Oh devs can easily start doing it they just noto3ds has no decent hardware accelerated video decoding ability. The n3ds has some, but I'm not sure how much devs understand it currently.
I think its a little different. The videos are encoded into JPGV format directly.That just uses the MJPEG AVI format the 3DS can play in the camera app as a JPGV CIA player.
Oh yeah, forgot the 3DS supports 3D. The 10min limit I could deal with but the 20fps limit makes videos look too choppy to me.It would be easier to just patch out the 10 minute limit from the camera app. Hell I even made a seperate version I modified to install to NAND and even managed to patch the .code so it looked in different directories so one wouldn't have to dump their videos in with their other stuff in the original DCIM folder. I had mine looking in the "MCIM" folder instead.
Couldn't get anyone to look into REing it and finding out how to fix the 10 minute limit. I doubt it's a hardware limitation. It's just bone headed software design by Nintendo.
There's SunShell and the video channel maker. But they don't support playing movies in 3D which is really the thing people are waiting for. The 3DS has a neat glasses free 3D viewing method and would be great to watch 3D movies on...But nope. Nintendo c*ck blocked us and limited us to 2D YouTube and Netflix. Sure the n3DS has 3D support in YouTube (not sure about Netflix. Did they ever update the Netflix app for 3D support on the n3DS?)_. But that's not the same. A Plex app would be awesome. I know you can use it with the browser, but it's not a convenient.
I loved moonshell for music and comics, but can't say I enjoyed it for video.Remember moonshell? That could barely push 24FPS and I found that an enjoyable experience. I'm perfectly fine being limited to 20FPS if the 3D works.
I think the camera app still runs in o3DS mode on n3DS. I bet that could be run with n3DS clock speeds to allow better frame rates. (though frame rate limit is probably hardcoded, so you'd have to patch that out too)
I think its a little different. The videos are encoded into JPGV format directly.
hmm so you mean to tell me that his apps that play JPGVs are basically like the Nintendo Photos app without the time restriction?JPGV is just MJPEG AVI they both the exact same format. Except JPGV has headers in it so media players cannot player and also it doesnt contain the audio.
Both are MJPEG with PCM audio
his CIA converter uses OGG now (though it didnt originally it was the LQ setting derp)
JPGV Audio and Vide both get merged in the CIA making.
Btw if you look at how the JPGV encoder works it doesnt do a DIRECT conversion.
It extracts every single frame of the video into the Stuffs/Temp folder (strangely enough rotated 90 degrees) they are also resized t. So easily 10k+ jpgs
While it does this it converts the resolution to 400x240
His video encoder doesnt even handle stuff like bitrates etc or different passes. It only does Qscale.
Btw the downside of his JPGV converter is also the fact media players cannot play it and it will only convert directly to cia.
If he just made it convert to MJPEG avi which is the same. People could then play the files in their media players to Test the quality of the output, instead of waiting to isntall it on 3DS to hit and miss.

Also, I'm not talking about his converter, i'm talking about the jpgv format.
There is one alternate conv to convert to jpgv files 'jpgvthon', you can find it here on the forum.
Moonshell was at a time where the most popular mp3 player was the iPod which was incredibly expensive. Video player on the go was also something not many people had. So if you had a DS + Flash cart, moonshell was really good.Remember moonshell? That could barely push 24FPS and I found that an enjoyable experience. I'm perfectly fine being limited to 20FPS if the 3D works.

That just uses the MJPEG AVI format the 3DS can play in the camera app as a JPGV CIA player.
Downside is even though they are both the same file type that homebew cant play videos at native speed on OLD3DS yet it can do it via the camera APP only downside is 10min limit
Also its funny because its based on LPP3DS whic is based off the PSP version which has MP4 Libs
Oh devs can easily start doing it they just not

I wouldn't say no one. I don't care about it but there seems to be some people in this thread that do, a couple of them being talented coders.Now everyone has a smartphone so no one really cares about a 3DS video player.
Well if someone wants to do it, be my guest. I just don't see a reason why you'd want to as smartphones are very common and a lot easier to use for videos. Also even if someone makes a 3DS video player, it won't look as good as on a smartphone.I wouldn't say no one. I don't care about it but there seems to be some people in this thread that do, a couple of them being talented coders.
@Rinnegatamante since jpgv is the container, what is the encoder? Just curious.
