Downloading pkg files directly to internal hdd from XMB

my xai_plugin accidently unlinks the file before installpkg is actually finished thus it errors before as the file is deleted way to early...sorry for that.

No worries, im sure it works good, just need to add a delay. So would it be possible to open the code up so we could call the function to download/install from the xmb xmls?

Thanks. Yes , I think your right, some flag or the content type etc. what I find interesting about this is you could have 2 options inside my downloader, links for installing pkg automatically, or links for downloading pkg to save as a bubble for later. (if you had 2 versions of each package made)

I also noticed when I tried to get the content ID of the cobra launcher using TrueAncestor PKG Repacker info option it could only display a small amount of info on it compared to other pkgs.

Mind if I help test this for NTSC users. I have a teensy!+ perma installed so no worries there and I ha e a CECH-2501A as well as my CECHB-01 but I'd not I understand your

Well you can help me test for sure, that's great, can you check your pm, I never got that link properly or im missing something.

For the record I wont be including any links to PSP/PS3 content in this Mod. Its just for Hombrew really.

Nothing to be sorry about, it happens. ☺
In fact this is good news, it confirms what I thought. There's nothing wrong with the code.

Sure we might not be able to use xai_plugin to download/install whatever we want yet, however it's possible to make this happen by using either a modified xai_plugin or another custom plugin.

Yep, thats the weird thing, i think what happens in by using your method is after downloaded the firmware makes a check at some "info" contained in it and decides what to do with it.... a direct-install (the function from "install package files") or a pre-install (with a bubble)
PKG files - PS3 Developer wiki

This check doesnt happens when you make a install from standard "install package files"

It could be simply a check to the "content type" (so all PSP games should do the same)... or maybe is something not known yet (there are some flags and stuff used inside PKG that is unknown yet)
So... you can try to do the same test with any other PSP PKG and see what happens


*The original PSP launcher made by cobra team maybe was created with some special tools
*But later was modifyed and repackaged by habib and others and i guess they used "standard" tools

Just realised the PSP Remaster launcher says "This content can be used if you renew the licence in the ps store" if installed this way. other apps are fine :) weird!

[MENTION=7]atreyu187[/MENTION] sent you some files to test. let us know if you've any luck. thanks.

EDIT: actually those files wont work, working on new ones, will let you know.

that pkg requires a rap to activate
 
I can confirm the xil method works for the US region with a small change, I used the music xil file instead but it doesn't matter, still works the same for the end user, also I moved the Homebrew Downloader to the network category for now due to problems with modding the game category on rebug 4.78.1 debug XMB. Its better in the network category as everyones will be the same pretty much so less complications.

[MENTION=6]bitsbubba[/MENTION] pm sent. :)

[MENTION=7]atreyu187[/MENTION] sent you a better set of files, I don't think the first set will work for you. should be working for you now with those afaik.

I Just realised that using the different xil files I could make at least 4 different categories of pkg download within the mod, handy.

So for example I could have a section for 3.55 homebrew, and a section for 4.xx homebrew, or it could be separated by genre, emulators, managers etc.

Ok, thanks. I havnt added an icon properly so the spinning icon on main xmb is normal but not whats inside. Did you have different folder names inside the c folder, I mean the ones that look like 63589565366634981? if yours were different did you try replace the xml file in your first folder with the one from my first folder?

I think I will need to see a few more region's xmls as yours seem to be different to [MENTION=7]atreyu187[/MENTION]'s , I thought ye were both in the same region, id say that's why its not working.

That's great! :) Means there isn't any difference in the xml .I think maybe the ps3 makes up random names for the folders or something.

Ive sorted the missing title and icon now.

Now just need to figure out what homebrew to add. I think 40 pkgs is good amount for a first edition? Any suggestions and links appreciated (I will be uploading to my own host)

did it have anything to do with the 3 category_network xmls?

Could be, there is something strange about rebug 4.78, I think its the same reason that XMBM+ was left out of debug menu, and ive had strange behaviour with webman icon not showing when its enabled too.

Anyway in this case I created a new xml to handle the Homebrew Downloader and linked to it from network xml and everything is ok since. pm sent

new xml goes in dev flash xmb folder.
