Emby password authentication, native HTTPS/TLS streaming, master-detail hierarchical changelog viewer, direct memory buffer streaming, and native PS5 IME keyboard.

Download EVOPlayer-0.7.0-InstallTile.elf to register the Media tile on the home screen, or EVOPlayer-0.7.0-player-only.elf for homebrew app slot launch.

Emby Password Authentication & Setup

  • Account Password Support: Dedicated interactive password configuration row in Emby Setup screen with virtual keyboard input and secure asterisk masking (********).
  • Robust cJSON Authentication: Server authentication payloads formatted with cJSON for compliant user session tokens against password-protected Emby and Jellyfin servers.
  • Config Persistence: Safe loading and saving of passwords in /data/evoplayer/emby.conf and USB configurations with key-value and legacy positional compatibility.

Hierarchical Changelog Viewer

  • Master-Detail Version Architecture: Replaced legacy flat cards with a clean dual-pane layout: a version selector on the left and a dedicated release notes inspector card on the right.
  • Categorized Visual Badges: Clear [NEW], [FIXED], [IMPROVED], and [REMOVED] indicator pills with accent color coding.
  • Instant Version Switching: Fluid D-pad navigation across all releases with automatic detail panel updates.

Core Subsystems & Network Engine

  • Native HTTPS & TLS Support: Integrated OpenSSL (libssl.a/libcrypto.a) with TLS 1.2/1.3 handshakes, SNI extension, and secure communication for remote HTTPS media servers.
  • Direct Memory Region Manager: High-throughput streaming buffer allocations leveraging native PS5 direct memory (dmem).
  • Native PS5 IME Keyboard Support: Seamless integration with libSceImeDialog.sprx supporting multilingual input and USB keyboards, with automatic fallback to custom virtual keyboard.
  • Media Directory Search: Interactive search modal in file browser for fast folder and item filtering.
  • Streaming Stability: Fixed custom AVIO lifecycle conflict and stabilized network streaming playback.
  • CPU SIMD Vectorized YUV Pipeline: 8-wide AVX2 SIMD workgroups for high-throughput video presentation (7.4ms per 4K frame).

Install — start here

Download EVOPlayer-0.7.0-InstallTile.elf. That is the one to run.

  1. Jailbreak the console (12.70) and start ps5-payload-elfldr.
  2. Copy EVOPlayer-0.7.0-InstallTile.elf to a USB stick.
  3. Start it from your payload manager — the on-console one, typically at http://<ps5>:8084. Anything that sends an ELF to elfldr works.
  4. It says "EVO Player ready in Media". Open EVO Player from the console's Media row.
