Could you build this?
No Developing native software for a jailbroken PS5 with hardware-accelerated 4K HDR video decoding requires reverse-engineering proprietary Sony FreeBSD-based system libraries and homebrew toolchains.
What it would actually take: Requires an environment built with homebrew PS5 SDKs (like Prospero toolchains), writing native C/C++ to interface with Sony's proprietary kernel patches, libkernel, and undocumented hardware decoders (VDEC). The hard part is reversing unpublished hardware video decode APIs and graphics surfaces on specific firmware versions without official SDKs or documentation.
