homebridge-playstation v1.4.1 problems authenticating PS4

[frossmant]

Describe The Bug:
Cannot add authenticate PS4 (PS5 works though)

Device "PlayActor" does not appear in the IOS "second screen" app when trying to authenticate with the "homebridge-playstation-login" command.

To Reproduce:

$ cat /etc/sudoers|grep homebridge
homebridge ALL=NOPASSWD:/usr/bin/systemctl restart homebridge
homebridge ALL=NOPASSWD:/usr/bin/journalctl --no-pager --unit=homebridge.service
homebridge ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL

$ su - homebridge
# homebridge-playstation-login

Having the same problem. it shows instructions via terminal to find playactor (in ps4 second app). but it never shows. tried ps4-waker. but cant get that to work either. Using homebridge node.js 16.16.0. Have tried just doing the PS4, thought it might be a multiple device conflict issue (other device is Ps5) but it doesn’t show up on 2nd screen app either way.

I have this issue also. Is this likely to be looked at as I see last post was back in July?

Hello; I can test with the PS4 I Have; so far I've only tested on PS5.

HI. I would be grateful, I have a ps4 and something is wrong with playactor. it doesn't let me authenticate between plugin and ps4.. I don't receive the link to authenticate. Inviato da Andrea Russo
