may I ask if the share button is fixed in 2.0?
Or am I too much of an idiot to understand how it works?
I hit the share button and never, I MEAN NEVER, have the last 15 minutes of video has been recorded for me. Only if i double tap the share button to initiate the recording it usually get's it right. But when i continue to a new video recording the old one vanishes even if I enter the share menu and press square.
It's almost a year since launch and i haven't enjoyed this much touted feature from sony.

no one seems to be able to figure whats causing this. i know some people who have never experienced it...some that experience it sometimes, and some all the time.
i've run into the issue every now and then. the last time was before destiny launched though. no one knows until 2.0 comes out. let's hope for more stability

I use to have intermittent issues but it seems to have been fixed with one of the latest patches. So I have easy screenshot enabled, I hold the share button during gameplay and click "upload video" and it saves the last 15 minutes which I can then upload or modify it when I feel like it as it stores that clip permanently.
Someone else posted earlier that supposedly has access to more in depth patch notes that it was apparently fixed in the 1.75 firmware, but only for games released after 1.75. So anything released before then will still have iffy functionally, which makes it sound like it might have been an SDK problem if it had a chance of breaking on all pre 1.75 games. So hopefully it isn't some we have to worry about going forward anymore, and should work on anything released from the beginning of August.

Oh okay I didnt knew that, all my games are launch titles so this must explain my problems. I hope once I use a new game the share feature will work just right.
Yeah. Wonder what that could be?
You hit the share button, then you'll see save video at the bottom then you hit square.

I did mention I hit sqaure once in the share menu.
If you're seeing save video it should be saving the last 15 min when you hit square. I don't know what to tell you it's worked great for me.
Also, understand that if you exit the game(such as go to the dashboard) or open the share menu without saving, a new clip will start and the unsaved clip will be lost.
Same here.
Yeah, this is gaming's equivalent of "but I have a black/asian/latino/whatever friend!"
We're all human beings, with preferences. One can have all 3 consoles and still like one of them more than the others, so saying you have the other competing console does nothing to prevent fanboyism.

I Didnt knew this either, but as mentioned before I still think the problem lies with my games as they are launch titles.

I have tested this a bit and from what I found this is how it works. If you're playing and press the PS button to go the menu the recording will pause and once you go back to the game it will resume so when you watch the recorded video you'll see it skipped the part when you were at the Menu.
If you take a quick screenshot in the game, the recording will continue as normal and when you watch the video you wont see the icon that comes when you take a screen.
Now when you enter the Share menu is when stuff happens, If you just enter the Share menu and go back if I remember it's just pauses. But if you enter the Share menu and save/upload a screenshot, whatever video recorded to that point will be thrown away and it will start over once you go back to the game. Same thing happens if you save/upload a video. So, enter the Share menu and save anything no matter if it's a screen or video, just saving is enough, the PS4 will start recording from 0 once you go back to the game.
I tested all this playing FFXIV which I know works everytime with Share, games that have the Share bug have many other problems.
I love seeing that other people are playing FFXIV. What server?

Here are a few more voice commands including going to trophies. Hopefully most of these can be used in game.

I've been trying to use the share button for the past week, playing Rogue Legacy, fighting the remixed bosses, and it has not worked once. Literally not once. It either records like 15 seconds or the square prompt to save the clip will not show up. It's fucking infuriating that they have a button dedicated to this on the controller and it doesn't even work.

Another thing that needs to be fixed. Someone sent me a voice message last night and it would not load unless I quit to the dashboard. The messaging system in general is so bad, how long it takes for messages to populate.

Interesting "Take Screenshot" is a very nice addition. Wonder if we will get "Record Gameplay" or something similar?
works perfectly with destiny... always saves my last cool sparrow stunts or crucible match... perfectly. other games? iono i dont play much other games, or at least save video for other games. but it does with new games how its supposed to.
Take Screenshot has been there since day 1.
I feel like screenshot and video commands have been around since the beginning. maybe I'm misremembering.
Where is this screenshot from on IGN? Is it related to this firmware update?I love seeing that other people are playing FFXIV. What server?

I ask because "Start Friends" seems new and that could be very useful.
"Playstation, Take screenshot" actually already works now.
It's from a ign news video talking about share play I believe.

LOL, shows how much I use the voice commands. THanks for the heads up.

Well these are all shortcuts to the menu above, not particularly useful.
btw. instead of showing the title of the game/app for voice commands now, they should give you an audio sample because for some games I just don't know how to pronounce it correctly as a non-native speaker ^^
The one voice command I want but still isn't in this update is "Eject disc" :/
Likely smaller updates not worth a separate blog post. I imagine they are things that you won't notice right away.

I think with all the people complaining about Sony taking so long to release 2.0, they pushed 2.0 to the 28th and decided to save the other features that were supposed to be announced for the next firmware update.
Sony usually doesn't post the most complete change log until the day before (Monday). I wouldn't expect anything big. Just things like appear offline or hit PS button to see the trophy you earned.

I would say those are pretty big.
(At least in the sense that people have been begging for them for years)
It's definitely subjective. By the look of this thread there are tons of people that consider this update small because they aren't getting the feature they want. For me, I'm super happy to be getting a follow button in live from Playstation and YouTube sharing.

I just hope the PS4 gets better when it comes to data corruption. I've had to reset everything as often I get corrupted data that makes it spin a lot more,

As for custom themes, I just want a wide variety of super heroes and other licensed content.

Yeah I feel for you brother it just doesn't work
The only thing that intrest me is how it will work once I'll try a non launch title game.
A poster here said that games launched since August should work fine.
There already is voice commands for recording gameplay.
This reddit link has a list of tested voice commands: http://www.reddit.com/r/PS4/comments/25o1u0/list_of_tested_playstation_4_voice_commands/
I mean, assuming you can use them anywhere on the PS4 OS it's pretty handy. Save a few clicks are navigation by just saying "Playstation, Start Trophies."

Yeah that would be more useful, but not all commands are available at all times. It's interesting that they included "Start" in the same command, for games you say it afterwards. Could mean you can say it within a game instead of having to say "home screen" first.

It's quite possible it goes live in about 36 hours.
Usually it's late in the night ~2AM PDT.

Is that shopped? Has shadows...can't be shopped?
Around midday Japan time. Should be out in under 36 hours from now.
