- Old model 3DS are limited to 144p only
Support for livestreams and premiered videos

- This is due to the app only using YouTube's API, and is not due to ad-blockers. The creator does not plan to add their own ads at this time.

Installation

Universal-Updater

Universal-DB is available on Universal-DB and can be installed and updated with Universal-Updater.

Manually

Download the .3dsx or .cia from the latest release
If you downloaded the .3dsx, copy this file to the 3ds folder on your SD card
If you downloaded the .cia, copy this file to any place on your SD card and install it with FBI

The controls for this app are as follows:

B: go back to the previous screen
C-Pad up/down: scroll
L or R: switch between tabs

 == Requirements ==
-A 3DS (including 2DS) with Luma3DS installed and DSP1 run.
+DSP firmware must be dumped to use this app. An option to do this can be found in [[3DS:Luma3DS/Rosalina|Rosalina]].
-I haven't tested the minimum system version, but at least 8.1.0-0 is needed.
-== FAQ ==
-* Does it make sense? The worst question in the console homebrew scene. Isn't it just exciting to see your favorite videos playing on a 3DS?
-== Credits ==
+The exact minimum system version is unknown, but at least 8.1.0-0 is needed.
-* Core 2 Extreme For Video player for 3DS which this app is based on. Needless to say, the video playback functionality is essential for this app, and it would not have been possible to develop this software without him spending his time optimizing the code sometimes even with assembly and looking into HW decoding on the new 3DS.

-* dixy52-beep For in-app textures
-* PokéTube For the icon and the banner
-* The contributors of youtube-dl As a reference about YouTube webpage parsing. It was especially helpful for the deobfuscation of ciphered signatures.
-* The contributors of pytube As a reference about YouTube webpage parsing. Thanks to its strict dependency-free policy, I was able to port some of the code without difficulty.
