The PS4 Remote PKG Sender is an application that has been inspired by @irefuse and is a refactored version of the original repository. It's based on Electron, Webpack, Vue, Express, Axios, Element-UI, and Node, and it doesn't have any extra dependencies.

This application provides a nice GUI and allows for the creation of a cross-platform application that works on Mac, Linux, and Windows. It includes features like configuring your server with your base path, controlling the server application by click, showing a list of all server-side listed PKGs, and many more.

The fork by Gkiokan includes updates and new features. For example, it was the first Remote Package Sender that supports PKG Install through application requests. It also added PS5 support and fixed HB-Store file URLs. The application is continuously updated with new features and improvements.

With 2.10.0+ we are the first Remote Package Sender that supports PKG Install though application requests.

Thanks to etaHEN (@LightningMods) and all the devs who was working on this - huge step forward.

etaHEN prototype build for PS5 Support.
For internal BETA testing only!

v2.9.1

It has been a long journey so far, and you have done well!
With 53k Download as of August 2023, that's quite impressive.
Thank you for using the Application. Any Support is appreciated and don't forget to check out my channels.
In this update I've added the Bulk Action, Drag & Drop and the RPSV2 features.
The Bulk action helps you do add all your server files to the Queue at once.
You can Drag and Drop files and Folders from any place directly to the App now.
Check out the User Button, it has a write up of the upcoming features in v2.10.* and recalls for Support.
I've setup a Ko-Fi Goal that I will look for donations to continue on the listed features.
One of the amazing feature will be Files from Hosts but this needs quite a bit of work due the custom API and DNS that is required.
As always, have fun with the version and stay tuned!

v2.8.0

This release includes further improvements, hot fixes and patches. Removed deprecations.
I've also added some important security policies to components to make them compatible with the existing apis.
You can edit the base path now directly in the Server Tab.
Download remote items within a custom download window which has an animated loader view for itself.
Beside that you can now check directly in the app if there is any new release and download it for your machine.
There is a checkup on startup if you are on the latest release. This is a preparation for the later incoming auto-updater.
Deprecated links for the Miscs > Downloads has been exchanged with existing ones and a new Remote Package Installer (on the ps4) OOP Edition of @njzydark has been added to the list of RPI alternatives for flatZ RPI, as it has the latest updates.
A requested feature for scoll to top has been added, too. It will show up on a big list and allow you to scroll back quickly.
The full Changelog can be seen as always on the official Changelog page. Also there are a couple new Troubleshooting Guide entries.
Thanks @Masamune3210 for fixing some spellings on the Troubleshooting Guide.

v2.7.2-RC

Direct View Access to the Local Server View and PS4 API Logs Dropdown added.
Added the Logo into the Info View.

v2.7.1

I am proudly presenting you the v2.7.1 with fully integrated HB-Store, Darkmode and Queue Scanner!
Features that all of you wanted and now are working and making this app even better.

v2.6.0

This is a pre-release because the darkmode is not fully finished (title bar still system based).

v2.5.2

Fixed Header Position, it stay now there where it should stay if you have larger content.
Fixed flashing on Configuration page which happens when you press enter for submit (not necessary).
Improoved Troubleshooting Guide with the latest errors that happend to some users.

Added (experimental) direct link to the Queue. Activate the feature in your Settings first to try out.
Added Downloads Area. If you want to have your app there, message me on Discord.

You can download the PKG's directly from the HB-Store tab and install them from your base_path if direct install does not work for you.

v2.5.0-pre-release

This is a pre-release and not fully tested yet.
HB-Store partially implemented.
Stay tuned once this is ready.

v2.4.3-Beta

Fixing the Storage creation error which causes the application crashes and endet up on the WhiteScreenOfDead.
The solution that I've implement may delay the start in case of an error within 1-2 secs because
I am creating the store in a while Loop and catching any accuring error and force it to recreate the store.
Added also a application global errorHandler which should alert any other issue that accures.
This should be ultimately kill any errors on windows ( which is the only Platform that had any problems yet ).
Thanks for any feedback that helps me to fix the issues and make that tool better then ever.
Spoiler: HB-Store implementation will be available in the next update v2.5.*

v2.4.2-Beta

Further Improvements and optimizing Request Handling.
Added custom timeout and interval values for updating task progress
Added deeper logging on PS4 Operations and Responses
Added Check Server Button on the Progress Center
Added Check PS4 Connection on the Progress Center
Added dedicated Changelog
Added dedicated Troubleshooting Guide
Added Changelog and Troubleshooting guide into the Application Menu
Added extendable Table row on Server files to see file path and url
Post-Patch fixed the throttle for win11 and the finished condition for installing and finished state.

v2.4.1-Beta

Added errorCatcher for better debugging for everyone.
Fixed the missing ps4 default port for the RPI which caused no Install Requests.
Sorry for the mistake, that happend to me by rushing the configs and couldn't see the error on my dev machine until feedback comes in.
Again, if you have any trouble on running the portable, then use the unpacked version.
