The pool now spawns the full worker set at startup and gates each worker by its slot against a live active_conns limit, instead of spawning exactly max_connections threads once. Saving a new value in Settings updates the limit and broadcasts: idle workers wake to pull pieces, and a lowered limit parks the extra workers after they finish their current piece. No restart, and no thread creation/teardown at runtime. Verified on device: max_connections changed 4 -> 8 -> 16 -> 4 through the API while a download stayed active throughout. (Throughput did not scale with connections on this CDN, which caps aggregate bandwidth per source IP; 4 is a sensible default.)
PatchDL Web UI
Standalone static UI for the planned PS5 patchdl.elf web server.
Open index.html directly for the mock UI, or serve this directory from the
ELF web server. The JavaScript first tries the real API and falls back to demo
data when the API is not available.
The embedded ELF server serves this UI on port 12880 by default.
Expected API
GET /api/status
GET /api/config
POST /api/config
GET /api/titles
GET /api/downloads
POST /api/titles/:title_id/check
POST /api/titles/:title_id/download
POST /api/titles/:title_id/install
POST /api/titles/:title_id/enable
POST /api/titles/:title_id/disable
Policy Model
The UI assumes deny-by-default behavior:
{
"default_policy": "deny",
"download_dir": "/data/patchdl (internal)",
"install_after_download": false,
"delete_pkg_after_install": true,
"source_policy": {
"official": { "allow_check": true, "allow_download": true, "allow_install": true },
"external": { "allow_check": true, "allow_download": true, "allow_install": true },
"shadowmount": { "allow_check": true, "allow_download": true, "allow_install": false },
"unknown": { "allow_check": true, "allow_download": false, "allow_install": false }
},
"cdn_allowlist": [
"sgst.prod.dl.playstation.net",
"gst.prod.dl.playstation.net",
"gs2.ww.prod.dl.playstation.net"
]
}
Per-title modes:
disabled
download_only
latest_compatible
pin
check_only
Per-title source fields:
{
"title_id": "PPSA90001_00",
"name": "Shadowmounted Test Title",
"source_type": "shadowmount",
"source_path": "/system_ex/app/PPSA90001_00",
"mount_from": "/mnt/usb0/itemzflow/Shadowmounted Test Title",
"enabled": true,
"mode": "download_only"
}
Supported source_type values:
official
external
shadowmount
unknown
The frontend treats shadowmount as download-only and unknown as blocked for
downloads and installs. Backend code should enforce the same policy even if a
client sends a forged request.
For PS5 game updates, the backend may turn a Sony manifest_url into a merged
local .pkg by downloading all manifest pieces. The delta_url *-DP.pkg is
not shown as a separate user action because it can bootstrap the storage/master
title instead of the installed regional target.
