Okay, people who have been able to successfully link their YT account to their consoles:
Does PS4 show up in the Account Permissions page of your YT account? I've only got PS Vita showing up.

Just trying to figure out why the hell this shit isn't working for me.

 

[panty]

All of my updates have been corrupted. Thank you Sony. smh

It's probably your fault.

 

[Z3M0G]

So what is up with this "Only your last 15 recent apps" appearing, and the rest getting thrown in the Library?

This is supposed to be an improvement?

 

[bigbaldwolf86]

The themes are on the UK store. I searched theme on the webstore and filtered to PS4 only.

 

[idonteven]

this updated bricked my ps4...keeps crashing and restarting en trying to rebuild database then it just turns of and does all of that again

 

[GribbleGrunger]

Themes available in the UK store

Whereabouts would themes appear in the store on the PS4?

 

[Vroadstar]

How does it structure the music? Does it recognise subfolders (for example if I have an artist/album subfolder structure under music does it sort them that way), or is it based on metadata? Or nothing at all?

Well I only tried it with one album, I got this latest album of Alice in Chains, what I did was just to drag and drop the album(folder) in the music folder. When I clicked on the USB music on PS4 it first displayed the album(subfolder). Haven't tried to load more albums in there, but I guess they structure it based on your first example.

 

[Dragon]

Whoa seriously? That's fucking awesome.

They added a shitload of options for the camera placement and streaming in general it seems like. Mostly to do with the UI.

I'm scared to turn mine on now. I feel so bad for you mate.

[GifGafIsTheBestGaf]

watched some yt before going to work, shit is sleek man love it

 

[FeiRR]

Can the ps4 read music directly off an iPhone? There is no way I am going to re organise all my music playlists manually like you had to in a the psp days.

Can iPhone be a mass storage device (usb pen) ? Can you make a 'music' folder in root? If both are 'yes' then it should work.

And now for the most popular fanboyism reply:

''Your console was probably already on its way to die''

 

[Noisepurge]

Push the more button on the home screen. Push the top bar and select search. That's how you do it now.

wow, that's pretty hidden... why did they dump it there and remove it from the obvious [Face+] button that signifies add friend.

Who is the UX designer responsible for this? Fire that guy and hire me instead!

Got a link?

 

[Lord of Castamere]

It's probably your fault.

It shut off during database rebuilding. I was just sitting and watching. Nothing touched anything. It just beeped 3 times and shut off. This is on Sony.

 

[DarkLordMalik]

I don't see why not. Although I personally haven't checked them on the PS4 store. You need to go to the settings > themes menu and check the PS store link from there.

You can turn it off. I forget where exactly but when I installed the update, it notified me that you could turn that feature off.

 

[Impeccable]

The replacement couldn't be any faster if your console does, in fact, break.

 

[Calabi]

Too bad the quality out of the controller jack is absolutely woeful.

Its better than the audio that comes out of my monitor.

 

[Acquiescence]

My worst fears confirmed - the Toro dynamic theme is Jp store-exclusive and it isn't free.

 

[kyser73]

No, you could open the menu via triangle and choose choose "show all files". You didnt need specially named folders.

Really? Wow, all those years of owning a 3 and I never knew that!

The more you know etc etc

 

[RoadHazard]

Just tried watching a YT video while playing BF4, and you can't switch between them by double-tapping the PS button like you can with everything else. Instead, you have to press it once to take you back to the UI, then go into TV/Video and manually select YT, it then tells you that to use this app you have to suspend the game that is currently running (but it doesn't close it). To get back into your game you just press the PS button once to go back to the UI, select the game, and it will take you right back to what you were doing.

I'm disappointed by that, to be honest. You can switch seamlessly between Twitch streams and your game with a double-tap of the PS button, so why not YT? I really hope they fix that.

It's the same with all apps, such as Netflix. They all suspend your game. Live from Playstation is different, as it isn't a separate app, but part of the main menu system.

 

[Bold One]

anyone tried their ipod in there yet?

 

[Omnipunctual Godot]

Same.

the assumption is you are more likely to want to use a recently used game/app, and reducing the infinitely scrolling horizontal list helps you get to the library more quickly. To me that is a clear improvement (although they could put the library on the far left so it is always one click away)

You can turn if off if you want.

 

[FalsettoVibe]

Played Fifa and DC via remote play, works well

Wait....I thought this only worked on Vita? And you can use a PS4 controller?

 

[ExoSoul]

EU store under maintenance. Can't wait for those themes.

 

[PodcastFips]

Plugged my iPhone 6 in and it is only being charged, nothing else. Same for all the other Apple devices then.

 

[GribbleGrunger]

I've had that before myself. Just perceiver and you'll sort it. Try reinstalling the firmware.

iPads, too?

I didn't have time to notice you could turn it off, nice. I was also checking this out through my Vita while I was in a rush before work, so some details got by me. Not a bad feature then. I hope for folder support in the future though.

 

[ReplacementPelican]

The themes are actually pretty cool, they're called 'static' but they all move at least as much as the default PS4 theme and they change all button noises and the menu music, awesome.

 

[GribbleGrunger]

Is it? I've just come off of it after looking or themes.

 

[CaptainTiptop]

With the 2.0 update it now works with the Xperia Z3, Z3 Compact and Z3 Compact tablet as well. I believe DS4s connect via bluetooth, but only to phones and not Vitas.

 

[bigbaldwolf86]

Got a link?

It's a pain on my phone. Just do what I did and they should show up.

 

[PodcastFips]

iPads, too?

I don't have an iPad, but why should it be any different? They are all managed by iTunes.

 

[Psykotik]

standby/rest mode has been working perfectly fine for me.

i've rested and resumed my PS4 over 10 times since and no issues with it freezing or anything.

 

[kyser73]

Is there any way to bring the tutorial back? I hit skip thinking it would skip to the next section...

 

[Hazaku]

I take it you guys asking about how to set the USB up for MP3 didn't have PS3s?

Nope. PSP and PS3 owner.

Just thought that the PS4 OS would be able to find media files anywhere on the selected drive like most devices nowadays. Only a minor hindrance though.

So long as it reads East Asian text in id3tags. I'm good.

Spoiler

Give me FLAC and WAV support eventually too

 

[Kysen]

Whelp looks like I won't be using that feature then. I think it was my 360 that could read the iTunes config xml on the device and instantly knew all playlists/songs. Made playing music off the device so easy.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

I was thinking of the charging thing, should have written this^^

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

As mentioned in the other thread, this just made the UFC demo playable online. So good!

 

[Upinsmoke]

My video's wont upload to youtube. anyone else have similar problems? i link my youtube account with my SEN but then it just keeps looping asking me to link accounts again.

 

[Robso]

Trying to use the USB Music Player feature and I seem to get a weird problem. When the USB is entered rather than the 'USB Music Player' popping up on the XMB I'm automatically taken to 'My Library'... anybody know why?

 

[-PXG-]

Amazon and Redbox aren't games damnit...Fix this Sony

 

[FalsettoVibe]

It will make the Fifa demo playable online too

Just because it says USB stick doesn't mean anything. Theoretically if you have a USB connected device as long as the directory is in the right place it should work. If you are jail broken you could create a /music folder on the base directory and it may work. Once I get home I will try with my android and see if that works for it at least.

 

[opticalmace]

You still needed folders set up as Photo, Music, Video & Game for the 3 to recognise the USB. This is exactly the same.

No, you could just hit triangle and click on "view all content" or whatever. I never set up folders once.
