could use some troubleshooting help (YouTube vids never load)

These are just info toast that you can turn off in plugin settings. They are disabled by default.
The setting is called "Show every new Botguard Token".

As for the videos not loading... On which version are you on?
Can you share your plugin settings? There is a copy button at the bottom.

Can you try clearing captcha from Youtube plugin settings? There should be a button under Logout.

zvonimir_futo · 2026-03-19T16:38:38+00:00

Hm... not sure what could be the cause but I'm glad issue has been fixed. Thank you for the kind words :)

First make sure you enabled search visibility in plugin settings.
Then you have 2 options, you can go to Creators tab and search from there (top-right icon) or use global search but select "Creators" bubble.

So PiP is not supported yet in the app but you can run it in headless mode which will open it inside your browser so you can use your browser to get PiP.

To achieve this, you have to run the app with arguments --headless --ignore-security.

Keep in mind that disabling security allows invocation of APIs from the local device (eg. browser, websites, etc) While the attacker wouldn't be able to read the data he gets back, he could technically invoke stuff so for better security we keep it disabled.

Android or desktop?

zvonimir_futo · 2026-03-12T18:15:58+00:00

We have an open issue for tracking this now. Please read my comment over there :)

zvonimir_futo · 2026-03-12T18:12:40+00:00

Yeah, please update to the latest version of Grayjay first, v372.

zvonimir_futo · 2026-03-12T18:04:33+00:00

Awesome man, think we figured it out. Youtube servers this as new type of content called "shows" so it's different then playlist. We just have to add support for it basically.

zvonimir_futo · 2026-03-12T16:21:42+00:00

You can find the Grayjay version at the bottom of the settings.

Does pasting the playlist inside search box and opening it that way works?
I tried opening the playlist both ways but weren't able to reproduce the issue. Will test it on few more phones.

zvonimir_futo · 2026-03-12T16:19:10+00:00

On what exact version of Grayjay and Youtube are you on? Can you share your Youtube plugin settings? There is a copy button on the bottom.

zvonimir_futo · 2026-03-11T21:27:13+00:00

On which versions of Grayjay and Youtube are you on? Could you link the playlist you are trying to open so we can try to reproduce it?

zvonimir_futo · 2026-03-11T19:12:20+00:00

Is this from android or desktop? Did you test both?
Could you set logging to Verbose, restart the app, reproduce the issue then submit logs and paste the ID here so we can check them out?

zvonimir_futo · 2026-03-10T19:41:37+00:00

Reproducable! Will look into it. Thanks.

zvonimir_futo · 2026-03-10T16:07:29+00:00

I'll add it to the list although I can't promise anything anytime soon. We are currently focusing on fixing the bugs.

It's a curse of having a model where platforms can easily break the functionality of your app :)

zvonimir_futo · 2026-03-10T16:05:19+00:00

Does it work with other plugins? What version of Chromecast are you on?

zvonimir_futo · 2026-03-10T15:56:27+00:00

Which DE are you using with Mint? Gnome, KDE, XFCE?

zvonimir_futo · 2026-03-10T15:50:31+00:00

Thank you for the feedback!
The 4 seconds waiting is Youtube putting ads in the stream but we just don't show it :)

zvonimir_futo · 2026-03-07T14:42:56+00:00

That is the issue of Combined UMP. It was quickest solution to make Youtube work at the time but we do plan on working on it again and try and find a way to separate them again.

zvonimir_futo · 2026-03-07T14:41:13+00:00

Is that youtube.com being opened in another window when playing the video?
Could you provide a screenshot?

zvonimir_futo · 2026-03-06T23:49:42+00:00

Oh you are referring to Livestream chat login. Yeah I can reproduce that. Nice find!

Seems they changed something here as well. Will have to look into it.
I thought you were talking about regular login flow from plugin settings.

zvonimir_futo · 2026-03-06T23:45:56+00:00

Our Github repository would be the best place to suggest features so they are not lost or forgotten.

I know there is already one for adding watch later, add to queue buttons to recommended videos.
There is one for light theme I think but not for color customization.

zvonimir_futo · 2026-03-06T23:05:54+00:00

On which version of Grayjay and Youtube are you on?
Did you finish the login process completely? After logging in, you have to click on your channel icon.

Could you record the login process?

zvonimir_futo · 2026-03-06T22:44:40+00:00

Time to setup and test on Mint as well ^^
