Sorry for the unreliable builds recently. I've spoken with Futo about the generic latestversion.zip downloads and have been advised about versioned links which they don't officially publish. Hopefully that should finally resolve the issue of this package breaking when a new release is published to the same download URL breaking checksums.

@Dominik sorry, I can't reproduce what you're describing. I have tried both installing in a fresh sandbox VM and wiping/reinstalling on my main system. In both cases I can't reproduce the behaviour you describe. Screenshot of what I get: https://imgur.com/iUXibQD

If you are upgrading from an earlier install I would completely uninstall and make sure you delete $HOME/.local/share/grayjay, but otherwise I can't think of anything else that might help.

@nathanchere Going to sources → "Official Plugins", There are no plugins I could activate or install (see screenshot)

The only option I've got is under sources → "Install Other Sources", where I install from URL. I tried to copy the URLs from the official grayjay-sources.github.io which resulted in the error message "Invalid Config". How can I install the offical plugins correctly?

@Dominik I don't use pikaur but have confirmed it works with both paru and yay. Re: plugins, it only includes PeerTube instance by default, you have to install the others via "Sources" tab (icon looks like gamepad buttons) and "install official sources". You can add Youtube/Rumble/etc there.

Dominik commented on 2025-02-04 12:03 (UTC)

The package doesn't build with an aur helper (pikaur). Manually building the package worked. However, all sources are missing except from "PeerTube Instance". Please include the other official plugins into your build.

Even with the new update this package seems to remain broken

I can't install it:

Same issue. No patch for now.

/home/<user>/.cache/paru/clone/grayjay-bin/PKGBUILD: line 23: cd: /home/<user>/.cache/paru/clone/grayjay-bin/src/grayjay/Grayjay.Desktop-linux-x64-v5: No such file or directory

I have checked manually and the folder that is actually being created is marked as v4.

n72 commented on 2025-01-28 19:50 (UTC)

I'm not sure where it would get that v5 in the path. The current zip has v4 in it. Can you show more of the error message? Also are you testing my patch, or talking about current PKGBUILD?

Btw for anyone testing, Grayjay stopped reading ~/Grayjay for whatever reason and is saving in ~/.local/share/grayjay, which would be wiped on subsequent updates...

There seems to be an issue with the build on 5-2 maybe. my /home/<user>/.cache/yay/grayjay-bin/src/grayjay/Grayjay.Desktop-linux-x64-v5 folder does not exist when it tries to build. creating manually does not help, it gets cleaned after failure I think. Maybe someone can confirm it's not just me.
