A full Python implementation based on the Node.js package, ps4-waker, which is an unofficial API for the PS4 2nd Screen App.
This module is mainly targeted towards developers although the module does include a basic CLI.
Disclaimer: This project/module and I are not affiliated with or endorsed by Sony Interactive Entertainment LLC. As such this project may break at any time.
This module can perform almost every feature found in the PS4 Second Screen App.
Tested on:
Environment: Python 3.6/3.7/3.8
Operating System: Debian
Package can be installed with pip or from source.
It is advised to install the module in a virtual env.
Create virtual env first:
.. code:: bash
python -m venv .
source bin/activate
To install from pip:
.. code:: bash
pip install pyps4-2ndscreen
To install from source clone this repository and run from top-level:
.. code:: bash
pip install -r requirements.txt
python setup.py install
UDP is used to get status updates and retrieve user credentials. TCP is used to send commands to the PS4 Console.
This module uses UDP port 1987 by default as the source port for polling the PS4.
PS4 listens on ports 987 (Priveleged) to fetch user PSN credentials.
In order to obtain user credentials, the Python Interpreter needs access to port 987 on the host system. The credential service pretends to be a PS4 console and will receive broadcast packets from the PS4 2nd Screen app on port 987.
Example:
.. code:: bash
sudo setcap 'cap_net_bind_service=+ep' /usr/bin/python3.5
This is so you do not need sudo/root priveleges to run.
