Homebrew Creating A YouTube Uploader For 3DS Homebrew, & Need Help.

Who stores videos on their 3DS? Especially in DCIM. It's not like you can record your gameplay on 3DS.

I do

Why, though?

Isn't it obvious? It's because the 3ds has an amazing 32MP Camera & an amazing camera application compared to its predecessor. :yay3ds:

I'm really sorry but to me this is just absolutely useless. I really cannot see any possible use for this. You would be much better off just transferring video from SD to PC and uploading from there. The only reason is because the 3ds wifi speeds are just absolute garbage. Can anyone please shed light on why this would be useful, cause I genuinely wonder why someone would want/need to upload straight from a 3ds.

Hum... thats not how it works... you have to write C/C++ and xml surely is not c...

Thank you for the advice. I really appreciate your time trying to help me out. Even though I'm fresh out the box with the HTML Certification, I'm still trying to work my way to try & learn all of the coding languages I can, which might take me years of practice, but I'm still gonna try, anyways.

It isn't? Wow. That's kinda weird. I never even knew, because my Programming Teacher had us start with HTML, & she said it was.

Also, I'm sorry if I'm sounding braindead to you, but I literally am trying my best to be able to know how to do stuff like this.

It is a markup language. It just tells the browser the formatting of the page.

You can technically already upload straight to YouTube on n3DS.

Er...., it requires that you email YouTube a specific link (that they give you) with the video attached, but it works. Barely.

I meant o3DS. Not n3DS. Of course I know that.

I mean, you do bring up valid points, but I'm just trying to figure out who in their right mind would use FTP or an SD Card.

He makes a valid point.

Welp, that actually goes to show that either: (A) I don't pay attention in class, or (B) My teacher is a liar. If I had to choose, it'd probably be B, because how are you gonna say that it's a programming language when it screams Markup in the name?

Sorry to say, but if you don't know C you're not gonna be able to bodge your way through the Google Data API and the YouTube API. HTML, or the HyperText Markup Language, is not a programming language, it's a markup language. Furthermore, in order for this to be self contained and use the API you'd have to also write a 3DS web browser within the program as well, as all the YouTube API does is make the URLs for you that you need to access and retrieve/send data to YouTube, it's still reliant on having a web browser available to it.

tl;dr Even for experienced programmers this would be a long undertaking.

If it's just for uploading a video, you don't need a web browser. Just send the data using sockets and/or web requests.

PokeMerch, I think it's great that you are so eager to work on this project. Some people may think that it's not very useful, but don't listen to them. Don't get discouraged. At the very least, doing this project will help you to learn a lot about programming. Even if this is all it accomplishes, the project will still be a success. Also, as others have said, you may want to start with a smaller simple offline project just to get used to programming 3DS homebrew. Take it one step at a time. I wish you the best of luck.

Again, that's not how the YouTube API works.

Do we really need this homebrew?

If you don't like it, you're certainly welcome to not use it. The more homebrew out there the better, IMO....although it seems like it might be a while before this really turns into anything.

Technically sockets is how any and every web API works...

The entire internet is based off socket connections, sending packets back and forth between computers. WebRequests are an abstraction layer on top of the sockets, making it easier for the programmer to communicate with network servers rather than to manually create the actual packet himself. All a web browser does is send these WebRequests back and forth to communicate to the server, execute the javascript code and display it so that there is a visual interface for the user.

Thank you for the encouragement.

You could make a browser for the o3ds that could play videos on the internet or download things from there , I think that most of the people wish that

I wish I knew how to do that, tho.

This actually IS pretty cool! I would love to see this come to glory!! My sister and me LOVE to make little videos together about political debates, game shows, drawing contests, and more!

You'd want to be doing this with the http:c system calls, but step one is going to be to figure out how to extend ctrulib to allow you to stream POST data in general. There's no way you're going to be able to pre-buffer an entire video into a ram before starting to send it, and I don't believe most of the supporting sys calls that are required have actually been implemented yet. There are _very_ few people who have actually used the POST/PUT methods at all, and none of us have needed to post large data streams as far as I'm aware.

This is /entirely/ possible, and really wouldn't be that hard for an experienced C/C++ developer since most of the heavy lifting can be done by http:C itself, but it does seem a bit ambitious for a first project
