Where is the stream thread?

Also, is it normal that there is like a 5-minute delay on my Twitch when I'm broadcasting live in say Call of Duty: Ghosts?

Does the PS4 track your time played on any given game? There doesn't really seem to be much by way of information on the dash.

Also, can I remove free to play junk from my library? I've uninstalled the games but they remain in the library. In fact, the library itself seems pretty crap. Ass Creed V is in there because I have some DLC downloaded or something, but my other retail games aren't. Pressing it takes me to the PSN store to buy Ass Creed even though I already own it on BluRay. What's that about?

What goes in the "Library" Folder at the end? There's nothing in mine.

Your digitally bought games.

I have two PSN accounts / users set up on my PS4. My Aussie one, which was my main PS3 account. And my US one, which is my PSP/Vita one. I'll use the US one as my primary account.

I have two digital games. Resogun (free with my PS+ on my US account) and Flower (free with cross buy on my AU account). The library only shows the games for that account, not the games on the console like on the PS3. That will be annoying once I have more game in each account, as I'll have sign in as that user to find certain games.

Couldn't get Warframe loaded last night. Screen just went black after I started the app. Also DCU didn't want to work either. Had the music playing in the back but black screen. Had to turn my PS4 off and restart to get them working. Knack was funny like that the other day also.

Anyone else experience stuff like this?

Warframe was nutty last night; had all sorts of issues that I've never had before. Hopefully they're sorted today.

That's strange. When my girlfriend logged in, the library had my Flower along with Resogun and Contrast in there. Basically everything on the console. Both accounts are EU though.

Hmmm I'm sure Flower and Resogun aren't in there. They are just on the line with everything else. I'll check again though because I have 2 accounts too.

Primary accounts share the licenses to all of the other accounts.

For anyone still looking, larger Sainsbury's stores will be receiving more consoles at some point on Wednesday, no idea how many though.

Just found out my PS4 is made in China while my friends is made in Japan, we are both located in Scandinavia. Gulp, hopefully it won't break. =p

This is exactly how the PS3 worked.

I know that! I'm saying it's strange because it wasn't working like that for the guy above!

Anyway, setting a "primary account" - I was under the impression that you were setting a primary PS4 for your account rather than a primary account for your PS4. Therefore both my Mrs' account and mine are "primary".

Edit: Been doing some reading. Is it right that as a Plus subscriber, my girlfriend can login with her non-Plus PSN account and play online because it is my primary system and I subscribe? An I reading that right? Basically, we don't both have to buy Plus?

Hmm, I know I did that for my main US account, but don't remember doing that for my AU account. Maybe that's why Flower wasn't showing up in the library.

Thanks!

Yeah... there's a bulge in the plastic between the gap at the bottom (when standing vertically). It's only really noticeable when you run your finger along it. I didn't notice/see it when I first got the PS4 so I'm not sure if it was always like that, or if it got hot and melted thanks to standing it vertically without the proper stand.

Edit: Just found out its the norm; saw in a disassembly video that it's where the fan is sticking out a little.

I get a crash whenever I cycle through my Killzone screenshots... I don't know why. And it happens every time. I have to go super slow.
Click to expand...

Yeah I've been crashing when cycling through screens too, but to be fair I've always been in game when it happens and it's not a giant deal, that only started recently too. I'd still love to know if anyone's fixed the share error though, as it's incredibly annoying for me.

Well, today I picked up a Killzone bundle from our very own mrklaw which I gave to my brother as a gift. He was really shocked and happy and even more so when he remembered that Resogun was part of PS+. Loves that game!

Big thanks to mrklaw for being cool with the payment too, let me walkout and do the bank transfer later because I cocked up the online stuff on my phone.

Happy to see another PS4 go to someone who genuinely wanted one with no scalping in sight.

Guys , in the info bit when you pres down at at a games icon , what's meant to be in "recent activities" and "related items"

Are these blank in the US and EU ?


Edit: and why can't I view the video clips my friends have posted , it's just a blue screen with a video and arrow icon ?

Is there any way I can test left and right speakers with the PS4? No YouTube app and no in UI test option is making it impossible to know if I've got my left and right set up accurately...

Could also be growing pains as the feature was JUST turned back on. Things are populating for me here now.
Click to expand...

Figures , I'm just looking at UI videos now and I can't see anything in related or recent in the drop down for games.

Any US GAF confirm how it works for you guys ?

Edit : saw how its meant to work on YouTube , I guess it's not fully back on yet

If they're hooked up to a receiver there should be a test tone mode.

Ok just was just showing off some games to my brother when I closed application for Call Of Dury Ghosts, and proceeded to eject disc from the controller. Than the console would not accept any discs. I tried to put Assassins Creed BF in the console and it would spit it straight out. Than we could hear the drive keep trying to eject the disc like it had a disc inside. It went on for about 5 minutes. Strangely I pulled the console out and flipped it vertical an the console beeped like I was pressing the eject button, which I didn't, am than it worked. Should I be worrie or has anybody else seen anything like this? The console has been fine and has been heavily played for around 2 weeks with no problems

I have a question about the internet browser, I've noticed that when I go full screen the borders of the pages are cut off. I've tried to change the screen size for the apps through the settings but it doesn't seem affect the internet browser.
It this a known bug or a problem with my TV?

Need a few suggestions, guys! So I have KZ right now. SP was boring as hell. And MP is ehh. But anyway, I asked my folks to buy me AC4, BF4, Injustice and another DS4. I asked for Injustice cause I want a game I can play with friends. But I'm open to any other suggestions. Would replacing Injustice with CoD be a good move? Although I really enjoy it, I suck at Injustice. Haha!

Hey, does anyone know what kind of power cable the PS4 uses? I need to replace mine, but I don't know what replacement cable I can use without repercussions.

Does anyone here use an Astro headset with the wireless mixamp 5.8 and the PS4? I am trying to figure out how to get chat audio to the headset. I thought I could get chat audio from the controller like I did on the 360 controller and game audio from the optical port of the PS4. But I have some astro guy online telling me I have to buy some usb chat cable?

Anyone not really liking the build quality of the PS4, curious?
Click to expand...

I don't like the build quality of the controller. It feels plastic-y and is squeeking. It also seems like the console itself can break any moment and already have scratches all over the glossy part.

I'm more "insecure" with PS4 than I were the 360, which seems weird.
