Hacking Enable DVD / Blu-ray playback ???

[karloz25]

I have a ps4 with 4.05 HEN, I wanted to watch a movie today and was greeted with a msg regarding enabling playing via online...

Is there a hack to this? Or is it safe to hook up the internet to enable this feature?



Also in debug setting menu I took a pic of maybe something that might enable it.... is this right?
Should I mess with this?

Thanks.

Good shout, this is an interesting point.

I would like to know too.

Have you tired toggle those on?

I would guess with internet on, and auto updates off, it should activate.

Would be nice to have a BDactivator payload handy though for those who want to stay entirely offline.

might be due to AACS keys. they're bluray keys that have to be renewed every 12-18 months.

just connect your ps4 to internet and launch the movie to update the keys

disable automatic ps4 software updates first

Sounds simple, but I don’t want to try it and accidentally lose my jailbreak....?

'Jailbreak' is temporary anyway.. aka HEN.

Disable updates, use update blocker payload and go for it

Instructions for those are here: https://gbatemp.net/threads/aio-ps4-exploit-guide.497858/

Just tried it and crashed my ps4 and shut it down.


Update:
Working now after enabling internet for a bit before loading the dvd.

Looks like he inserted a dvd, enabled internet, waited a few mins, loaded dvd, disabled internet.

If thats the case ensure you have update blocker installed and settings for auto update off anyway.

Ya pretty simple (aside from the crashes and errors)

PS4 Console On
Ran HEN
Update Blocker V2 (or V1)
Turned Internet ON (removed DNS)
Inserted DVD
Waited a short time (seconds really)
DVD Launched
Exited DVD
Turned OFF Internet
Reapplied DNS
Tested DVD
Profit

I'm pretty sure those debug menu settings are there purely so you don't have to connect to the internet to activate.
