Running Glint on the console

The payload is loaded through Payload Manager on a jailbroken PS5. The console exposes three services the examples below use:

ftpsrv on :2121 (anonymous, no login).
Payload Manager on :8084, with the X-PLDMGR-Request: 1 header.
elfldr on :9021 (not used here, included for context).

Set PS5 to the console's IP so the examples copy and paste cleanly:

export PS5=192.168.1.10          # replace with your console's IP

Tested on: PS5 firmware 0x12600006. Other firmware versions in the same family should work; docs/CAPTURE-INTERNALS.md lists the SCE error codes the payload handles explicitly.

1. Build

cd payload/ps5
PS5_PAYLOAD_SDK=/root/ps5-payload-sdk make

Both land in payload/build/:

glint-payload.elf — console capture (the PS5's own H.264 encoder)
glint-payload-test.elf — synthetic capture, for the protocol test

2. Upload

Give Glint its own folder under the Payload Manager tree, and do not write over any other payload's folder:

curl -s --ftp-create-dirs -T payload/build/glint-payload.elf \
  ftp://$PS5:2121/data/pldmgr/payloads/local/glint/Glint-1.0-ps5.elf

Payload Manager only accepts files under its payload tree and a name shaped like Name-version-ps5.elf.

After uploading, read the file back and compare the hash before loading — an upload interrupted by the console sleeping can leave a truncated file:

curl -s ftp://$PS5:2121/data/pldmgr/payloads/local/glint/Glint-1.0-ps5.elf -o check.elf
sha256sum payload/build/glint-payload.elf check.elf

3. Load

curl -s -X POST -H "X-PLDMGR-Request: 1" \
  "http://$PS5:8084/loadpayload:/data/pldmgr/payloads/local/glint/Glint-1.0-ps5.elf"

The payload shows a banner on the console: "Glint loaded", then "Glint ready on port 7231" once capture starts. If the encoder is busy it shows "the PS5 refused to start video capture (0x80c78000)" — wait a minute and load it again.

4. Validate

node tests/payload_smoke.js http://$PS5:7231

or record with the app's probe (built from app/tools/probe.cpp):

probe.exe http://$PS5:7231 --record out.h264 --audio out.pcm --seconds 5

Expected: config PS5, resolutions [1080], pcm_f32le stereo 48 kHz; out.h264 starts with 00 00 00 01; out.pcm is non-empty.

5. Logs

curl -s ftp://$PS5:2121/data/glint/capture.log | tail -40
curl -s ftp://$PS5:2121/data/glint/recordings/

6. Stop

curl -s -X POST http://$PS5:7231/stop

Only this. Killing the process with process_kill mid-capture can lock the console's encoder (Start 0x80c78000) until a reboot.

Notes

glint-payload-test.elf is built with SL_TEST_CAPTURE: its H.264 is a synthetic stream for protocol testing, not a real picture.
Recordings are written to /data/glint/recordings and can be removed over FTP with -Q "DELE /data/glint/recordings/<name>".
