have gotten Cloudcuck captchas when trying to load Rumble's website recently:

Rumble is just as janky with yt-dlp and BravePipe, so it's not just a Grayjay thing.

tbh I'd use Rumble more (and go over to the Rumble versions of creators I follow on YT who mirror to Rumble), but even with all the pajeets doing their best to break it, YT somehow still plays nicer with third party viewers/downloaders than Rumble.

It's impressive they manage to be more incompetent than jeets deliberately shitting up their site because they hate "bots" downloading videos. Wouldn't expect any less from the company that still thinks it's a good idea to use pro-pedophile, anti-KF Path Network.
