Support NeoGAF

[jwk94]

Will PS TV support media servers or DLNA support in order to stream videos or movies from a home PC?
The Network Media Player (coming soon to PS TV and PS Vita) can be used to access media servers over a network. The Network Media Player can be used to view photos and stream music and videos from a media server located on your home network. You can also copy photos, music and video files from the media server to your system.

Interestingly enough, the US Blog post doesn't mention this.

Hopefully before the launch I guess, but then they just added a bunch of PS TV stuff to the firmware

That's a good question.

No mention of the PS4?

 

[SictorVullivan]

Hopefully that means it's a part of FW 2.0 on the PS4.

Spoiler

It wont be.

And for good reason.
Reason to own a PSTV just shot up drastically though. Much more confidence in my preorder now.

If it was there at launch, I might pre-order one. I'll get one once it's added tho.

DLNA is the single feature that will make me get one. It would be so awesome to have such a small portable device as a media player.

Now we are talking.

They've been adding features quite quick...themes last week, sub accounts apparently?, now suddenly PS Now will be there at launch too. Hopefully soon is like day one patch or not much later.

Sony announced DLNA support for Vita before the handheld even launched. I guess it's taken them nearly three years ...

It sounds like this is an app you launch. If this is the case I have to imagine PS4 support can't be much farther out.

Nice! They really need this if they're going to position it as an appleTV/roku alternative

Everything on the Vita (including the settings) is an app you launch.
