Major PS4 System Software Update v2.0 Available NOW

Sweet. Custom backgrounds. Now all I need is something like this on my PS4.

Sony, please deliver!

Oh god.. That is really making me hungry.. Gimme some of dat grillled corn smothered with butter. hmmm
 
Folders, no. Automatic library organization with filter and search options, yes.
That's better anyway, assuming sufficient tags on the content. Bonus points if you can add custom tags.

Being able to add multiple tags to the same piece of content would be bliss.
 
Can't be said enough. If Sony make this exclusive to the Japanese store then I will FUCKING END THEM!

Edit - That awful realisation that it took them almost an entire year to grant us the ability to pause downloads. Holy shit.

They've actually acknowledged Toro quite a bit in recent years, so i'm not sure that they'd make his theme exclusive to Japan.
 
Is there a catch with share play, that sounds too good to be true.

The catch is that it's dependent on the internet of two users. The upload speed of the host and the download speed of the share play user.

Even if the service works as advertised, I forsee many people proclaiming it "shit" because of Internet issues.
 
Honestly the Youtube App is the thing I'm most excited for. Sometimes I want to take a break from a game and watch a vid or two and I don't want to turn on one of the other systems just do do this.
 
yep ever since using Plex on WiiU years ago, I couldnt give a shit about DLNA, much better performance, no setup, better organization, etc.

I use Plex and it's passable but I don't get 5.1 out of this setup. Hence I want DLNA or at the very least video support.
 
It's really baffling how they don't have a push system in place for consoles on standby. We know that they can push stuff to the console due to our ability to remotely buy and download games. I'm curious as to why they don't apply that to updates.
If they send out a push notification when the update goes live, you literally have millions of PS4s all hammering the server at once; they'd just DDoS themselves. You could send out push notifications in phases, but who gets to go first?

Polling eliminates those issues. Let the casual users grab it later that night while they're sleeping. That already breaks up the vast majority of the server load in to 24, manageable chunks. If someone is in tune and eager to get the new hotness, they can just download it manually; it's not like they really need a push notification anyway.

Should have been using Youtube.com/tv in the PS4 browser man. Search and find the videos on your phone/tablet and then they just play automatically on your TV.

I like it more than than the PS3 Youtube app

Easy, Turbo. They said we're getting two at launch.

Or did you specifically mean the Toro theme? If so, just create a JP account and nab it.
 
So wait, I'm confused. Pause downloads isn't in? Why was everyone saying it is?

Also - just so we're clear once and for all, the @PS4Germany twitter account belongs to Turkoop It's not official

If you opt-in to Youtube HTML5 Video Player, most videos will work from the normal youtube page as well.

It's in.

yeah more options are nice. But Plex added 5.1 audio support back in 2013 from what I have read. could be something else weird going on. Are you using HDMI or optical for audio? Ive heard people say in this thread that HDMI 5.1 doesnt work or is bugged on PS4. I use optical though. Though I havent used Plex on PS4.

Referring to the Toro theme. If it's free then fine, I can grab it using my Jp account, but if they charge for it then I've got to buy a PSN card especially for that store and euuggghhhh.

Wait, what? I can make YouTube give me h.264 instead of trying to feed me Flash all the time?? Is this an account setting or something? Will this mean I don't need to keep telling Safari to pretend to be an iPad?
 
Hell fucking yeah. Live entertainment right on my VITA while my wife watches stupid TLC shows....


This is awesome; bring on the European strippers!



EDIT: Can I stream myself on the LIVE app with teh front camera on my Vita? Not becaues I want to, but just because I want to knwo if I can...

LIVE FROM PLAYSTATION ON MY VITA!!!!!!
 
pause/resume downloads?

that alone makes this a better update than anything else ps4 had until now.


Potentially stupid question:

Do we KNOW for a fact that the USB player enables custom soundtrack in-game? I ask since they never mention that in the promo videos for the update. They only show you playing music while the player is open.

pro tip: if they dont say it, then maaaaaaybe its not in. yet.

When I leave the office, I'll make a video. It was an account setting.

You'll open it in the PS4 browser and it will say "not supported" but you wait about 5 seconds and it switches to HTML5.

It's right in the features list linked in the OP:

USB Music Player*: Insert USB memory with music in your PS4 and start playing your favorite tunes in the background

App will run in the background, just like how music unlimited does. So you can play whatever you want while listening to it.

USB Music Player: PS4 owners can play their own music in the background while playing a game using USB Music Player*. After inserting a USB stick loaded with music into the PS4, a new option for USB Music Player will appear. Supported filename extensions include MP3, MP4, M4A, and 3GP.
