Homebrew pPlay: ps4 movie player

[cpasjuste]

Hi guys,

I just released my humble mpv/ffmpeg "pPlay" video player for the PS4. There's probably little bugs around but overall it work fine

You'll find download links in the release page on GitHub. While it need to be updated for ps4, be sure to read the readme here.

Finally, I'm not sure if this is allowed so feel free to delete this message but im seeking for donations to buy (or get) a ps5 and start digging/developing on it. If you can help with this PM me or donate here !

To be transparent, here is the current donation status (goal: 500€ !). Please put a message in the donation form or pm me if you don't want your name here! Many thanks to the donors, this money will be well spent in ps5 development. Also, i'm not used to this but maybe i should open something like "this" for even more transparency ?

• @alessaro : 10€

Yep! Most 4k videos will lag thought as we are using software decoder.

I have tried only with 1080p H265/HEVC and it works like a charm! May I ask you what to do with the subfont.ttf file that's inside the release zip?

Hi,

If you want subtitles to work you need to put this file on your hdd ("/data/pplay/mpv/subfont.ttf").

Hi, here is the update: https://github.com/Cpasjuste/pplay/releases/tag/v3.7

Hi, i'm sorry but i did release a new version again... I will be away from home for the next few days and i think it's a major fix, here we go: pPlay 3.8

• ps4: correctly fix some clock/sync problems (previous "fix" was running all videos at 60 fps, they now correctly sync at video fps as on other platforms)

Do I need to convert videos to play them on pplay PS4?

I use an Android TV box to watch my series and movies via USB, but I'll give this a shot.

Thanks.
