Still no 3d bluray. How about Sony ball parks a time that the ps4 will be able to do the things that the ps3 was capable of?

 

[davepoobond]

You're missing out on some pretty good games, then:

http://community.us.playstation.com...N-Games-with-Custom-Soundtracks/td-p/31099592

yeah, like 3.

the ones i do have haven't even been opened yet.

 

[TetraGenesis]

I bet this update will fix that issue.

I hope so. But it's unnerving that they didn't mention it. They know how much of a problem it's been for users.

 

[BigSpleenAttack]

I honestly hope they give the option to turn it off wheb it does.

I pretty sure its going to be a buggy inconsistent mess.

?? Why?

 

[coolasj19]

The problem with this attitude is that we're at FW 1.7 and the PS4 is still lacking features that the PS3 has. That's something to not be ok with.

We've been through this before. That is an unreasonable expectation. Different architectures, different codebases, different everything. How you want software engineering to work, and how it actually works, are completely at odds. Maybe next generation, if we continue with same architecture upgrades, is when you can expect this stuff to carryover. Before we get some relatively obscure playback features, how about we get the patching system that requires you to download every past patch along with the one you're applying. I want things that'll improve my interaction with my games first.

Archiving streams is all that I really needed. The streaming is useless for me without allowing that, and it should have been there to begin with. Exporting records to usb is great though, and will be useful.

Seems as simple as choosing "Close Application" before you shut it off.
2 seconds.

 

[KageMaru]

Another feature I'd like for them to add is you showing up as away when the screensaver turns on. I've had people assume I was ignoring their invites when I was really away from the television.

Also the automatic shut down feature seems very inconsistent. I have it set to shut off after an hour, but sometimes I'll wake up in the morning and the system is still on.

 

[Sami+]

Fucking finally with the twitch archives and export to USB, lol. Happy they're here.

DCUO dev somewhat confirmed that they are working with Sony on a patch for this to be released in April: https://forums.station.sony.com/dcuo/index.php?threads/an-update-on-playstation-4-patching.189911/

 

[RedAssedApe]

720p streaming and archiving will be nice.

But the bump in quality won't help that many people seeing as a lot of people currently don't even seem to even have the necessary upload speed to hit 540p. Their connections are still going to be ass and by extension their streams as well.

 

[Loudninja]

So preload coming to the PS4 in April?

@EricRovtar @epsilonomega No preload on PS4 until April and for North America, the PS Store will update at midnight PST…so 3am EST.

I wouldn't be surprised if that fix is included in this update. The ETA for the new patching system was April and this update seems to be coming out sometime in April.

 

[IAmRandom31]

Good to see they are quickly addressing the exporting of captures! Love that. Can finally start to get some higher quality uploads without jumping through hoops.

Peoples reactions though, holy shit.

 

[Jomjom]

I wonder what the "more" entails. Hopefully we get some good surprises.

 

[RedAssedApe]

hopefully ui improvements but those are probably less sexy to post.

gimme hbogo app!

 

[Lyonaz]

Does that HDCP thing means my cheap hdmi switch will work with the PS4?

 

[dantevsninjas]

I really wish they'd focus on getting the suspend/resume feature in. That was one of my most anticipated features of this gen, and I'd like to see that happen well before other, more fringe features are addressed.

 

[MegamanNG]

Guess I can now finally get my hands on an HDMI capture device so I can do PS4 games.

 

[Infinite Xero]

I wonder what the "more" entails. Hopefully we get some good surprises.

I'm hoping for MP3 playback/a native media player for videos, music, and photos.

 

[FranXico]

I really want Suspend/Resume to take priority.

It's big enough of a feature for them to want to show it off at E3, I speculate.

 

[J-Rzez]

Out of curiosity, is streaming via the PS4 different in how it handles it (compression, etc) than PC forms? What speeds are we talking for uploading on it compared to PC if so?

 

[DodgerSan]

Speaking of updates, does everyone's PS4 make some really unnerving clicking noises when it updates, or just mine?

Also, where is "pause downloads" in this update?

