Technical Discussion

A friend @prodtest1 (Not in this forum) worked on a patch for fixing MK8 YouTube Uploads.

As you can see, instead of redirecting to the login screen of the outdated original Google client, it redirects to another one of a custom client ( a test one i did from the Google API dashboard ) therefore showing that memory patches can patch the Miiverse Post App to allow YouTube upload to work again.

Theorically these memory patches could then be ported on Inkay and finally fix YouTube upload for all people that want to use it, it would be up to Pretendo to create the API app from Google and then set up its ID to the memory patch so it works like shown in here.

I was not sure if Pretendo already found a solution for it, but i really wanted them to bring it back, it was a feature ive always wanted to use.

I am not sure if i can just, share the source code of the plugin, if im allowed i can share and hopefully the team dedicated to Inkay can mess with it and change the ID for Pretendos one…

Rare that a post actually fits into Technical Discussion but I think this does so I’m moving this into that category

I don’t think this is supported at the moment but I could be wrong

It does work for people that linked their Google account to the original Wii U Upload client before it stopped working, and i think the Juxt UI just doesnt show the video but the post attached to it does get sent.

I think its more of an “it works if you used it before” situation, when i first got Juxt on 2022 i remember seeing the error and being confused at it, it really just was an error that my Google account had never linked to the Upload app before and it gave me an error of it being outdated or smth

Hopefully what this plugin does is allow for a new client ID from Google to be patched in the Post App so instead of communicating with the original and outdated Upload App, it communicates with a new one, and should work

So it really depends on Pretendo to set up an Google OAuth app for this with all the YouTube v3 API, put the client id on the patch and if it works, port the patch to Inkay, again, depends on them if they want to spend time in that, but i really hope they do, the YouTube upload feature is used by a few titles, and its something i really wish was brought back, and hopefully it can now…

Update: i made someone else w a proxy set up try a new version of this patch, and even tho the endpoint the Wii U requests:

https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/token

With all the correct fields after succesfully allowing the app to continue, even returning the JSON with the token, for some weird reason, error 125-0001 is triggered, before this another error was triggered relating not being able to sign in, which was fixed, but now its just this weird 125-0001 error, which shouldnt happen since again, the Google OAuth endpoint did respond correctly with the expected JSON response, hmmm…
