You're not normal hahaha.
First you want to hack miiverse to troll little kids and now this.
Trust me, I've been trying to figure out how to hack Miiverse since I got my Wii U 2 years ago.
The only reason as to why the tool didn't come out before now is because I didn't have a 3DS with kernel access.

No it works just fine on my emuNAND . Yup its only installed on emuNand 9.2 and same sysnand 9.2 and old3ds. Maybe you all are using the N3ds?

Video Channels Creator v.1.0
by Rinnegatamante

Description
Video Channels Creator is a Windows-only (for now) PC program which will make you to create your own CIA videos easily and comfortable.
It supports any video format thanks to ffmpeg decoder and can handle correctly a large amount of videos.
Player is not tested on O3DS, it will probably have lower framerate, but on N3DS it runs pretty good with anime videos and similars (23-27 fps) and probably also with normal videos (30 fps).

How does it work?
Basically, Video Channels Creator will produce an homebrew running lpp-3ds core which will load a video encoded as JPGV video from romfs. This will allows to store the video inside the CIA file and so it allows users to have infinite custom videos on Home Menu.

Video Preview
A little video preview can be found here: http://rinnegatamante.it/custom_cia.mp4

Usage Instructions
1) Download the homebrew and extract it in a folder.
2) Open files folder and place here a video file named as video.mp4 (it can be also another format but it should be renamed as video.mp4).
3) (Optional) Replace icon.png, banner.png and audio.wav with your own files (Wav files must be 3 seconds or less).
4) Start build.bat script and follow screen instructions
5) Profit!

Tips & Warnings
- Unique_ID allowed range is 0x0 to 0xFFFFFF.
- Cinema Mode will reduce battery usage (due to screen backlight power-off for bottom screen).
- Cinema Mode will slightly boost framerate (due to bottom screen rendering disabling).
- You found a bug or you have suggestions to improve the tool? Just make a reply to this thread explaining your report!

Thank you sooooooooooooo freaking much :). I am a big fan of your work . Thanks so much for all your contributions!!!
Also is there any limit for the video in either size or length? And it runs pretty nicely on old3ds (cant tell the framerate but its more than just usable).Are you planning on sleep mode?(don't really care)If you could add seeking (so we can skip to any part)plz.And again thank you so much!!!
(Im using-
Old3ds
Sys 9.2
Rxtools emu 9.2
Fbi to install.)

Nope, this tool is never useful on a x86 computer.
JPGV is a terrible format for video,I think there is some ffmpeg port for 3DS, but it was stopped developing.

"An error happened. Please hold POWER button to turn down off 3DS". I've tried with a few videos and I always get this error trying to open the application. N3DS running Reinand 10.5

During CIA creation do you note some errors in the cmd opened by the batch script?
Also what's the Unique ID you're using for the CIA?

Well now you have my attention, and yet my sorry for what I said in the ideas post. Do you think someday we'll be able to play 3D videos with this?
 
@Rinnegatamante Simply Amazing. Great job works very well on old 3ds

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Dosent exit after video has played had to hard reset.edit does after leaving for a bit. And only works on old 3ds not new3ds with the same cia and same cfw
