Firmware 13.60 (experimental): HearBridge-PS5-1.0.2-fw13.60.elf

What's new: home-screen icon and "already running" fixes

• The home-screen icon is reinstalled on every run. If you deleted the HearBridge icon, running HearBridge again brings it back. Before, it stayed missing because HearBridge thought it was already installed.
• Re-registering an icon that is already there is treated as success, so you don't get a false "icon could not be added" message.
• No false "already running" after a crash, a forced quit or a leftover lock file. The lock is released automatically when HearBridge exits for any reason, so a new run always starts.
• If HearBridge really is already running, running it again still refreshes the icon before showing "already running".
• If /data/hearbridge is not writable, you now get a separate message instead of "already running".

Audio, connections and the control page are unchanged from 1.0.1.

Not tested on a real console yet. These changes pass all host tests, but they have not been run on a PS5 yet. If something does not work, please report it with the log files.

Tested on: HearBridge was developed and tested on a PS5 fat (original model, CFI-10xx) running firmware 10.20. Other models (Slim, Pro, later fat revisions) and other firmwares are untested and may use a different Bluetooth chip, so reports from them are welcome.

Run: send the ELF to elfldr on port 9021, then open http://:8090.

Instructions: README (also in العربية, Español, Français, Deutsch, Português, Русский, 日本語, 中文, Italiano and עברית). Troubleshooting: README.

Firmware 13.60 (experimental)

If you are on firmware 13.60 and get no HearBridge icon on the home screen, try HearBridge-PS5-1.0.2-fw13.60.elf instead of HearBridge-PS5-1.0.2.elf. It has the same version (1.0.2), the same page and audio, and every fix listed above. It also:

• is meant to fix the missing home-screen icon on newer firmware. It registers the icon on every run, with a fallback install call and system rights;
• adds diagnostics: /data/hearbridge/diag.txt and http://:8090/api/diag (firmware, console model, each install step with its result code, USB/Bluetooth devices, audio libraries). There is also a diag.txt link on the page, and an on-screen message if the icon could not be added;
• keeps the page and diagnostics up when Bluetooth cannot start.

Not tested on a real console yet. As far as I can tell it should also work on other firmwares, but that is unverified. If it does not work, please report it with diag.txt and the log file.
