I have the same problem. @morningla Do you already have a solution? |
|
playactor commands all work in command prompt to put system on standby and power on. ON/OFF status is showing properly, but powering on and off is not working in the Home App. must be a permission issue but cannot figure it out. |

hello KOpiro, reading on the site looking for the problem, I saw this answer, I wanted to tell you that perhaps the problem is just this, i.e. that the user does not have access to the home/homebridge/.config/playactor folder. also because if I go to this directory I can't find anything to do with playactor. |

This is correct,
The only playactor folder on windows is the configuration files in this folder.
C:\Users\User\.config\playactorC:\Users\***\.config\playactor
There is not playactor folder anywhere else in the homebridge folders, but neither does any other plug-ins I think?
C:\Users\User \.homebridge

Step 1: sudo addgroup pi homebridge
Where "pi" is your current username.
Step 2: sudo chmod 0760 /home/homebridge/ && sudo chmod 0760 /home/homebridge/.config/ && sudo chmod 0760 /home/homebridge/.config/playactor/
Step 3: sudo chmod 0644 /home/homebridge/.config/playactor/credentials.json
Step 4: ln -s /home/homebridge/.config/playactor /home/pi/.config/playactor
Step 2 &3 fix the access rights to the config file.
Step 4 links the file to my current home. For some reason it tries to find the file here. Works like a charm now

In windows, the folder is here? local system runs homebridge, and has access to this folder. I can try changing??? C:\Users\ ***\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\playactor |

Try following the configuration instructions here again: https://github.com/NikDevx/homebridge-playstation-game-title?tab=readme-ov-file#configuration I had the same problem, and just setting it up again (pairing it again), fixed it. |
