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.

Grayjay mobile is awesome, very much looking forward to checking this out. Love how it puts all my YouTube, Patreon, Twitch and Peertube content in one place.

95℅ of the time my Patreon feeds fail to load. This isn't your experience?

There's an occasional error popup during playback, but the feeds and video still work here. I'm on Grayjay v268 w/ Patreon v17

My biggest issue is Peertube tbh, discovery is difficult, border line useless.

The peertube app recently launched and its pretty decent for a first release

I am linux noob, they provided a .zip file for linux. Do I need to use the command line to install it?

That's awesome. I love the grayjay mobile app. I need more non YouTube creators to follow though

Yes, finally! I've been using the mobile app, and it has been nothing but amazing.

Mobile app has been the best YouTube app replacement I've found. And I just got the pop up about the desktop app on my drive home from work. Will for sure check it out.

I wish it more closely mirrored YouTube's native video suggestions, but it's pretty damn close.

Hopefully there's light mode

Does it have tabs? if not I can't see myself caring.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

It doesn't look like it does. It has multiple stackable windows, though.
