Unable to authenticate PS4

[ijv182]

Describe Your Problem:
Following the startup guide, I am getting stuck after running home bridge-playstation-login. After hitting Y to authenticate, terminal returns that there are no credentials for my PS4. logging in as root doesn't help either. I've seen 2 other issues similar to this (one of which was closed but did not have a documented resolution) so I'm logging this ticket for visibility.

Note, the closed issue did ask about a credentials file existing, following this direction, it appears this file does not exist for me, though it's unclear how to create one. Additional direction would be appreciated.

I have the same issue.

Still an open issue but just to share some progressive I’ve made screwing around. The configuration file is definitely not being made when running the login command. I attempted to make a blank configuration json and when I ran the command it got a little farther and homebridge-playstation recognized that my blank json was not configured correctly haha. Not necessarily any better but that’s something I suppose.

I also tried running the login command from user Pi (my default user on my rpi) as opposed to from the terminal on the homebridge UI and that finally got me to the next step asking me to connect to play actor from the 2nd screen app. Unfortunately Playactor didn’t come up when I tried to connect via the named app but I’ll open a ticket there.

Anyway, for those having this same issue, try executing the command from your default user, if you’re able to successfully connect, then try moving the configuration json to the correct folder? /home/homebridge/.config/playactor I think is what it is.

I am running into the same thing. Is someone taking a look into this or not?

  I think I fixed it (maybe). I did this. 1- logged in as root by typing "su" without the quotes. 2 - I typed my root password. 3- entered ( PlayStation-homebridge-login) and hit enter. 4 - everything went well, he asked me to enter the PlayStation on settings Etc ..... and write the password that appears on the TV. 5 - written password asked me to restart homebridge. seems to work for now. N.B. I don't want to be wrong but I had already done this test under the advice of KOPIRO but it didn't work, the only difference is that before doing all this I removed the PlayStation icon from HomeKit, removed the accessory from the cache, restarted homebridge and then did all of the above.

I hope to see an update soon, with fixed problems with Ps4 written on it
