Works like a Charm. Make sure to USB mode to AUTO in camera settings. Sony a7ii

Does not work on the Sony website. Entire Sony ecosystem sucks.

Richard Jones2018年7月27日

Doesn't work: downloads Windows program on Mac. Mac users can't buy or install apps from Sony store. They must be losing tons of money.

Oriol Gascón2018年7月11日

marche pas sur mon mac non plus, j'ai installé plusieurs fois, rien a faire :(

The playmemories website is HORRIBLE. I just wanted to download the time lapse app and it has forced me to restart my mac like 15 times and no software whatsoever. Very frustrating...

Increíble, una marca como Sony, con la calidad de productos que ofrece, el deplorable servicio de postventa que tiene. Este programa tanto como el servicio de compra de programas para la cámara esta totalmente abandonado por Sony. Ni si quiera he podido añadir una tarjeta de crédito a mi perfil para comprar los programas desde la cámara, al parecer el servicio está tan abandonado que sólo da errores

useless piece of junk. Shame on Sony

Heeft even heel goed gewerkt, maar ineens is het volkomen waardeloos geworden. WS na een update. Van alles geprobeerd, maar nix helpt.

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.
