    VLC PS5 v0.4 Stable

    DieMitchell released this 2026-10-11 02:01:25 +02:00 | 0 commits to main since this release

    v0.4

    What's new

    • Hardware decoding: H.264 and HEVC (8 and 10-bit) now play on the PS5, up to 4K. Heavy files that stuttered before, like 4K HDR films at 70+ Mbit/s, now play smoothly with the CPU almost idle. Everything else (AV1, VP9, MPEG-2, VC-1, DVDs…) still plays as before.
    • HDR10 output: on an HDR TV, HDR10 and HLG videos now go out as real HDR.
    • HDR on an SDR TV: HDR videos are now tone mapped, with natural colours instead of the grey, washed-out (#8)
    • Dolby Vision films play as their HDR10 base layer instead of failing
    • Opus audio in MKV, WebM and MP4 now plays (#7)
    • Faster network shares (SMB): videos start sooner and high-bitrate files keep up much better

    Fixed

    • Black screen with some 4K HDR videos (#9), most often over SMB
    • Jumping (±10 s, seeking) in MP4 files didn't resume
    • The whole app froze for seconds when a stream (IPTV) was stuck and you opened something else. The next video now just starts once you leave.
    • Classic / Modern look switching by itself after a restart (with full access, VLC could pick up another copy's settings)

    Notes

    • HDR output needs HDR set to "On When Supported" or "Always On" in the PS5's Screen and Video settings, and a TV/monitor input that accepts HDR.
    • Optional switches in settings.txt in the app folder:
      • hw_decode=0: software decoding only
      • hdr_output=0: never switch the TV to HDR (tone map instead) ·
      • hdr_output=2: switch even if the PS5 doesn't report an HDR TV

    Install

    1. Extract PPSA85300.zip and copy the PPSA85300 folder to /data/homebrew/.
    2. Run kstuff and ShadowMountPlus.
    3. Start VLC from the home screen.
    4. Add your media on a USB drive, or /data/vlc/, also from your phone or pc.

    Optional full access. With etaHEN, OnionHEN or the Helper, VLC can lift its sandbox. This gives it all of /data and USB drives plugged in while it runs. download helper.elf

    VLC PS5 v0.3.1 Stable

    DieMitchell released this 2026-10-10 08:01:08 +02:00 | 9 commits to main since this release

    v0.3.1

    Fixed

    • No sound on Dolby TrueHD tracks: videos whose main track is TrueHD (common on Blu-ray rips) played silently, while their AC3 and DTS tracks worked
    • IPTV picture zooming in after a while: when a stream changed its quality or picture shape, the picture kept the old shape and couldn't be fixed. It now follows the stream
    • A memory error in IPTV and other streaming (HLS) playback that could make VLC unstable
    • No more "can't keep up" false alarms right after adding a subtitle

    Install

    1. Extract PPSA85300.zip and copy the PPSA85300 folder to /data/homebrew/.
    2. Run kstuff and ShadowMountPlus.
    3. Start VLC from the home screen.
    4. Add your media on a USB drive, or /data/vlc/, also from your phone or pc.

    VLC PS5 v0.3 Stable

    DieMitchell released this 2026-10-09 23:00:57 +02:00 | 15 commits to main since this release

    VLC PS5 v0.3

    Fixes Blu-ray menus, subtitles from anywhere, and VLC moves to the Media tab.

    What's new

    • Disc menu and Pop-up menu: in Tracks › Playback while a DVD or Blu-ray plays, to go back to the disc's menu, or open a Blu-ray's pop-up menu over the film
    • Blu-ray region: Settings › Playback › Blu-ray region (A, B or C), for discs that only play in their region. It starts from your language; change it if a disc says it can't play
    • Add any subtitle file: Tracks › Subtitles › Add a subtitle file opens Browse, so you can pick a subtitle from the media folder, a USB drive or a network share, for any video
    • Subtitles found everywhere: a subtitle next to the video with the same name (Movie.srt, Movie.en.srt, Movie - English.ass, or in a Subs folder) now loads by itself from network shares and links too, not only from USB
    • Subtitles in any language's encoding: older subtitle files saved as Chinese (GBK, Big5), Japanese, Korean, Russian, Arabic, Turkish, Polish or Western European text now show the right letters instead of garbage
    • VLC is in the Media tab of the home screen.

    Fixed

    • DLNA media servers weren't found when VLC runs without full access (no Helper): the console already uses the port DLNA listens on, and VLC gave up. It now finds servers by asking for them
    • Subtitles inside videos (SRT tracks in MKV files) and .srt files didn't show at all on the PS5. Styled .ass subtitles were never affected
    • The bottom of the picture was cut off on some videos (1024x560, 720x368 and other sizes that aren't a multiple of 16)
    • Blu-ray menus didn't react to the D-pad or ✕
    • A Blu-ray's menu could reopen the disc in fast decoding and lose your place in the menus
    • A false "can't keep up" right after resuming from pause or adding a subtitle
    • A subtitle from a network share could show up twice in Tracks when you opened the same video again
    • Adding a subtitle from a network share froze the picture for half a second

    Install

    1. Extract PPSA85300.zip and copy the PPSA85300 folder to /data/homebrew/.
    2. Run kstuff and ShadowMountPlus.
    3. Start VLC from the home screen.
    4. Add your media on a USB drive, or /data/vlc/, also from your phone or pc.

    VLC PS5 v0.2 Stable

    DieMitchell released this 2026-10-09 10:01:02 +02:00 | 15 commits to main since this release

    VLC PS5 v0.2

    What's new

    • DVDs from your network: DVD images (.iso or .img) on a PC or NAS share now play as real DVDs, with their menus, chapters, length and seeking, just like from a USB drive
    • Disc menus you can use right away: the D-pad and ✕ press the menu's buttons as soon as it shows. The touchpad brings up the player controls over a menu, and in the film ✕ pauses as usual
    • Real chapters on DVDs: the film's own chapters, with marks on the progress bar and L1 / R1 to jump between them
    • IPTV and radio channel lists: open any M3U or PLS list (from a share, a USB drive, the Playlists tab or a link you type) and pick a channel from it, with the names from the list, in the list's own order
    • Channel lists in Playlists: lists with links open as a channel list and show how many channels they have
    • Smarter HTTPS: when a server doesn't work with the console's own secure connection, VLC's takes over for that link only

    Fixed

    • A crash when a stream's server redirected it to another address
    • DVD and Blu-ray menus didn't react to the D-pad for ISOs opened from a share
    • DVD images from a share played as one long video with no length or seeking
    • M3U files on a share were hidden, and opening one showed nothing
    • Playlists with links looked empty and counted 0

    Notes

    • Blu-ray menus made with Java (BD-J), used by most commercial Blu-rays, can't be shown on the PS5: those discs skip the menu and play the movie. Simpler HDMV menus work.
    • Encrypted (CSS) DVD images aren't supported; unprotected ones and most ripped ISOs are.
    • DVDs don't store chapter names, so their chapters are called Chapter 1, Chapter 2...; Blu-rays and videos with named chapters show their names.
    • .img files that aren't DVD images (hard disk or game images) can't be played.
    • Online .m3u8 links play directly: they're live streams, not channel lists.

    Install

    1. Extract PPSA85300.zip and copy the PPSA85300 folder to /data/homebrew/.
    2. Run kstuff and ShadowMountPlus.
    3. Start VLC from the home screen.
    4. Add your media on a USB drive, or /data/vlc/, also from your phone.
