It takes maybe 20 seconds to get up and running once you launch the Vita app. I have no problem with how long it is now, but if they make it quicker, I'm game.

What I'm really after is custom soundtrack support. DLNA is only a means to that end, though I also appreciated the PS3 as a music player with its nifty visualizer.

So now we can export our MP3s to the PS4, reproduce them in sharefactory and add them to our shared videos.
Even though it is said nowhere, given the information in my previous sentence, I suppose that should mean that we can play the MP3s stored in our PS4. And I hope that it won't be too much to ask to be able to do show while playing games...
I just want MP3 to happen so much... please Soony

Yes, I am sure they were debating on whether to create Uncharted 4 or use the man power to create an icon.
Come on.

I've never had any of those issues with DLNA. The quality has always been great, and the experience smooth. I'd take DLNA over any of these new features as well.

hope there are undocumented fixes like the optical toslink 5.1 issue with netflix
Yeah now that one guy on my friendlist who doesn't have Plus can be outed as a cheapskate and peasant. Thank you Sony for listening!
Nope. It's a pretty good update imo.
PS3 media server and a router that supports 500mb works flawlessly for me. Stable 1080p, 5.1 DTS streaming. Never a problem. Its your equipment.

If they added sign-out notifications I would be fine with the separate lists.
Still "All" list should be organized by last online.
Hate having to scroll past 20+ people that haven't been on in days, weeks, months just to message someone that signed out 5 minutes ago.

Why can't dim be off?
Why can't we upload straight to youtube?
Where the fuck is the resume game feature promised since before release?
Hdcp probably affects 1% of users...

The touchpad has also been updated, allowing you to navigate the on-screen keyboard using the DUALSHOCK 4 touchpad.

Now you can just throw your video onto a usb drive, plug into your PC, then upload that direct to Youtube. I know thats like ... a minute longer then just a direct upload but it is getting close.
Well there was that MP3 player leak a few days ago. Stealth feature?
We had animated backgrounds in the PS3 and in the PS4 we can't even change the damn background color
This is pretty useless without them implementing a Swype like solution for typing. I can do this with my android phone linked to my PS4, why can't I just do it on the DS4 touchpad?!?!
Without this I'm pretty sure I can type just as fast clicking R3 and using the gyro typing.
Yeah I think it's a solid update. People will like it if their into the social aspects and some will find it useless if they don't bother using them features. I guess they will release another update around E3.
Ah yes, the amount of effort that went into making that happen was absolutely MASSIVE!
The update is big and there's no doubt about that. Far from poor.
It's just that,for some people,other missing features like games folder, custom wallpapers, mp3 and video playback from USB, DLNA, suspend/resume, full Youtube support are more important and should take the precedence.
I hope that they can make an other big update around E3 time with Playstation Now support, most of the missing features stated above and possibly the rumored emulators for PS1/PS2 games on the store.
I'm really disappointed. Not interested in any of this social stuff. Really, if I want to see game videos, I'll visit one of the multitude of YouTube channels that are devoted to sharing gameplay. This update is for them, not me.

Probably not. But if they're at the point of testing it on employees' "real" PS4s that means it'll probably be in for next firmware update.
HDCP probably also takes 1% of the dev time it takes to implement the suspend/resume feature.
If they have the time to include minor things like that, they should have included things like pausing/prioritizing downloads and friend online notifications.
Yes. HDCP is mandatory for DVD/Blu-Ray playback, so having it disabled for games means that it will need to be enabled/disabled when switching between activities. This will most likely be done automatically by the PS4, but will still cause an extra delay with blanked screen when the display is reinitialized for the changed HDCP mode.
I use PlayStation Media Server on my MacBook Pro (which works via DLNA) to stream video content to my PS3, and it's great. It'll sometimes have issues when I get file types that need major transcoding or that are big, but for the most part, it works very well.
Did you try media streaming over a wireless network? If so, that might be the issue. I run everything via ethernet, so it's got a far more stable connection.

Yay!
- USB Export Option for Captured Gameplay (though I was hoping they would let us save uncompressed PNGs like on PS3...)
Good to have I guess...
- SHAREfactory
- Automatic Pre-download
- allowing you to navigate the on-screen keyboard using the DUALSHOCK 4 touchpad (have to use it first though, it would need top be a sort of swype thing to be useful)
- PayPal support.
- launch the apps installed on your PS4 with the sound of your voice.
I don't care:
- The rest.
Overall usability has not increased much with this update, it's kinda full of gimmicks.
but maybe... STEALTH UPDATES...
(they left out the jp stuff btw, so this is not a complete list technically )
edit: no mention of custom avatars via the PSapp either and we know that's in, too
The mp3 app can be released anytime I guess, it will just hook into the existing ingame music thing. Don't really care though, at the moment I just make a new free Music Unlimited sub every month
I hope Suspense Resume won't have a year delay like DriveClub... have they even mentioned it recently?
Else my main wanted feature is DLNA, as I still have to use the PS3 for that. I guess it can be forgiven if it's really that new yet to be finished DLNA thing.
No local media support so far is weak though, especially if all codecs are there.
Oh and no update to the Blu-ray player is kinda shitty, too. I don't have a 3DTV, but I would at least want them to make the player not stop completely when going to the OS...

New DUALSHOCK 4 Options: New light bar settings have been added for DUALSHOCK 4, allowing you to change it to Bright, Medium or Dim in the Settings menu. The touchpad has also been updated, allowing you to navigate the on-screen keyboard using the DUALSHOCK 4 touchpad.
This is awesome, if will make typing a lot easier... I hope!

You can already do this with any mic right? Or are they adding capabilities only for the camera's mic?

i can understand why you want this since it sounds like you have large friends list. however i respectfully disagree with this. what if i want to just send a random message to someone who is offline. for example now that mobile app supports push i want to message someone to sign on and play. i don't care when they were last online. i can argue that having it sorted out of order for me makes it harder for me to eyeball and find someone quickly.
so yeah...more sorting options are ideal.
You probably won't ever see that. Amazon Prime is exclusive to Amazon's Fire devices in the portable space.

Nice update. Some of you whine too much.
Amazon prime is on iOS devices.
It's just not on Android devices for whatever reason. Although you can install flash and use a browser like Dolphin to just access it from the website directly.
I'm an alphabetical person. I cannot stand Sony's love for "sort by use", and sorting my friends list by last online would drive me up a wall.
But, the one thing I always go back to is this: More options > Less options
You should be able to go to that list, hit Option, and select how you want it sorted.

Um, have you ever compared the size of the lights on the two controllers. Unsurprisingly, the one that is 100x bigger seems to be the one getting the complaints.

Waah? No. It's on iOS.
