I completely agree that the website kinda sucks. but after playing around for ten minutes i figured it out. I have the A7ii, and install this extension while the camera is connected to your computer and is ON. After it is installed and the camera is on, (make sure you leave the extension installed on chrome) go back to the website PlayMemories and it should detect your camera and should be easy from there.

Says there's support for Mac, but there's no support for Mac.

Absolute rubbish workflow.

PSN Gutschein gekauft und eingelöst. In der Kamera wollen Sie trotzdem extra die Kreditkartendaten, wäre ja auch zu leicht gewesen. Ok, dann über den Browser. PC Version wird ohne Nachfrage heruntergeladen, ok Mac Version installiert, Neustart..... nix!!! Warum man es nicht einfach nur im Browser kaufen kann und dann einfach in der Kamera istalliert, erschliesst sich mir nicht, sie wollen eigentlich wohl keine Apps verkaufen :(

Versuche, wie schon so viele vor mir, ein App auf meiner Kamera zu installieren. Werde ständig aufgefordert die obige App zu installieren, installiere sie, dann wieder alles von vorne. Auch in der Kamera selbst ist es nicht möglich eine App zu kaufen, lande immer wieder auf der gleichen Fehlerseite.Totaler Schrott.

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.
