PS4 Media Player 3.50 (VR) Patched for 5.05 / 5.07 by PS4Miner

Posting this at ps4miner's request: This is a patched version of official PS4 Media Player 3.50 (VR supported) so it can play music and video on non PSN-activated console.

Will work only on 5.05/5.07 FW because it includes a kexec part with hardcoded offsets (sorry <5.05 guys, my bad).

Running on other than supported FW will make console to reboot.

Also do not forget to turn On MPEG-2 switch at "Debug Setting -> License Activation". Player is checking for it.

It's not the best variant of fixing this app, but it works for now (as a temporary solution).

Basically patch does two things:

1. It escalates privileges for the mplayer's process, so it can freely access the stuff it wants.
   • *sonyCred = 0xffffffffffffffff; // sceSblACMgrIsSystemUcred
   • *sceProcType = 0x3801000000000013; // sceSblACMgrGetDeviceAccessType
   • I'm not sure if both patches are necessary. Probably second one is enough, too lazy to check.
2. It patches SceMusicCoreServer process in memory.
   • Function at SceMusicCoreServer+0x3640 will now always <return 0>.

5.07 FW is unchecked but it almost certainly working (at least video should).

It looks like official packages somehow got more privileges than fpkgs so some applications are failing to work properly.
Probably a whitelist (which is coming from PSN on activation) or fpkgs lack of some sort of marker. More research is needed.

I wanted only this particular application to work, now my work is done. I hope you enjoy it

i found solution. after installing media player - turn off and turn on console.
i don't know why but it doesn't work straight after .pkg install

as dlna option i recommend "Universal Media Server". with transcoding it's possible to play non friendly to media player files. if ps4 can't see UMS - whitelist 5001 port

 

[Rayker]

don't get it... you have usb to TV... plug and play...

alazif just want say thank you for github and media player if you know more things make them avaible, there is nothing more than transparency. humankind have rights to know the true. 5.07 avi dont work. mp4 works.

 

[damo31k]

thanks again is there anyway to save movie files to the system storage and play straight from media player

I installed it and it works as expected. I tried several mp4 and mkv formats and everything works. You have to read the requirements of the video files that Media Player supports. Very much every BD Rip comes with DTS and that’s a Format Media Player doesn’t support. Look for AAC or AC-3 Audio Codec.

I’ve also tested with VR and here are my findings:

-You can watch a Movie in 2D in Cinematic Mode like you are in front of a cinema screen without a problem.
-3D BD Rips don’t work. If you want to watch a 3D movie in Cinematic Mode over VR, you have to have a Original 3D Blu-ray. That works.
-Ive tried 360° mp4 videos. I’ve downloaded the videos throug a YouTube to mp4 converter but when I play the videos, it just gives me nonsense crap pictures and no 360° experience.

Only thing that would help here, would be getting Littlestar app somehow working for 5.05.

 

[Nebro]

subtitles works ?

 

[grecomafioso]

Hard coded subtitles yes.

 

[Octodog]

Thank you! Next week I can try something with the VR.

 

[Megalodonus]

Installed it this morning, works the same as the normal version. thanks to the developer. Wish there was a better media codec support from the get go. SONY!!!!!!

 

[nihilnigritude]

Any solution for play HEVC videos?
