Yup, same here. Youtube broke something so you'll have to wait for an update. Grayjay is still working for me if you need another app to see videos.
Just in case this matters to OP or anyone else in this thread, Grayjay isn't Open Source, despite Rossman's and FUTO's claims to the contrary. Its license disallows any commercial use of Grayjay, and also disallows removing any features related to paying FUTO. Which disqualify Grayjay as "Open Source" by the OSI's definition.
And consequently, F-Droid won't distribute Grayjay unless they change their license.
AFAIK FUTO/Rossmann, to their credit, stopped trying to openwash themselves. They created their own phrase "source-first" to describe their proprietary EULA.
That doesn't change the fact that it's proprietary and not worth promoting here.
Oh! That's good to hear. Honestly, that issue has kindof pissed me off enough at Rossmann specifically that I kindof quit watching his YouTube videos and stuff. So I very much haven't been following him or FUTO.
I wonder if the FUTO website still claims that they require all projects to be or have a plan to become specifically "Open Source".
Edit: Yup. They still say "All FUTO-funded projects are expected to be open-source or develop a plan to eventually become so" on this page. Maybe that means that they intend for Grayjay to "develop a plan to eventually become" properly Open Source and not just "source first".
Agreed, but it is working, you don't HAVE to pay, and I can remain anonymous.
That's good enough for me.
