orbisRPC — Discord Rich Presence for the PS4

A background daemon that runs entirely on your jailbroken PS4 and posts what you're playing to your Discord profile — game name, cover art, elapsed timer. No PC, no phone bridge at runtime. v1.0.0.

Install (5 minutes, one try)

Install OrbisRPC-Setup-1.0.0.pkg (Releases page) via Package Installer.
Open orbisRPC Setup on the home screen.
Say Yes: it copies the daemon everywhere loaders look, checks WiFi, asks for your Discord token, saves it, and starts the daemon.
Launch a game. Watch Discord.

After a reboot, re-jailbreak, then enable AutoRun for orbisrpc in GoldHEN's payload menu — it starts itself on every jailbreak from then on.

How it works

PS4 (GoldHEN)                              Discord
+----------------------------------+      +------------------+
| orbisRPC daemon (payload)        |      | your profile     |
|  sandbox scan -> CUSA id         |  TLS | Playing Spider-  |
|  app.db -> display name          | <--> | Man — 1h 23m     |
|  art pack/CDN -> mp: cover       |      | [cover] [timer]  |
+----------------------------------+      +------------------+

Detection: the running game's /mnt/sandbox mount + eboot fast-switch
- 2-poll debounce. No tables, no per-game setup — any title works.
Names: system app.db (SQLite, read-only) → local files → Sony TMDB live → raw ID fallback. First authoritative hit self-learns into config.
Home: PlayStation logo tile with "On PS4" when idle.

Config (`/data/orbisRPC/config.json`)

Only token is required (your Discord user session token). Everything else has working defaults: presence_state, home_art, poll_interval_s, application_id, debug, plus the self-learned titles map (hands off — the daemon maintains it).

Building

Daemon + tools: ./scripts/build_sdk.sh (needs ps4-payload-sdk). Installer PKG: make -f installer/Makefile (OO_PS4_TOOLCHAIN, llvmshim — no brew). Host tests: make -C tests test && make -C tests asan, contracts: python3 tests/e2e_consumer.py.

Safety

A user session token grants full account access: never share the config, never commit a real token. Token use for presence is against Discord's ToS (Standard practice for headless presence tools; risk is yours — see docs).

License

Project license to be finalized (MIT vs GPL). No GPL source is copied into this tree; the OpenOrbis toolchain it builds against is GPL-3.0.
