SponsorBlock Installer · PS4 app artwork

SponsorBlock Installer · PS4

v1.0.0 · PKG

On-console installer for the author’s YouTube ad-skip and SponsorBlock GoldHEN plugin. It downloads and installs the plugin after an explicit launch.

Installation & requirements

Install the ready PKG through your supported PS4 package installer. Launch Install Sponsorblock from the PS4 home menu and review its prompts. The installer downloads the plugin into /data/GoldHEN/plugins/ and updates plugins.ini; it is not a browser launch command.

Itemzflow Game Manager · PS4 app artwork

Itemzflow Game Manager · PS4

Open-source PS4 home-menu alternative and installed-game manager. The publisher’s GitHub release directs downloads to this PKG-Zone package.

PS4 package 1.08; store label 5.05+ excluding 6.72. Release notes add FUSE support for 12.50, 12.52, 13.00 and 13.02; this is not a guarantee for every function or firmware.

Install the PS4 1.08 package with your existing compatible package installer and launch Itemzflow from the home screen. Use the PS4 package and follow its storage and game-management documentation. The project installs its cooperating daemon on first launch.

Installation & requirements

Install the publisher PS4 package with your supported package installer and launch PS4-Xplorer from the console home menu. Use the app’s actual mounted paths and firmware-supported access mode. No browser app-launch protocol is provided.

OrbisShelf · PS4 app artwork

OrbisShelf · PS4

v0.2.0 · PKG

Small homebrew catalogue, downloader and local PKG installer. Version 0.2.0 is the publisher’s stability test build and retains downloaded packages after installation.

PS4 PKG for an existing homebrew-enabled console. Publisher reports that runtime behavior still needs target-console testing; no firmware test matrix is supplied. No PS5-native compatibility is claimed.

Installation & requirements

Install the PKG through your supported PS4 package installer, then launch OrbisShelf. The initial catalogue is empty: add only your own or authorized homebrew with size/hash metadata. Select with D-pad and Cross; Triangle refreshes the catalogue and Circle exits when no job runs. Downloads are staged in /data/OrbisShelf/downloads. Unlike the older README flow, v0.2.0 keeps the downloaded PKG after install; its stage log is /data/OrbisShelf/install_stage.txt.

pPlay · PS4 media player app artwork

pPlay · PS4 media player

v3.8 · ZIP app bundle

Media player with subtitle support and HTTP/FTP streaming. Complete original PS4 release ZIP contains its installable PKG and required subtitle font data. Version 3.8 fixes PS4 playback clock/synchronization.

PS4 release bundle; install in an already compatible homebrew environment. The pinned release supplies no firmware matrix. Nintendo Switch controls and CPU-clock advice in the shared README do not apply to PS4.

Installation & requirements

Download the complete ZIP and extract it on your computer. Inside pplay/, install IV0001-PPLA00001_00-PPLA000013080000.pkg with your PS4 package installer. Copy the included data/pplay/ tree to /data/pplay/ on the console, retaining mpv/subfont.ttf. The PKG by itself omits this companion font. Use your own media; network streaming requires a reachable HTTP directory listing or FTP server configured in pplay.cfg. No browser link launches the app.
