Hacking Homebrew Youtube(tm) vids on the PSP(tm)

Quoted from: http://forums.qj.net/f-psp-flash-player-di...ifi-117293.html

I came across a link

http://blog.livedoor.jp/gai_jin/archives/50937536.html

It seem like a Japanese coder by the name of SofiyaCat. made a homebrew, that allows you to play Youtube videos without having to convert or host the files using your computer.

I don't understand any Japanese, so I cant read the instructions or find how to download it. I made this threat to see if anyone can be nice enough to explain to us how to work this Homebrew.

on the looks of it its in Alpha state, but if anyone can help, I, and many other psp users out there will be very grateful.

btw..since youtube uses flash, I thought this was the right place to make the thread, if this is the wrong place, tell me ASAP so I can move it. TY


UPDATE!

I Send him a message from a Youtube video he had, and he gave me the link to the files,

http://nekomimi.cafe.coocan.jp/wiki/?%CA%AA%C3%D6#a24210f3

the latest version is the PSPTube20070805.zip

ALSO, you need a Developer ID, and put it on the psptube.cfg.....

SECOND UPDATE!!!
this is NOT an FLV PLAYER, it will actually play videos from YOUTUBE! (just to make it clear)

here are the instructions:
-download the PSPTube20070805.zip on the link provided
-If you are in CFW look in the zip for a folder named over 200
- drag the "psptube" to the GAME folder in your CFW (BTW im currently on 3.51 M33)
- open the psptube folder and edit the "psptube.cfg" file ( using notepad)
- look for the line    dev_id = "" inside the parenthesis if you have a Youtube developer accnt. type the username there.
-save it and start youtubing

-I add more info lattter as we gather more info TNX FOR EVERYONE THATS HELPING RIGHT NOW AS I TYPE!

UPDATE 3
if you need help with the .cfg file, FranzH uploaded his .cfg with all the settings, just replace it with the your current cfg file. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=Z6IQGUE0
thanx FranzH!!

HOW TO MAKE A DEVELOPERS ACCOUNT!

first, go here http://www.youtube.com/dev
-on the right side of the page click "Developer Profile"
-put your info
-your done! now go back to your Youtube account and click on your "Developer Profile" and you can see your Developer ID (right in top of "Purpose for Using APIs")
-the ID should look like a bunch of numbers and letter

APPLICATION CONTROL
X -to type and search for youtube videos
0 -selects video
R-L -Displays next/previous page
Start = pause
Select = screen size
X = brings u back to video listings(thanx jason_r90)
[NOTE!: when you want to input a search, it inverts "X" is select and "O" is cancel, unless you changed the button configuration in the Recovery menu]

(if anyone encounter new controls PM me or post it and ill see it

)

NEWS
He has a video of the application working, its been up for like 2 months!

If you are going to PM him via youtube, take note that he doesn't understand English that well. goes by the name of SofiyaCat.

Tips:for people that have successfully search for a video but dont get any videos working...test if your internet is working using the web browser.If the connection is working, then look carefully at the button configuration..it can be a little confusing since it switches from X to O....one more thing...if you keep getting a message "canceling" when trying to connect to a newtork..try pressing O instead of X.

(if you got anytips that you think might be important PM and I will post them)

YES, it works. It seems it dosen't work well with people with WEP.
Read "UPDATE 3" if you are too lazy

huh... Neato! Sadly, there is no porn on youtube

I guess I can watch those neat Japanese commercials where there are girls jumping around for 3 minutes and then they display the company logo and product at the end.

I though the PSP browser had flash? :/

 

[[M]artin]

PSP Browser does have flash but it's pretty much useless as it doesn't run on most of the newer sites that use it (ie Youtube).

I have this on my PSP and it works great! (I have WEP encryption on my wireless connection, btw. Don't know what those reports are about...)
