'''ThirdTube''' is a ~~Homebrew~~ application for the Nintendo 3DS which replaces the original YouTube app ~~for~~ the ~~3DS which~~ is now unsupported. ~~It allows playback~~ in ~~a few resolutions~~

'''ThirdTube''' is a homebrew application for the Nintendo 3DS which replaces the original YouTube app, as the original is now unsupported.

{{Critical

| text = This application is broken due to a change in YouTube's API. Attempting to play any video will return an error.

}}

== Features ==

* Multiple resolutions for New 3DS, up to 360p

* ~~Video Playback~~ up to 360p

** This might be expanded in future versions, but the 3DS' hardware is the main limiting factor

** ~~480p~~ might be ~~possible and could be considered~~ in the ~~future development~~

** Old model 3DS are limited to 144p only

~~{| class="wikitable"~~

* Support for livestreams and premiered videos

* ~~Livestreams~~ and ~~premiere~~ videos ~~support~~

* Searching

* Video ~~suggestion~~

* Video suggestions

* Comments

* Captions

* Local watch history and channel subscription

* No ads

** It's ~~more like "Ads are~~ not ~~implemented" rather than "We have~~ ad-~~blocking functionality"~~. ~~Of course, I will never "implement" it :)~~

** 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.

~~== Controls ==~~

* B ~~button~~ : go back to the previous ~~scene~~

== Usage ==

* {{B|B}}: go back to the previous screen

* Select + Start : blackout the bottom screen

* C-Pad up/down: scroll

* {{B|L}} or {{B|R}}: switch between tabs

** Arrow left/right : ~~10 s seek~~

* {{B|Select}} + {{B|Start}}: blackout the bottom screen

* D-Pad left/right: If in video player, seeks by 10s

Below are for debug purposes

* Select + X : toggle debug log

* {{B|Select}} + {{B|X}} : toggle debug log

* {{B|Select}} + {{B|R}} + {{B|A}} : toggle FPS monitor

== 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.
