NewPipe vs Grayjay?

It should produce [example](https://). Then replace the https:// in brackets with your URL, so that "example" becomes a link when you post.

By "Tick Fdroid Options" I was referring to the screen you get after first installing Obtainium, it has tick boxes where you want it to grab apk's from. I only ticked github as I thought ticking Fdroid will leave me open to the same security flaws of installing via Droidify (as I used to do).

From what you said above it sounds like I was indeed wrong, and that's not the case.

So just to confirm, are you saying that if I let Obtainium install apk's from fdroid repo, that's different than installing that same app from Froid via the Fdroid or Droidify apps?

[deleted] You can download it directly from their site https://grayjay.app/#download (how do I make a pretty link like the guys above?)

I guess that should mean I can enter that URL in Obtainium to install and watch for updates?

Scatterbrain The app auto prompts for updates when they're available since it's a network connected app by it's nature.

Scatterbrain That did not work for me. But the app self-updates.

Dumdum I found your post, followed your instructions (using Obtainium) and successfully installed Grayjay. Thank you for this.

However, I noticed the app updates itself and Obtainium now shows version 264 installed but version 253 as the latest. Does the Grayjay repo no longer receive updates? Is this normal? Should I remove it from Obtainium and rely on the app itself for updates?

I wouldn't know, that would be a question for the FUTO devs.

Should I remove it from Obtainium and rely on the app itself for updates?

Its up to you. I suppose if the app updates itself, then there's probably no need for Obtainium in that case.

Lol, it supports many platforms was what I wanted to say.

[deleted] I've used both but when Google screwed over third party YouTube apps recently I tried grayjay because there were like one of the only options that managed to evade whatever Google did behind the scenes to break functionality for third party YouTube apps and I liked it so much I stuck with it.

For me the biggest reasons I love it are the great functionality/UI
And that you can use it to watch content from other platforms like rumble, twitch etc. it's nice having all that content in one place.

I'm sticking with it for the foreseeable future. To me it's just a better product all around than most of the other alternatives.

xarexyouxmadx It's a great app, but unfortunately will not install on a Nvidia Shield Pro, despite being android, and casting is such a silly waste of resources
