As far as I know, it will only show for people you are Real-Name friends with.
The way streaming works is that it just sends whatever is on your screen. It can't output a different view for each person watching.

I don't think I'm making myself clear. My question is simple. If I create a custom profile pic, will it show up here...?
Prior to 1.70, if you had your camera off it just showed a placeholder image. Now it shows your PSN avatar. However, if you have a custom profile, will it show that instead? You are looking at your own screen and that's what is being broadcast after all.
Thanks.

hrmm i could test this in a moment for you, hop into http://www.twitch.tv/fyrewulff and i'll see what it does
No, it only shows your avatar. That's the public image everyone can see about you on PSN. Your profile pic doesn't show up there.
So no in-game custom soundtrack ?
You can only import music to share factory but that's it ? No way to listen your music ?
Deep Color basically allows the PS4 to output a wider color gamut (30, 36, 48 bit or billion+ colors). This theoretically results in less banding where you'd expect smooth color gradients. The vast majority of content on the PS4 only supports regular 8 bit per channel (24 bits total). Due to the way displays handle colors, however, an increase in color depth may still help in reducing banding - even with 24 bit material.
My display, a Pioneer KRP-500M, will show slight banding with a grayscale gradient with deep color off. With Deep Color enabled/automatic the gradient is completely smooth.
I'm a big fan of this one. They got rid of it for headsets as well, which was also annoying.System: No more log in screen when reconnecting the DS4
I am confused. Before 1.70, if I double tapped the share button it started recording. I was playing BF4 trying to get some footage and I double tapped it, icon in the upper right came up and everything seemed fine. Until the game finished and I quit out and then none of the clips saved. I tried it a few times. Did Sony break that feature too? Do they want nobody to share video ever? I wish I didn't have to rely on the double tap feature that ONCE worked, but because it NEVER records the last 15 minutes for me, I had to. Now neither work. GG, Sony. GG.
Double tap, for me, starts a brand new recording, but to save the recording (at any point) you can go into the Share menu and press triangle and it will save the last 15 mins/game time, without fail, every single time and start a new recording from there.
It was broken for me before hand anyway, so I don't know if that helps.
Yeah, I double tapped to start a manual recording. I now have to manually tell it I want to keep that manual recording I manually started?
i never used the double-tap before but maybe its due to how they changed how sharing works (i.e. when you go into the share menu it doesn't automatically save the video unless you explicitly tell it to do so)
that or i'm just atlking out of my ass and its broken. guess i should paly around with it so i actually know how it fucntions if i ever want to use it

I will repost here hoping Sony reads NeoGAF:
They have to fix this big problem (bug) with Optical cable and 5.1 on Games and Netflix:
- HDMI and Optical output audio at the same time, and there is no way to disable either one from doing that.
- Here is what happens: If you use HDMI for video and Optical audio, the HDMI input on your TV gets audio anyway (that's the way HDMI works).
- The HDMI Out port of PS4 handshakes with your TV and from the TV HDMI port gets the information about what audio formats it can receive/decode: TV Speakers usually receive just PCM stereo, so the PS4 is tricked into thinking you have a Stereo Setup and it gets confused.
- The only way to fix this would be to disable HDMI Audio (i don't mean turn down the volume, I mean turning completely off the decoding) on your TV. PS4 shoul give me the option to disable "HDMI Audio Out " when Optical is selected.
No. If you use the "manual start", it will save that recording when it reaches the limit you set. (default 15 min)
That's right, you just need to press SQUARE or upload video.what if you jump into the share menu before the 15 min is up? i'm assuming it creates a video up to that point thats available to save?

Who the hell came up with the idea to squeeze the comments section on streams in fullscreen mode like that? Not only is it a terrible implementation, I also go fullscreen to avoid seeing the nasty comments.
How does the automatic pre-download work for my pre-ordered games on PS4?
Select PS4 games on PlayStation Store will be available for pre-order with automatic pre-download. When purchased, these games will appear in-store with a countdown timer until theyll be ready to play. Up to several days before the game becomes available, the system will begin to download and install the game automatically and an icon for the game will be placed on your PS4s home screen with a timer showing a countdown until the content is ready to play, so you can play as soon as the content releases.
so, 16 player party chat is false?
i mean, i don't really need more than 8, just thought that they doubled it was cool.
the old bug that i had pre-1.70 was that it recorded the wrong footage when pressing the Share button, typically the start of the gaming session. Now what happens is the PS4 will simply not record the footage at all, it wont give me a Square button prompt. this varies too, and seems to work occasionally.
I'm not sure if this is the same problem or an entirely new bug. this has happened with 15 minute pre-set and the 1 minute pre-set.
last 15 mins
Seems so. Someone even pasted a screenshot of the error message filling up their notification screen (just don't tell me it was you couple of pages ago ).oh so this is a thing? i wondered why i had an error in my notifications this morning about a failed save upload
Wow...that sucks. So if I want to record my playthrough, I need to keep a timer or something?
I really hope this isn't limited to first-party titles.

I mean, it just can't record indefinitely because that would eat up way too much hard drive space.
Or stream to twitch and upload the archive to youtube. But I wish there was a way to stream privately, though. I know odds are nobody will be watching, but I'd still be more comfortable with a friends only option or something.
No it's not... It always only recorded your last 15 minutes (or was supposed to; it's buggy).That's exactly how it worked before.

This is how it's been, yeah. Not sure if the second option is limited to 15 minutes or not (though I think it is).It was my understanding that you had two options:
1) Save the last x amount of minutes (up to 15) of your gameplay. This is dependent upon you actually being in the game (not swapped out to your XMB or another app) and the amount of time you've actually been playing the game.
2) A manual record mode where you can start recording whenever you want and it will keep recording until you tell it to stop or you swap out to another app/XMB or run out of disk space.
Am I remembering this wrong?
I think it was a general PSN issue, friends lists and chatrooms were playing up last night too. Seems to be ok now.Seems so. Someone even pasted a screenshot of the error message filling up their notification screen (just don't tell me it was you couple of pages ago ).
I kinda thought more people would complain, but it either isn't widespread, or people didn't notice it. Knowing people and their (our) complaining, I'm gonna bet on "it isn't widespread".
Side note: Why does everyone keep asking for "folders"? Folders would look completely out of place on this UI. They already have a good system in place with the Library, they just need to further develop it with sorting options and the ability to hide/remove items such as demos, Betas, and apps that already have their own Apps Library.
