Playactor [for PS5] supported features

[LordZork]

Hi @dhleong, the README.md indicates that certain features (illustrated below) are not currently supported for the PS5 with playactor. Most notably, App/Game start – a feature commonly used with the PS4 – is not supported for the PS5.

	PS4	PS5
Wake	✅	✅
Standby	✅	✅
Keyboard control	✅	❌
Key/Button press	✅	❌
App/Game start	✅	❌

That said, I'm curious – given the PlayStation App allows these features – what's the issue or limitation?

Are any of the currently-unsupported features – especially the aforementioned feature – possible and planned as a future update? Is this something you're looking into, or will the limitation persist?

I ask out of hopeful curiosity, but – as always – please know I greatly appreciate what you have been able to accomplish thus far, regardless if the other features are added or not. :)

I'm definitely interested in supporting "game start" but I haven't had the time to try to investigate how it works. IIRC the last time I investigated, it didn't seem to be something the app directly communicated with the device about, and I suspected perhaps it was making a request through the web. It's entirely possible I've missed something, however—I haven't looked terribly deeply, and would be happy to be proven wrong!

This would be awesome if game start was added for ps5. I used this function on my ps4 for the longest. Now that I have a PS5 I miss the function lol
