PS3 webMAN MOD - Web Commands

There is a web command /reloadxmb.ps3

or use /play.ps3?RELOADXMB (or the title_id that correspond to the tool)

i'm doing this, but with a RELOADXMB.ISO so the user don't need to have the PKG installed on the ps3, my mod installer is placing the iso on the hdd, so the user does not need an extra step :)

The only thing i want to know if it is possivel to combine comamnds, like /play.ps3 with /unmont

So it will launch the iso and just after it is played it either unmont it self or mont the previous game monted.

So it will not stay on the XMB monted or change the user's game monted.



But i think i will use a script with the /install.ps3 feature to install the RELOADXMB.pkg, so i't won't require a combination of commands ( that i don't think its possible without using a script)

This command never worked for me

/play.ps3?RELOADXMB

If no game is mounted, it will just act like you pressed X button

if a game is mounted it will launch it , ignoring the Title ID or Folder Path

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

#Report 1

I realized that the method i was using to load the iso is not working

/play.ps3/dev_hdd0/PROISO/RELOADXMB.iso

The same as i reported above, it needs to have one game mounted if i game is mounted it will load the RELOADXMB.iso and launch it just fine

If no game is mounted this will not work and prevents any game to be mounted.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#Report 2


install.ps3$

When accessed via PC it keeps loading.

and via the ps3 browser it just exits the browser without anything installed

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Report #3

/reloadxmb.ps3 after the pkg beeing manually installed, it only ENTERS on THE XMB ICON that is active and lauch the refresing games page

(The Enter on the xmb, isnt related to the cases above, this acts the same even with a game mounted)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Report #4

If i press like start and select a couple of times like 2 or 3 times withou the notification beeing gone, it will keep displaying forever only rebooting the console to fix,

EDIT: I just realized that it is a kind of feature, i found pressing them for a short time it beeps the ps3 and stops, if i do the same again it will beep and keeps displaying

@LuanTeles I have uploaded a new update. I has changes to the web command: /install.ps3
It's working on my side.

The web commands /reload.ps3 and /play.ps3?title_id require to have /app_home/PS3_GAME/ on category_game.xml

If you have removed them, these commands will not work as expected.

I think that modders like you and @DeViL303 will appreciate the following new web commands:
/write.ps3<path>&t=<text> creates a text file, use | (pipe character) for line break
/write_ps3<path>&t=<text> adds text to file or create a new one, use | (pipe character) for line break
/write.ps3<path>&t=<hex>&pos=<offset> patch a file with binary data (you must know the offsets)

In regards to the reloadxmb.iso, it's better that you copy the EBOOT.BIN of the reloadxmb.pkg
The file does not require to be "installed", only /dev_hdd0/game/RELOADXMB/USRDIR/EBOOT.BIN needs to exists

You are right i disabled the /app_home/PS3_GAME/

Nice ones, i will check it

Thanks aldo :)


About this one

eg:

/play.ps3/dev_hdd0/PROISO/RELOADXMB.iso

not working before any game has been mounted,

can a /mount&play.ps3 command be created?

or i'll need to make a XMB item with loads a script to mount and play the game?


because /mount.ps3/ANYGAME or clicking on a webman game on the xmb and then
/play.ps3/dev_hdd0/PROISO/RELOADXMB.iso

works just fine

/play.ps3<path-of-the-iso-or-folder> already does the "mount & play"

or you can do:
/mount.ps3<path-of-the-iso-or-folder>;/play.ps3

For reload the XMB you must try: /reloadxmb.ps3 with the pkg installed or the EBOOT.BIN copied manually

i will try this one

/mount.ps3<path-of-the-iso-or-folder>;/play.ps3


this /play.ps3<path-of-the-iso-or-folder>

this one after testing about 2 hours why it is not working, i realized that this one mounts and plays the iso or folder JUST FINE

but only if a GAME IS PREVIOUSLY MOUNTED.

if you play pkgs or just turned on the PS3 it will do nothing.


but maybe it needs the APP HOME,


I edited the previous post so many times that i think you didn't notice


That's why i asked about a combination of commands since, the mounts and after play it works, mouting and playing it in a single command, maybe with a delay it will work just fine


EDIT:

http://192.168.0.22/mount.ps3/dev_hdd0/PROISO/RELOADXMB.iso;/play.ps3


it just monted, not played

@aldostools Try this in you side

Turns the ps3 on, without any bd disc or game mounted


Use this command

/play.ps3<path-of-the-iso-or-folder>

it will do nothing.

Then you mount any game

and /play.ps3<path-of-the-iso-or-folder> again

IT WILL WORK


so


Only if a game is mounted and using /play.ps3<path-of-the-iso-or-folder> will mount and play the desired folder or iso.

other repor

/browser.ps3$screenshot_xmb/<path>

does not work with custom path

i'm using http://192.168.0.21/browser.ps3$screenshot_xmb/dev_hdd0/prints/


ALSO

http://localhost/copy_ps3/dev_hdd0/*.bmp&to=dev_usb000/screenshots/

is it right? i want to to copy all the .bmp to usb000 but it is not copying them

For COPY, tested the following URLs and they worked!

1) Copy all JPG files containing HP
http://10.0.0.8/copy.ps3/dev_hdd0/PICTURE/PICTURE/*HP*.JPG&to=/dev_hdd0/PICTURE/NEW1

2) Copy all JPG files
http://10.0.0.8/copy.ps3/dev_hdd0/PICTURE/PICTURE/*.JPG&to=/dev_hdd0/PICTURE/NEW2

To save the screenshot of XMB in a custom path you need to provide the full path, not only the folder name.
http://10.0.0.8/browser.ps3$screenshot_xmb/dev_hdd0/PICTURE/MY_CURRENT_XMB.BMP

In regards to the /play.ps3<path> I think I found the cause of your issue (it's related to the keep-alive parameter of the http header sent by the browser). The first time it worked fine for me, but the client stayed connected and webMAN refused to accept new commands.

