Looks good, like a French version of my mods all combined (XMBPD mostly). Are they all download and install links you've built in or are some local links to boot the apps too? I really like the extranet HTML store, I will build that pkg into XMBPD at some stage but it will have to be a modified version as both mods change the category network xml so they would overwrite each other, but with a modified xml they would be fine together.

The video store is a nice extra. Some day soon I will get that going in my region (should just require the custom xml hosted, very easy to enable it for everyone I think) and mod it but have enough things to mod for now with ps store, tv channels and whats new and xil xmls.

[MENTION=89]aldostools[/MENTION] /@all : Sorry if this is stupid question , but is there already a facility in webman that could be used to boot apps like PSN/homebrew or anything similar I could modify to do that, I mean so I could have something like "hxxp://127.0.0.1/bootapp.ps3/path to app" and then a delay to allow time for the browser to be closed and then the app boots, or something like that if you know what I mean.

This would allow us to add PSN and homebrew to the Launchpad as well as mount games incase anyone would like that feature.

No. I have tried to do that without success.... Maybe mysis, 3141card or zecoxao know how to call an application from the SPRX using one of the VSH interfaces (like gameExec in game_plugin_interface).

Even I have issues with the example in ps3devwiki to automate the PKG installation (which is a service that I would like to implement).

Ok thanks. ill have a look at the xil xmls again too, how ever the command "<target type="u">psgm:install..." gets handled via them could help . Because in the case of singstar for example, the XMB xil link downloads the app if it doesn't exist, but it launches it if it does exist, so maybe there is something there I can use.

[MENTION=89]aldostools[/MENTION] [MENTION=6]bitsbubba[/MENTION] : I FIGURED IT Simple really , swap "install" with "play":

<target type="u">psgm:play?id=DEV30303</target>

Now we can boot any installed app from within the launchpad.

And its even better than using webman as it doesn't require browser to open first so its much quicker/cleaner. Im very happy with this development.

I found this as I came across the "psgm: play" in a prx when looking for variations, then googled that to get the correct formatting and found this old xil xml from 2009 that sony is still hosting, good old sony, helping us out.

Also this came up about vita https://www.reddit.com/r/vitahacks/comments/32hqpe/enquiry_about_psgmplaytitleid_on_350/ , so same command used on vita 3.50 works on ps3...hmm, I wonder what else works.

psgm: open?..(from vita)
psvp: bgdl?..(from ps3) I like the look of "bgdl" = background download, for video.

nice discovery, after adding hdd game to my list this way when started it lists in recently played with the cover that I've picked (hosting) for it also noticed while in recently played it disappears from the list until it's cleared from recently play (little note to clear recently played: start and exit a homebrew app/game)

Ok cool, all of that is great except the fact that the game disappears from main list while in recently played but could be worse. Really I want to break recently played. I would like to remove that and our pick..

I've already remove "Our Picks" :p

 

[DeViL303]

I know, Looking forward to your update :p Build in your improvements and release as 0.13 or 0.15 if you want. I will have a few updates coming on the server end with the covers and stuff but could be a few days and I havnt done anything with the pkg since you fixed the hashes.

I figured out what you were saying about content IDs , just switched them on in webman settings so they are viewable in the Launchpad

all my updates have been on the xml side of things and icons

Edit: all edits done by hand haven't used the generator yet!

 

[DeViL303]

I see. The generator should speed things up once its fully tweaked, going to have it skip special characters or replace them, and add spacing and headers and as much info as possible to the xml, while adding the cover links too of course.

the kid's on the PS3 right now but when I get him off I'll run the generator to see what all gets done there so to better help with editing/adding

 

[DeViL303]

So..Ive figured out how to remove "our pick" , and I figured out how to add the content ID, And ive figured out how to remove the ticker and the dates. All going good. Got a good layout for the auto generated xml I think. Should have a release of some description ready in a few days. Got a little delayed.

Working on a few cosmetic things and testing.

dammit sorry about not sending you my xml with those already done been preoccupied, busy, tired, etc... (family, job, etc..)

 

[DeViL303]

No worries, it was simple really anyway, I just hadn't got to looking. I had hoped to use the date as the release date of the game after pulling it from some database, still might. edit: I will be removing the date for now though..

 

[bitsbubba]

and be using a future date in the xml for all games.

future date? is that how you got rid of the date?

 

[DeViL303]

future date? is that how you got rid of the date?

No I got mixed up there, that is something I was doing earlier on today. It is one way to keep the games "new" so they all show when scrolling, otherwise it will only show top 3 if the date is like more than a week old and I was trying to come up with a way to keep them "new" all the time. So I was setting date to a future date on games, and passed date on functions, so they wouldn't show when scrolling, I do prefer it like that really. But for now removing the date completely will do so all games/functions are "old". I can probably stop the date from showing by modding the sprx too so will look there next.

The reason I like the idea of ALL games scrolling up by themselves is if you couldn't think of what you wanted to play, you could just leave it scroll away until something pops out, so it might lead to people playing games they had forgotten about, and its a good way to show off your game collection with a nice smooth animation and no interaction needed.

I set all dates to 000-00-00 which removes the date fine & to get them all to scroll up I put a placeholder at the bottom with date set to 9999-99-99

 

[DeViL303]

ok, that's a great way to do it with the placeholder at the bottom. and I had just deleted the date entry to get rid of it, works too and makes the xml smaller.
