FourthTube is a fork of ThirdTube, which had become non-functional around July 2024. The developer of FourthTube, also known for creating NexTube, collaborated with members of the ThirdTube Discord server to implement a fix, resulting in the creation of FourthTube.
ThirdTube uses a decrypter and manipulates certain JavaScript files to access YouTube's player without encountering access issues. However, this method proved to be unstable over time. In contrast, FourthTube employs a different approach by sending data that mimics the iOS YouTube app, a technique also used by tools like YT-DLP.
Features
- Video Playback up to 480p.
- Livestreams and premiere videos support.
- Searching.
- Video suggestion.
- Comments.
- Captions.
- Local watch history and channel subscription.
- No ads.
Installation
Requires 3DS (including 2DS) with Luma3DS (at least 8.1.0-0) and DSP1.
To migrate data from ThirdTube to FourthTube, rename the /3ds/ThirdTube/ folder to FourthTube. If you were using an unofficial fork of ThirdTube (such as a translation), this folder may be named differently.
