ThirdTube is a work-in-progress homebrew YouTube client for the New Nintendo 3DS. The project is inspired by NewPipe, it accesses the mobile version of YouTube, parses the important part of the downloaded html and plays the stream using the fast decoder taken from Video player for 3DS by Core-2-Extreme.
It does not run any javascripts or render html/css, so it’s significantly faster than YouTube on the browser. The name is derived from the fact that it is the third YouTube client on 3DS, following the official YouTube app (discontinued) and the new 3DS browser.
Note: This application is still in the alpha stage, you may encounter crashes and other bugs. If you find one of those, it would be helpful to open an issue on the GitHub repository.
