视频流媒体服务大多包含 DRM，并限制下载离线媒体拷贝，即使你拥有这些媒体。


每个平台都有自己的一套规则，这些规则对创作者来说可能公平也可能不公平。那么，对于消费者来说呢？要关注多个网络，而且平台可用的订阅选项也很混乱。


如果我们有一个**单一应用让我们访问所有这些网络的视频怎么样？**


**不仅如此：如果我们可以拥有离线下载**的福利以及更多功能，例如能够在同一应用中**将视频投射到电视**，而无需使用多个应用，那会怎么样？


而且，这些功能都以**应用的形式存在，其源码可以检查和修改**。听起来令人印象深刻，对吧？


嗯，这就是一个组织 [FUTO](https://futo.org/)（[**Louis Rossmann**](https://www.youtube.com/@rossmanngroup) 是其成员之一）提出的。


来认识一下 “**Grayjay**”，你可以在该应用中**跨多个网络关注内容创作者，没有 DRM 和任何不必要的限制**。


### Grayjay：专注于创作者


![](/data/attachment/album/202310/26/115328hkl7xn7vy9nzyvgl.jpg)


Grayjay 是一款媒体应用，旨在让创作者控制他们拥有的视频以及任何获利机会。


该应用处于初始阶段，因此其主要目标尚未反映在该应用中。


目前，该应用是一个**提供源码**的产品，你可以在其中观看来自你喜爱的网络的视频，同时摆脱跟踪器、广告和平台的其他烦恼。


**Louis Rossmann** 是这个项目的中心，我相信这让我们值得去看一下：

具体大家可以观看视频，我给大家总结一下，节省大家的时间：


* Grayjay 的目标是成为 [Newpipe](https://newpipe.net/) 和 [YouTube ReVanced](https://revanced.app/) 等应用的**更好替代品**。
* 该应用**提供源码**，它允许你查看源代码，根据你的要求制作你自己的版本（但不能用于商业用途）。
* 该应用**不是免费的**，其商业模式将用户视为客户，而不是产品。然而，如果没有任何 DRM，该应用最终将为你提供无限的免费试用期。
* 虽然 Louis 将其称为“开源”以让大多数人理解，但它并不具有你通常期望的标准许可证。他们选择使用非标准许可证，以便能够阻止该应用的恶意重新分发。


你可以在其 [GitLab 页面](https://gitlab.futo.org/videostreaming/grayjay) 及其 [官方网站](https://grayjay.app/) 上仔细查看它。

目前仅适用于安卓。考虑到它仍在开发中，你可以决定安装 APK 来尝试一下。

Video streaming services mostly include DRMs and restrictions to download offline copies of the media, even if you own them.

Every platform has its set of rules that may or may not be fair to the creators. And, for consumers? Multiple networks to follow, and confusion regarding subscription options available for the platforms.

What if we had a **single application that allowed us to access videos from all those networks?**

**Not just that:** what if we could have the perks of **offline downloads** and more features like the ability to **cast videos to TV **within the same app, without needing to use multiple apps?

And, all of that in the form of **an app whose source code is available to inspect and modify**. Sounds impressive, right?

Well, that's what an organization, [FUTO](https://futo.org/?ref=news.itsfoss.com) (with [ Louis Rossmann](https://www.youtube.com/@rossmanngroup?ref=news.itsfoss.com) being one of its members) has come up with.

Meet "**Grayjay**", an app where you can **follow content creators across multiple networks** **without DRMs and any unnecessary restrictions**.

## Grayjay: Focusing on Creators

![grayjay app screenshots](https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/10/gray-jay.jpg)

Grayjay is a media app that aims to give creators control over the videos they own, along with any monetization opportunities.

The app is in its initial phase, so its primary objective is not yet reflected with the app.

At present, the app is a **source-available** offering where you can watch videos from your favorite networks while getting rid of trackers, ads, and other annoyances of the platforms.

**Louis Rossmann** is at the center of this project, and I believe that makes it worthwhile for us to check it out.

[Louis Rossmann](https://www.youtube.com/@rossmanngroup/videos?ref=news.itsfoss.com)channel to know more.

The video included information such as:

- Grayjay aims to be a
**better replacement to apps**like[Newpipe](https://newpipe.net/?ref=news.itsfoss.com)and[YouTube ReVanced](https://revanced.app/?ref=news.itsfoss.com). - The app is
**source-available**, which allows you to inspect the source code, make your own version of it as per your requirements (but not for commercial usage). - The app is
**not free**to have a business model where users are treated as customers, not products. However, without any DRM, the app will end up offering you an infinite free trial period. - While Louis mentions it as
**open-source**for most people to understand, it does not feature the standard license that you would normally expect. They chose to go with a non-standard license to be able to take down malicious redistribution of the app.

You can take a closer look at it on its [GitLab page](https://gitlab.futo.org/videostreaming/grayjay?ref=news.itsfoss.com) and its [official website](https://grayjay.app/?ref=news.itsfoss.com).

It is currently available for Android only. Considering it is still a work-in-progress, you can decide to install the APK to try it out.

*💬 While the app is source-available, Louis mentions that it can be redistributed for personal use-cases. What do you think about Grayjay? Share your thoughts*.
