Newpipe scrapes the HTML, its against the ToS but harder to block.
Scrapping HTML can’t be against ToS…didn’t that judge ruled it legal to do in that case against LinkedIn?

Please tell Louis he is damaging the project by calling it open source when it is not. If you want to be Free Libre Open Source Software then use an OSI and FSF approved licence. If you want to be FLOSS and protect your brand from people cloning your app, do like Mozilla and use a trademark + MPL. If you don't want to be open source don't call it open source, it's shared source or something else. I told him and he di…
Christ, no one goddamn cares if it's open source or not! It's an app sourly needed right now.
Some people do not care about using pirated versions of Office.
Some people care very much about whether software is or isn't open source especially when it is claimed to be but isn't.
Being open source means that if FUTO goes bankrupt or is purchased or abandons GrayJay due to unprofitability or decides to pivot and become anti-user or etc. etc., then the app can be forked.
The current licences is so stupid that not only does it not allow forking, it actually does not allow using the app for it's intended purpose. This is egregious open-washing.

There's no paywall, it just asks you to pay for the software. You can use it without paying for as long as you like, but it's paid software. See: WinRAR
call it donationware then. that sets the expectations of people accordingly
It is not Open Source as claimed by Louis Rossmann https://gitlab.futo.org/videostreaming/grayjay/-/blob/master...
Their plugin system is interesting, they embedded a V8 engine to run JavaScript to then make some api calls to the various platforms. I am 99% sure this is against each platform ToS and that they will get sued by Twitch, YouTube, etc. Especially since they are asking people to pay. But I wish they good luck!
Can't you use the APIs without accepting the TOS?
Been using it today, if they want mass adoption theyll need to gind a way to import subscriptions from youtube and find some slightly better way to recommend videos. They arent going for mass adoption right now so ill say that it works just as expected and is a very smooth experiance. Maybe a few ui tweeks(let me sub from search results please) and some fixes to the loading screens but i can see myself using this on…
You can click source -> YouTube -> Login followed by import subscriptions.

At the end of the day that is why I decided to not be open for my business. Even if you try to be on the good side its hard and you have the eternal source available vs open source debate. I wish they would develop a license friendly to both businesses that want to ship software that is source available and users of that software. One could strike a balance between full OSS and legitimate needs of the producer to liv…
They can use whatever licence they want. It's their software. They should only call it open source if they use an OSI-approved licence. Doing otherwise is openwashing and is frowned upon.
I'm curious if this reports playback to YT properly. I'm playing for premium and I'd like that money to go to the correct channels. They do mention the paid/unpaid mix, but explicitly call out only Patreon. Same for Nebula (with subscription) and Twitch (time watched, ads "viewed"). Also, I find it a bit funny that with their goals and target initial audience, they have social presence on Twitter but not mastodon/blu…
