PSVita firmware update 2.10 to add folders, and in browser video streaming

So finally VITA has folders!!!!

And I hope the streaming plays MKV!!! <3
Doubt it...
From my experience, matroska is usually the last video format to be supported by non-PC devices because of it's popularity in pirated videos.
Don't expect any subtittles support anytime soon ether!
 
Finally this firmware fixes the hanging that occurs when you press the top bar to go to the bottom of a page on mobile gaf

Really? Fuck yeah. I hated when that would happen.

An off topic question, but is there any way to increase the text size when reading mobile GAF? Everything is so microscopic on the Vita. :(
 
i dont understand streaming bit, so how i do stream videos on my PC to my vita??

can someone give me a tutorial please
 
Have they fixed the 2 clicks text fit?. Last time i tried it zoomed the text but as it went on loading the page it reseted it to normal size again.
 
So memory card switching -
1 PSN account, 2 cards = bubble layout saved
2 PSN accounts, 1 card each = bubble layout not saved?
Can someone confirm?
 
I don't think this has been posted yet but this is a very welcome addition

I love this update. I have my screens very organized.

Now you Vita only owners understand why it was a big deal when the 3DS got folders?

I'd like to know, too. Seems like a pain to get working so I'd like to know if it works first.

Have you tried this yet?

Well I found this one witch looks miles better and it works for the WiiU.

http://www.plexapp.com/

And looks like it doesn't work. The website loads but the video stays black.

I set up a small web with a video tag and it look like video tags don't actually work. I'm slightly dissapointed.

Now its time to look at how is youtube actually delivering video to the Vita.
 
They've done something with downloading/installing from PSN.
I just grabbed VLR from PS+, took about 30min to download and 5s to install. WOW
 
Deleting all the extra screens and having everything handily available on a single one was soooo satisfying. Soooo goooood.
 
When you were transferring from the PS3 to Vita before the update it never told you which game was transferring and how long it would take.

Thanks.

Yeah. The Vita really needed this. I'm also happy that I only have to choose one really awesome wallpaper instead of several different ones. I guess I could have done that before but the temptation to use different wallpapers for each screen was too great.

1 PSN account, 2 cards = bubble layout saved

Switching back and forth between JPN and US accounts over two cards, I've found that bubbles still revert back to their factory default positions unfortunately :(

Wait, so how easy is it to switch between international accounts now? Do you have to do the factory reset like before?
 
This is minor even for a first world problem, but I've noticed that the update has added an icon of the game that is currently inserted next to the clock. Does anyone know how to remove that?
 
Wow...I had 10 pages before this update, and now I'm down to 3, with most of the icons/apps in folders.
I currently have 2 main pages: One for Persona games, and one for FF. The only FF games I'd have on the Vita are gonna be: FF4, 9, 012 Dissidia, X and X-2.
As such, could someone provide some FF series background images for the Vita please?

Yeah man I know what you mean. I was deep into trying to find a good combo like a fool for the longest while, but now I don't have to worry about that anymore! It's great that Sony are still treating the Vita well.

It's unclear but it isn't just like.. a video player in the browser. When you hit play it's almost as if a mini Youtube app opens to play the video.

i'd like to know as well!

and so how do we stream videos from PC to vita? im still confused how to the web browser streaming works

OK this is weird:
2 PSN accounts (NA & EU) and 2 cards.
NA backup to computer -> system format -> switching cards.
EU account up -> some layount changes -> EU backup to computer.
EU format -> switching cards -> restore NA backup = LAYOUT SAVED
NA format -> switching cards -> restore EU backup = LAYOUT SAVED
 
Went with no wallpaper, just a black background and it's quite effective on the black console.



Nice to b e down to one page........... for now.

And yes, even each bubble within the folder are in alphabetical order. Curse this OCD!
 
Still cant play videos in the browser.

That info-trailer was pretty ridiculous when showing us that you can browse Youtube. We have a dedicated app for that, why would i use the browser?

because I do not have the app..? not all countries have the youtube app..

Because some regions don't have the app? Also the webpage offers extra functionality over the Vita app as well.
 
don't care about video, but two big updates

- folders, finally. Was already juggling lots of PSone games
- remembering icons per memory card. Makes it feasible to switch accounts finally again
 
Take the game out? Lol

Well.. yeah, but I always leave a game in and the icon was never there before the 2.10 update. Like I said, I know it's a small thing, but I was wondering if anyone else had tried to remove it. I looked through the settings this morning before I left for work but didn't find anything.
 
Completely missing the point of folders. The limit is still 100 games. I am not buying a single Vita game until they increase the limit. Tough shit, Sony.

Why would I use folders if it doesn't increase the game quantity?! I have already deleted a game too many. I didn't even redeem the free games for Vita anniversary bullshit because I see no reason to.
 
Post this here as well

So my vita downloaded the 2.10 update via ps plus, this morning while plugged in, I went to update, took a dump during the progress screen, and now it won't turn on. Black screen, blue ps button lit.

Any suggestions?

I did wash my hands afterwards
