Media Player Classic PS5

A port of Media Player Classic - Home Cinema (MPC-HC 1.7.13) to the PlayStation 5: MPC-HC’s window, menus, toolbar, seek bar, status bar, dialogs and keyboard behaviour, drawn as Windows 10 draws them, on a native PS5 app that plays video and music from USB drives, the console’s storage, disc drives (the PS5’s own and USB drives: data discs, unencrypted DVD-Video and Blu-ray), Windows/Samba network shares (SMB) and the Internet (HTTP/HTTPS, HLS).

On Windows MPC-HC plays through DirectShow and LAV Filters, which are FFmpeg inside; here the playback engine is FFmpeg 7.1.5 itself (with dav1d for AV1), built for the console, and SMB shares are read with libsmb2, the library VLC’s SMB module uses.

PS5 port by github.com/MisterTemaki, with the PS5 layer of PS5SX2 (video out, sound, pad, the installer and the sandbox helper).

1.6.2 development: encrypted network passwords. Passwords are masked in the SMB form and hidden from addresses. Save password on this PS5 reuses the encrypted password automatically after restart, with no master password or extra dialog.…
