I discovered that, whatever media app that is installed...

OrbisAFR: Orbis PS4 Application File Redirector by TheoryWrong
Proceeding the PS4 Homebrew WIP this weekend PlayStation 4 developer @theorywrong released OrbisAFR on Twitter which is an Orbis PS4 Application File Redirector payload (OrbisAFR.bin) used to edit game files by modders... eventually leading to some new and exciting PS4 game mods! 
Download: OrbisAFR-master.zip / Mirror / GIT
According to @CelesteBlue via Twitter, this is basically the PS4 equivalent of RePatch (GIT / Fork / Latest Alpha) for PS Vita consoles.
To quote from the README.md: OrbisAFR
Orbis (PS4) Application File Redirector
OrbisAFR is a payload for edit in-game file easily. Add Skyrim mods, Minecraft texture or any other things without re-buid PKG !
The principle is simple, all new (or replace) data is stocked in /data
Example
For example, i want to edit the intro of Black Ops 3 The introduction is here:
I have just to upload a new .mkv in
Now if OrbisAFP is loaded, the .mkv was loaded from /data and not /mnt/sandbox/... !
All file added in /data/CUSA02624/ is like file in /mnt/sandbox/CUSA02624_000/

PlayStationSharp: A C Library for the PlayStation API by Tustin
Following his PSN API PHP Wrapper updates and the recent PSN API Python Wrapper, PlayStation 4 developer @Tustin shared a C# library he's been working on called PlayStationSharp for the PlayStation API with other devs and those seeking to learn today. 
According to a recent tweet on his Twitter, to quote: "PlayStationSharp now also has support for changing profile background image and color. I also included some examples in the test app that let's you change both."
Download: PlayStationSharp-master.zip / GIT / PlayStationSharp (Latest Release) / GIT fork by grill2010
And from the README.md: PlayStationSharp
A C# library for the PlayStation API.
Usage
Notice: The PlayStation.TestApp project provides a more real life application of this library. You can use that as a reference if you so choose.
Due to changes to Sony's login system, you can no longer login with a username and password directly. Instead, this library utilizes their own login form and displays that to the user in a new form when called. This is how you can login using this library.

Adding a Mobile Phone to PS4 / PSN Account Video Guides
While we've covered the PS4 2-Step Verification quite some time ago, today Sony rolled out two video guides on adding a mobile phone to your PSN account both from the PS4 and from a Web browser for increased security (unless someone does a 2FA Bypass, SIM swap, SMS intercept without getting caught, exploit SIM Card flaws via SimJacker or simply remote desktop into telecom companies 
) and recovering your password should you ever need to.
Also below is a video from Sony on Software Engineering as part of their PlayStation Careers campaign for those considering a career in the field... it wouldn't be the first time someone got a job at $ony and then shared a bunch of 'insider goodies' with the scene despite signing their NDA papers.