 

[alr1ght]

it should work now, as long as your display device supports HDCP.

 

[SHADES]

That's correct, you'll be able to use the video editor on the PS4 and then export it to USB, it seems. Then do whatever you want with that video file.

Of course using a capture card and proper editing program would be the better option as it would give you total control over every step in the process and more robust editing.

Thank you, I'll at least experiment with it now before shelling out on an elgato.

I get those clicking noises on my PS4 as well.

Yeah my PS4 works fine with my 4x2 from Monoprice (after I replaced some 5+ year old cables I bought for a buck a piece with decent cables).

 

[Pimpwerx]

If the light bar dimming doesn't happen, I'm gonna hate the op forever. PEACE.

 

[Ape]

Really cool to see some added features. Maybe an obscure feature or two but this is definitely a start.

 

[Boke1879]

So preload coming to the PS4 in April?

https://twitter.com/SuckerPunchProd/status/446362096096116736

If preloading does come in April I may just go all digital very soon.

 

[Chabbles]

720p streams? Awesome. They're ~600p now, right?

Really curious about the video editor too. I wonder how "rich" it'll be.

Certainly not as rich as PC video software, that we'll all have the options to use since we'll be able to export our vids and pics to usb either way.

 

[simplythebest]

Just give me controller sharing.

 

[Olaf]

Streaming right now isn't even 720p?

What the fuck? They referring to the user streaming, or watching streams? Or both?

 

[Dead Prince]

wonder if there's to the feature or just working hard to get it working or having trouble which is why the silence.

streaming is 540p

 

[Van Owen]

When is that instant resume coming?

 

[Hoho for breakfast]

Well nothing I'm interested in but it's good to hear they're doing something.

 

[IncandescentPrecept]

Looks like that avforum guy was legit.

 

[JrBaconCheeseburger]

I love my PS4 but how is it PS3 is a much better Bluray /Media Device ???


I do not understand but i wait patiently

 

[Batzi]

YES! YES! YES!

 

[Killthee]

Streaming right now isn't even 720p?

What the fuck? They referring to the user streaming, or watching streams? Or both?

Broadcasting via the share button is capped at 540p right now so any stream you watch via Live from PS won't be higher than 540p.

Xbox One streams 1280x720, 30 fps, ~2.5 Mbps on Twitch, For comparison, PS4 streams 960x540, 30 fps ~1.7 Mbps.

 

[RedAssedApe]

Out of curiosity, is streaming via the PS4 different in how it handles it (compression, etc) than PC forms? What speeds are we talking for uploading on it compared to PC if so?

2.5Mbps for Xbone
1.7Mbps for PS4

I think PC can do 1080p/30 if you are able to do ~3.5Mbps up

 

[billy323]

Yeah 720p streaming in this would have been cool as well but I take what I can get.

It says they are adding 720p streaming in the blog post

 

[Dragon]

It says they are adding 720p streaming in the blog post

In a later update.

 

[HueyFreeman]

Media functionality will require a pretty big overhaul - I'm sure that's not coming until 2.0, I'm not sure why people are expecting any different. The fucking UI at this point essentially has no external media compatibility what so ever, discs aside. It's actually pretty insane.

 

[billy323]

In a later update.

oops my mistake. sorry

 

[CvGz]

Sony isn't totally asleep at the wheel, just yesterday I encountered the thread about everyone being tired of stability updates while the Xbone has been receiving monthly features.

I'd expect media would just be in a separate app, since Music Unlimited can supply background music as a separate app it should be fine.

 

[Melchiah]

you’ll also be able to export to and save the videos and screenshots you create by pressing the SHARE button to a USB drive.

Yes! One of my wishes comes true.

 

[Cess007]

I always wondered what would be the minimal requirement for streaming. I've half a MB here in Mexico, so i always assumed no way i could stream with that.

 

[Chucker]

Now of the stuff left on the checklist, whats left?

For me, it's DLNA, MP3, and 3D Blu Support. Then done!

Edit: Oooh Suspend/Resume too

Same as my list.
