That might be true, but the only point I wanted to make was that it shared a fundamental issue with the integrated wMM feature here: both are not writing anything to disk in my case from the in-game XMB, but both work from normal XMB.

So I'm seeing 3 separate issues:
My "write to disk" issue
The "stopping recording from the browser crashes the ps3" issue.
And the "Select + R3" shortcut not working issue.

The last one I don't have, it works fine for me. But the first two...

Wait. Does any of this depend on the Video Editor and Uploader being installed on the system? Because I did not install this yet after a recent reflashing of the system. And it seems like this would be the cause to install the blackbox recording functions that the plugin depends on.

Testing this. Edit: Tested. No change. :(

Well, was worth a shot. I'm about out of ideas though.

Just wait for now. We have done a lot already.
I think we need some input from master @aldostools now. He knows wMM like the back of his hand & he must have tested this feature many times already so he should know all the common issues at least.
After all our testing he also has much info to look for & find any eventual discrepancy in the code.

In fact Aldo I am realising that I cannot use any in-game combos, damn! Just tried them all, not one will trigger... What could be the reason for this?

In-game BGM toggle also not working it seems. @bguerville can you try it? Tested with a few titles, loaded and enabled in browser, sending the command from the browser to the PS3 gives the notification that it's been enabled, yet it remains inoperable. Tried a bunch of different configurations of other settings too to see if it could be hung up on a glitch (SEN Enabler PSN Enabled/Disabled for example)

In-game screenshots work however this is hard-coded into Rebug 4.80. So it seems like the plugins and functions that are trying to modify the in-game sprx while it's running are failing possibly.

While the wMM service is running and properly sending notifications during gameplay, for some reasons it's not able to modify the in-game XMB process and changing anything, and it's not just wMM as mysis POC is also unable to do this.

Actually BGM cannot be relied on 100%, it remained a test feature (disabled in most editions) due to freezes & instability.
Look at the notes from Aldo.
Code: 
//// TEST FEATURES //// 
#define SYS_BGM				1	// system background music (may freeze the system when enabled)
I never use the feature as a result.

Some wMM features do not work in-game because they are not designed to. The xmb & in-game xmb system plugins are different & there are many limitations in-game. That's normal, as the system plugins are different in each case, the in-game one gives us less features to play with.
As a result, some wMM could only be implemented for situations when not in-game!
 
Of course! I'm not expecting to be able to use full wMM in game or anything.

What I mean is that it doesn't crash, hang, or do anything at all beyond display a response to the web command. The plugin itself is loaded and responding, but cannot seem to alter other running processes. It simply responds to inputs and sends notifications, but changes nothing in memory. I'm not complaining about the BGM or Video Rec functions being unstable. They load with the plugin, but are unable to do anything in memory, be that write to the in-game xmb, or to write to the HDD in the case of video recording.

When it's buggy or crashing, that's understandable and there's not much we can do about it as we are squeezing the system to run this in the background. But for it to not work in *any* instances, and change nothing in memory, is peculiar and seems like something else.

Can you crash your PS3 enabling BGM with 4.80 and the latest wMM? I cannot, as nothing at all happens beyond a notification.
 
When you are in-game, actions are not performed?
Are you sure it is not because you are not in Admin mode?
For example, in-game I used
hxxp://ps3-ip-address/restart.ps3, it failed.
But if I use the admin combo l2+r2+triangle then launch a game. Once in-game I use
hxxp://ps3-ip-address/restart.ps3 & it restarts....

In my tests (most of them were on 4.46), the feature BGM worked perfectly when it was enabled in-game.
The freeze that I experienced was trying to return to XMB.

Note: The result may be different for each game, due some games demand more memory than others, or may be incompatible with BGM.

I don't remember the exact steps, but the BGM player may not appear immediatetly on the in-game XMB.
IIRC you have to do something like press PS, select the music, press PS, press PS again, go to the player and press play, press PS.

As the BGM feature is very cumbersome, I have tagged it as a "test" feature.
 
And I still cannot use any webMAN-MOD combos while in-game....
Just tested sysbgm.ps3 but despite saying it is enabled in the pc browser & the pop-up on the PS3, nothing else happens. No player...

I don't have the admin feature turned on. Those functions work fine in-game.
Any functions that webman had before starting the game, all work normally. I can restart, adjust fans, etc.

Just now, while typing, I tried manually creating the paths that mysis POC requires (game/PRXLOADER/USERDIR/) and it began working. So in the case of wMM it may be an issue with the save file path perhaps?

I'll try deleting the hdd0/VIDEO folder and remaking it in mmCM, as that worked for mysis apparently...
 
It cannot be a problem with the path as I get a video file in /dev_hdd0/VIDEO...
Although I still get the crash on stop recording & the resulting mp4 file is unreadable... Lol
 
Just in case it was somehow something I had screwed up with the permissions somehow, I went ahead and re-made the directory in mmCM just in case. No output still.

I don't believe the function is working at all on my system. It seems that in-game, wMM is unable to write to anything. I never enabled admin mode at all, but is it not honoring that in-game perhaps and locking itself out of write access? I'm inclined to think it has to be something related to memory and/or write access.

I also think the same is true of the BGM toggle. It's totally expected if it's buggy or crashes, but I see no effect on the in-game XMB at all, cannot load any songs or even see playback controls. Just the standard list and greyed out functions.
 
I dunno. I don't get any BGM player or controls either however in-game screenshots & in-game recording both produce files on /dev_hdd0.

Still it is possible that the admin mode is glitchy, it's a new feature & there could be unforeseen issues or bugs....??
 
I was thinking the same just now. If Admin mode isn't toggling flags properly, it could be defaulting to some things restricted and others not? So your shortcuts don't work, and my write access doesn't work, etc.

I'll try enabling and disabling it to see if that changes anything.
 
Tried toggling the admin function a few times. BGM managed to crash some titles, worked on 2, which is good progress versus nothing at all before. So perhaps it just needed permissions reset or something?

However despite switching it on and off, none of this is letting the video recording function write to the hard disk.
Browser command still crashes the system.

Well, tiny bit of progress is good. At least I know the BGM function is working now as expected now.

edit: So to remove a variable, I downgraded my webman mod to 1.45.00 to remove the admin function and test again. Still no change on the video recording function. Cannot write to disk at all. No change in free space on hdd0.

I do not know if it's a problem, but I have a question.
She is about the controller of cooler.
I left it marked only in automatic, and the set value is 68, but when the PS3 reboots it goes back to SYSCON.Is this normal?:confused3:
I use wM v1.45.02 Full