I fixed this issue in this commit:
https://github.com/aldostools/webMAN-MOD/commit/964ed321f39fe45ce94936799dc555663b738b6f

This fix and other new features are found in:
https://github.com/aldostools/webMAN-MOD/releases

FYI @STLcardsWS see ^^ I know I should have increased the version number 2 or 3 commits ago, but it's a lot of work to update all the files that have the version and I'm still fixing / improving things.
 
Hello, how can I activate a combo button command while I'm on game (works fine on XMB)? I try them while playing TLoU, but doesn't work. Maybe I need to some extra configuration? I'm on Ferrox cobra 4.84.

Press PS then webMAN will recognize the combos.

Thanks aldo

it worked :)

Now it is mounting and playing without needing to mount a game first

I only realized that now it takes longer to mount and play, before, when a game is already mounted the /play.ps3 will do it almost instantly (3 seconds to mount and launch it) , now ( it works better, because i don't need a game to be mounted first) but it takes about 15 seconds and a delay of 5~6 between loaded and to play it.

BEFORE ( NEEDING TO HAVE MOUNTED SOMETHING BEFORE) please go to 38s


NOW ( Working really good without anything mounted before, but with a long time to mount and play)



If the delay can be reduced it will be very appreciated, if not its okay too, since it works perfectly now


About this

http://10.0.0.8/browser.ps3$screenshot_xmb/dev_hdd0/PICTURE/MY_CURRENT_XMB.BMP


i bet everytime it will be replaced right? or will it be named MY_CURRENT_XMB_(TIME AND DATE).BMP ?

If so i'll use it

About the copy.ps3

By now i'm using this way


http://192.168.0.23/copy.ps3/dev_hdd0/*screenshot*.bmp&to=/dev_usb000/SCREENSHOTS/

the problem is ( not really a problem) but IT TAKES ABOUT 15+ Minutes to complete due to scan the whole HDD, can the default path of xmb screenshots be changed to dev_hdd0/SCREENSHOTS or something like that ? (If the path does not work as i mentioned above)

This is what i use, JUST IN CASE you want to know, why i'm trying this ( usefull for xmb modders)
cYxLRBN.png
xkrilI9.png


and the first option is to copy them to hdd.



The only issue that i found in this case is

copying from the root of hdd0 to a hdd0 folder, just in case you want to know ( i'm not using it anyway)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Can i bother you again? already bothering you :P

Can a check file be add in the installer/updater, i mean witj a dummy file called category_game_off or something like that it does not install the category_game.xml

You know, many "STORES" and my mod, uses a custom category_game,xml and category_game_tool2.xml

SO I'm receiving A LOT OF BAD REPORTS, that the File manager and other folders disappeared, that can not uninstall it and install pkg files, saying that my mod can JUST BE REMOVED BY FORMATTING THE PS3 ( Yeap a lot of people did that, and ended in the same problem :P) and it is giving me a headache


So i realized that when they updates the WEBMAN , the category_game is beeing replaced, can a checker file beeing checked?

Also a variant that detects HEN and sets the SYSCON as Default fan option, people are driving me crazy saying my mod broken their PS3 because of the fan speeds and

of MULTIMAN Black Screens, setting webman to SYSCON fix it
 
Last edited:
Also there is any web command to set directly to SYSCON?

so i can add a xmb entry for it too, because even i saying for them to set the fan to sysconf most of them do not know where and how

Thanks @aldostools :)

/write_ps3<path>&t=<text> adds text to file or create a new one, use | (pipe character) for line break

Is there any way to add a text in a specific line

Like, i'm trying to make a option to customize the PS3 Leds

So it will have a menu with main option GREEN, RED, YELLOW with each having the options to OFF, ON, BLINKING SLOW AND FAST

so the user can make a combination, it will be written in my already existing boot_init.txt

So the green option will be written in e.g line 5
the red line 6
the yellow line 7

and the user can change it later and it will replace the previous line that has it options.


It can also be used in my plugin options, so the user can only choose the ones it wants, i already have a plugin option with check boxes, but it uses boot_plugins.txt swaps, this method of writting to specific lines will be much better

/write.ps3<path>&t=<text>&line=<line-number>


it kinda works

I'm using e.g Leds/Green/OFF

http://localhost/write.ps3/dev_hdd0/autoexec.bat&t=/led.ps3mapi?color=1&mode=0&line=4;/play.ps3/dev_hdd0/autoexec.bat

What i noticed

If no autoexec.bat the browser will be blank/loading eternally/freeze
if the autoxec.bat is 0 empty the browser will be blank/loading eternally/freeze

i used the command for write in the line 4. it is writting the text in the line after the blank space i left to work.

If i use it multiple time it will write in the other line instead of replacing the text.


and the /led.ps3mapi?color=1&mode=0 have no effect in the autoexec.bat ( or the blinking green led while the command is beeing executed is replacing it, if so maybe a command that disabled this in the first line of it, and the next is executed normally)

maybe a write_ps3/ to replace the whole line?

@aldostools I made a whole system to toggle diferent leds but it does not work

i'm writting the code via write.ps3/ to an autoexe.bat and playing it with play.ps3/

but it seems to now work this way

any advice?
