Homebrew RELEASE sys-screenuploader: a handy screen capture extractor

[bakatrouble]

I've got fed up with ugly screen photos and using Twitter or SD card to move captures to my PC, so I've finally hacked my Switch and wrote this sysmodule.
Basically, it's monitoring Nintendo/Album directory on your SD card for new screenshots/captures and then sends them to a server via HTTP, which in its turn can upload them to various destinations.

See https://screenuploader.bakatrouble.me/ for instructions
Available upload destinations:

• Telegram
• Discord

Well, that happened faster than I thought.

Holy shit that's nice! Can you please enable HTTPS on your site? Thanks
FYI: You can include the Kosmos Toolbox stuff in a "toolbox.json" in the same folder as the module (next to the exefs.nsp)

Neat app really fasten the uploading process, I believe I found a bug, if you take a clip the sysmodule no longer works until you reload atmosphere

The problem is I wasn't able to make chunked uploading work with curl (as loading whole up to 30M files to memory of a sysmodule feels wrong) and I opted into using raw sockets to manually construct an HTTP reqeust. I will try again, but no guarantee there. HTTPS using curl takes more memory as well, even loading a simple HTML page while experimenting required me to increase initial allocated memory size.
Thanks for a hint about toolbox.json!
Does stock Atmosphere look for sysmodules in /atmosphere/contents or jsut /atmosphere/titles?

I think it just takes more time, did you try to wait longer? The sysmodule is singlethreaded, so it won't continue operating until upload isn't finished.


Also at first I've been trying to capture some kind of system event for screenshots/captures, but wasn't able to find any such option, so I decided to monitor a directory for new files. If these events exist, any hint will be appreciated.

stock Atmosphere

Kosmos is still stock Atmosphère. Atmosphère always looks for "contents" since v0.10.0

Thanks, updated the module. I've also managed to make libcurl work, so both website and sysmodule work over HTTPS now.

I’m super sure that the module just stop working if you take a clip, I’ve waited long enough, once I reload atmosphere it starts working again, normally screenshots appear on telegram within 1 minute.

Also, it does upload clips?

 

[Brawl345]

Uploading videos and screenshots works fine for me at least.

It does
Takes literally 3 seconds for screenshots for me
Maybe connection issues?

 

[cucholix]

Alright the clips are working for me it just take like 7 minutes to appear on telegram

 

[Brawl345]

like 7 minutes

How's your upload speed? I have like 12 Mbps

10Mbps

10Mbps

I see you live in Chile? The server seems to be in France, this might be the reason why it takes so long to upload for you.

It is.

10Mbps

You may try running your own server: https://github.com/bakatrouble/sys-...234eb940d5024aff7bd2ea8b1b8cea39691eda/server
Use latest release of the sysmodule, uncomment "url" option in the config and change its value to "http://ipaddress:8000/"

http://ipaddress:8000 <- “ipaddress” is my switch static ip?

No, IP of machine the server is running on
