Под мак не работает. Камеру удалось подружить с маком только через сафари.

Unter Mac High Sierra: Chrome extension heruntergeladen, in playmemories network eingeloggt, versuche die Kamera zu verbinden: kein Erfolg, jedesmal sagt mir Sony´s website, ich soll ein Windows Installerpaket installieren... Gruselig. Habe es auch mit anderen Kombinationen versucht. Hilfetexte von Sony sind nichts aussagend.

Una basura. Como todos los usuarios que ya se quejaron: NO FUNCIONA en Mac + Chrome.

S Harris2017年12月4日

Seriously? Just look at the reviews. Sony needs to get their head out of their a** and make a good user experience. This is painful.

Beznadzieja. Nadal nie można utworzyć konta ani sie zalogować. Zmarnowane dwie godziny. SONY - ogarnij się!

Useless ....

Michael K. Umlandt2017年11月27日

Nichts funktioniert.

Maric Co2017年11月17日

все время требует установить эту ....., хотя она давно установлена! сколько можно??

Habe mit allen Browsern die Installation der Kamera versucht. Kein Erfolg! Bei einer Bewertung auf der Sony-Seite wurde diese frech gelöscht. Kontakt zu Sony wird nicht beantwortet. Nachdem die Kamera mit Objektiven weit über 2500 Euro gekostet hat, empfinde ich das Verhalten von Sony und die nicht funktionierende Software als Unverschämtheit. Soll ich nach Japan fliegen und die Erbringung der Dienstleistung vor Gericht einklagen?

Bridge/relay extension that enables communication between the PlayMemories Camera Apps website and a user's Sony camera via a native messaging host installed on the user's computer

Google Chrome cannot directly communicate with USB-connected Sony cameras to install camera apps; this extension bridges the gap between the web-based PlayMemories Camera Apps store and the local native messaging host that interfaces with the camera

1. User visits PlayMemories Camera Apps website in Chrome. 2. The website sends commands to the extension via chrome.runtime.sendMessage (externally_connectable). 3. The extension relays these commands to the native messaging host (com.sony.pmcadl.msghost) via chrome.runtime.connectNative. 4. The native host communicates with the USB-connected Sony camera to install/manage apps. 5. Responses flow back through the same chain.

Target users: Sony camera owners who want to install apps from PlayMemories Camera Apps / Users of Sony cameras that support PlayMemories Camera Apps (older Sony mirrorless/compact cameras)

Extension source code is very small (96 lines in background.js, 6 files total), providing high confidence in the analysis
Cannot verify whether the PlayMemories Camera Apps website itself requires login or has paid apps since that is external to the extension
The PlayMemories Camera Apps service appears to be discontinued/deprecated by Sony (based on the 2015 copyright and service status), which may affect real-world usability

Monetization

No paid features detected

The extension is a pure message relay bridge between the PlayMemories Camera Apps website and a native messaging host (com.sony.pmcadl.msghost) installed on the user's computer. It contains zero payment, subscription, billing, or feature-gating code. The extension has no UI, no premium features, and no payment integration. While the destination service (camera app store) may sell camera apps, the extension itself does not implement or gate any paid functionality.

Confidence: 85
Payment platform: --
Source: AI / High
Login required: Yes
Reason: The extension itself contains no login code or authentication logic. However, it is a bridge/relay that operates exclusively with the PlayMemories Camera Apps website (playmemoriescameraapps.com), which is a Sony camera app store. To browse and install apps from that service, users must have a Sony/PlayStation Network account. The extension's entire workflow depends on the destination website, which requires account authentication.
