hi all,

I was wondering, is it possible to view list of installed PKG, update version and also DLC on PS4 via PC? perhaps at least via FTP connection?
my PC and PS4 are connected via local network.

thank you in advance for your help

I mean FTP you can view files but it's not going to give you pkg information, but it's possible to find the folders of the games. Can't remember the location though.

You can find the version of the game right from the game icon though. Just hit option.

hi. thanks for your reply :)
yes, I understand that we can view each game info by pressing option. but I was wondering instead of checking one by one, which game has which DLC & update version, if there is an easier way :)

unfortunately we cannot simply update to the latest version via PSN, so I have to make a note for each game, which version is currently installed ^^;

Use patch installed app it will tell you which games have what patches installed unless if someone applied patches during the fpkg creation process selecting remaster. But just clicking options on a given game on your ps4 ui and selecting info tells you about the game right there.
And as for dlc you’d know if your playing your game if you have dlc your not, just by using Google if your game has dlc and then see if anyone has maybe it available and for your vr. Of said game (cusa) @KiiWii has a great tool

there's also a way to check dlc through I think information or you can go to content manager in debug settings to see all the packages that have been installed. be careful deleting "entitlement," because it delete the content and the license, yet the app.db won't be affected for some reason.

my PC and PS4 are connected via local network.

Find an Sqlite client for your PC and examine the "/system_data/priv/mms/app.db" file, you'll find all the information about all the packages installed on your PS4.

My suggestion is to avoid to modify it to avoid problems as it's an important system file — or save somewhere a backup copy.

    @Sicklyboy have you tried the xiaomi ones? I have a 4 year old one that managed to work just fine (tested once for fun).
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @Skelletonike, nope, not yet. only tried a LineageOS Android TV build and raspbian (with Plasma Big Screen which I can't get to work) on a pi4. Was thinking about running over to walmart today and seeing if they had their "Onn" brand Android streaming box in stock. Heard good things about those
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Or a 4k firestick, I have several n they work great (mostly stream kodi from NAS drive) n they cheap. $25-50

    The old ones were crappy/ slow ui/ weak WiFi but new gen better, at least for me.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    But I have seen people liking those ONN stream boxes, and they come w no bloatware which is nice. (firesticks has tons of bloat)
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I also use PiHole on my network which blocks most that crap, I definitely noticed all my smart stuff seems to work better after setting up PiHole
