My PS4 only records 15 minutes of video and then never starts the process over. Does anyone know how to fix this? I hate when I do something after the initial 15 minutes and the footage isn't there.

Still without luck
You know what I'd like an update for? The PlayStation store telling me to sign up for ps+ at every fucking turn EVEN THOUGH I AM SUBSCRIBED ALREADY.

it's quite annoying <_<
 
Until your drive gets full. Because the file sizes will only increase from here on up.

The game is completely installed anyway, so you are not saving space, just limiting yourself when it comes to having the disc in the tray, and that affects remote play greatly.

A disc is basically a huge USB drive now, so you can save time when it comes to installing instead of downloading a game.

I went from disc only to 50-50 last gen, and now 75-25 in favor of digital purchases.

Solid update, For me all I want is to be able to watch my shows from a hard drive on the PS4 and to be able to manage my Vita content on the PS4 still can not believe this is unavailable.

No i agree. I only have one disc game (AC4) and the rest are all DD (Infamous, BF4, PS+ Collection ). I meant going digital either way will eventually take a toll on the hdd. Im hoping to get a bigger hdd since im heading the same way digitally.

When/if they add Custom Soundtrack support, it needs to not be as clunky as the Xbox 360. The way I remember was you could only rip CD's, and then those tracks got lumped into 'Unknown Album mm/dd/yy hh:mm:ss' or something along those lines. I want to organize as I see fit, or at least have it grouped based on the metadata info (artist or album).

The new install system allows for saving space though, because if you delete the game data it only takes a couple of minutes to re-install the needed parts before you can play again. Download sizes are much bigger on PS4 while (effective) install times are actually shorter, making it less of a hassle to delete&re-install disc games.

Fantastic news. Now just up the quality of screenshots and maybe video too and we would be golden.



Well. Also fix share recording the wrong moments. I have missed so many amazing moments in BF4 because I recorded the wrong section.
 
Good to see some news on this front, finally!

The fact that the PS3 is still a better media box is a bit weird to me. I know the mantra was 'gaming first' but with the bare bones state of the launch os I can't help but think that was code for 'half baked'.

I go back to my PS3 time and time again for the simple things PS4 is missing.

When will they fix the sound on Netflix? I've tried everything and still only get 2.0 on PS4!

Are you using DTS or Bitstream/PCM sound? I only get stereo under those output modes, but if I choose Dolby Digital, I get 5.1 sound. What I really wish they'd fix is how the video in the PS4 app needs 45 seconds to get up to 1080p and how even then the image is soft and the blacks are crushed.

I've tried every sound option, and tried them using both HDMI and optical. On PS3 and 360 5.1 works fine. I use 360 for Netflix now, but I would rather use PS4 because I think the app (besides the sound) is slightly superior.

Launch Netflix app on ps4, then use your smartphone/tablet to search for something and 'airplay' it to the PS4. I rarely use the actual console UI except for play/pause

Possible E3 announcement? All of these very appealing to me.

Sony&#8217;s latest PlayStation survey indicates that the company is planning to introduce a reputation system. The survey also highlights other features that Sony may be working towards. Some of the other features mentioned are invisibility, advanced matchmaking, ability to change PSN usernames and more.

The survey focuses on the would be reputation system by asking PlayStation members about how they would like it to work, and how they would rank their PlayStation Network community experience. It is possible that Sony is working on a reputation system much like the one announced by Microsoft.

You can start the recording whenever you're ready by double tapping the share button. An icon will appear in the top right to let you know, double tap again to end or once to share right away. Not helpful for spur of the moment stuff but a good tip to know.

Hopefully we'll get all of those features and they are only using this survey as a way to prioritize them. I didn't get the survey but I'd mark very appealing for all of them.

And yeah, that video recording bug needs to be fixed asap as it just plain doesn't work the way it's suppose to. I don't even bother with it anymore since it never has the clip I want.

I would say the Netflix app on PS4 is perfect, except for the fact it doesn't have a 'play from start' option so if you want to start a film again you have to scroll all the way back to the beginning :(
 
So.. custom soundtracks is this something other players can hear?

Nope. It's for games that support it - typically ones that don't have much in the way of music design, like racing games, sports games etc - that lets you listen to your own music in game. The sound is all local, it just replaces the in-game music. You wouldn't want to do it for something like The Last of Us.

For what it is worth, I heard that this update is coming out April 8. I'm not an insider, but I heard this from someone that I believe has the knowledge to know. Just posting this for the sake of discussion, don't want to give false hopes.

So, is today the day?

Seems both 1.60 and 1.62 were released on a Tuesday.

On the other hand, I think the blogs said they'd be announcing more details/features of the update before release, right?

EDIT: Directed to this from here.

This update must be big if they don't want to blame themselves. MS released a lot of updates in the last months while Sony did nothing except adding support for some headsets and of course dat "stability".

It's funny how MS is the one doing monthly updates now and Sony in taking months just for 1. I don't know why people were complaining last Gen about the PS3 always getting updates.
