@jperez2250 You can watch any videos on facebok using a trick i found, you need to acess facebook from the "social network posting settings" on your switch

@jperez2250 big dawg think we customer support if you want to see videos go though facebook or settle for GIF's, otherwise there hasnt been any workarounds for years

@THE_ONlY_0NE theres is one way, but it only makes it possible to watch vids on facebook and the method takes quite a few steps, im not sure if its worth it but u could try it out for yourself, there was a topic about that, its called "switch discoveries volume 3" by @Luna
-
hey users i really liked this idea of having it on the swicth i can do so much but i really hate the timer on it thats the thing that sucks hope they can fix that. would be cool
-
every time i try to watch a video it says this feature is not available im just wondering why that happened. i dont know how to fix it.
@daniel-johnson hey had that problem too keep pushing the a button on the swicth it might play but their will be no sound

Hey! I just wanted to say, exiting and re-entering the browser resets the timer!
-
I think I stoped the timer on my switch. Don't know how all I know is that I was on nitendo news then whent on the web thing for a bit shut of my switch and whent back to where the timer was and it said 0:00 and it still has not kicked me off.
-
my timer stoped and it says 0:00 but I'm still on google it did not kick me off
-
@VGMoose I keep managing to bypass it, but it is random, so what happens is that I keep turning it off and then when I reopen it, it stays on for ages and I cant really predict when it is going to happen tho

In my experience, sleeping your console will pause the timer. But the total screen-on time should still be 20 minutes.
The countdown timers on SB and BDNS will keep ticking and become unsynced with the real one when this happens, but after 20 min it still closes.

@VGMoose So I think I'm onto something.
I was doing this: https://www.reddit.com/r/SwitchHacks/comments/1dggbrl/news_applet_as_a_plex_client_on_hos/And on one of my steps to develop it further, I patched a couple binaries to change the domains from *nintendo.net to a custom domain with a custom port.
Before I did that, I just had a dns rewrite with a catch-all server for *nintendo.com and *nintendo.net, with "valid" ssl certificates (real certs but self-signed, but since the switch on the post is hacked the CA verification is bypassed).
When I had this config, the browser never closed, I was actually able to stream full length movies (2~3 hrs).
After I patched the domains on the binaries, I pointed back all *nintendo.com & net to 127.0.0.1, and I was able to listen to the requests on my custom domain:port, and everything worked fine, EXCEPT this time the browser closed after a certain period of time (but I think it was less than the 20 mins mentioned here, but could be due to the news applet using a different browser)
TLDR; I think what makes the browser close, is actually based on requests to a *nintendo.net, and since I think browserdns blocks some (or all) of those, it always fail to connect to the server it is trying to, and eventually closes the browser.
I will run more tests since I do want to have the custom domains working.
PD: I think the browser on the news applet is different from the web auth, but since it had the same self-closing behaviour I thought it was worth mentioning it.
PD2: The videos are played by using hls streams (m3u8), forcing video to h264 and audio to aac, and bitrate to max 3000. It only works with that config for me, everything else results on an error. Again, don't know if the web auth browser has the same capabilities, but worth trying it.

@Chimech0 This is really interesting, thanks for sharing! Funny how well the News applet fits Plex's layout. Also useful info about which formats of video are supported.
For Videos:
For playing videos, the social applet via Google drive works alright: https://browsedns.net/topic/1905/tutorial-watching-videos-on-google-drive if not really tedious. There's no time limit on the social applet, though.The social applet has a whitelist of which domains are allowed, and they all require HTTPS and Google Sites is specifically excluded. If it were possible though to serve HTML from one of these domains, an iframe would very likely allow sites outside of the whitelist to render.
For the timeout
I have tried messing with the overridden domains (just the ctest url though), and pointing them to various hosts / slowing them down, or blocking some but not all, and it seems to always dismiss after 20 minutes of screen on time.Those logs are here: https://browsedns.net/post/3358
I also think that it has to do with the nintendo URL not being able to be hit, but the issue might be, as soon as it is hit, the applet dismisses itself and displays "successful connection". If it has to do with an HTTPS url though, we're even more out of luck without modding.
Still, it's worth trying changing an https URL to point to an invalid https cert and seeing what happens. Or on my modded switch I could try the some CA verification bypass. Probably that'w with these exefs_patches ?
