PS4 System Update 1.70 is Live

It's there for me - just tried it.
Weird. Maybe it was a glitch or something. The console in general was being weird; was downloading shareroom and the bar under the icon was way behind the progress in the downloads section and the love from playstation app wouldn't load any streams.
 
Is it still not possible to quickly "trim" a captured video without initiating the upload process? For example, I have 10 Infamous: Second Son clips that I've captured. I want to quickly edit out parts of these videos. Previously, the only way to do this was to press the "share" button when watching the video, then trim it, then cancel out of uploading to Facebook. It would be nice to be able to trim videos quickly without having to initiate an upload.

you can hit Share, press Square to save a clip and head right back into the game. i guess you can do this all day long and then go and trim footage after your done with the session.

So some people here said the OS is even faster now (loading what's new section / store / trophies), can some more people confirm this?

the store, What'sNew, and other UI elements seem quicker.

Stupid question, but where is the option to sort the trophies?

I wish the videos were a little less compressed, just viewing one on my computer ( they're no different than watching them on your ps4) share factory interface is pretty good IMO.

Here are a few direct comparisons of the same screenshots uploaded to Facebook and copied to a USB stick:

Trials Fusion: Facebook / USB
Infamous SS: Facebook / USB
AC IV: Facebook / USB

You can definitely see some more pronounced compression artifacts in the Facebook uploads if you look closely, but I wouldn't exactly call it a drastic difference. It's probably more obvious with videos, I'd guess.
 
Had to kill my stream due to two of my kids just woke up and joined me in the living room, sorry.

Darn, I was enjoying the quality. I wish you had archived the stream so I could at least post the VOD showing that the new 720p streaming was actually working well. You just need a decent upload speed to utilize it.

Not that big of an improvement. There is an improvement if you blow the pictures up and look at them side-by-side, but honestly they're pretty much the same when simply glancing at them.

Has this update fixed the erratic share button functionality? Ie, definitely recording the last 15?

I never had any issues with this. It just wouldn't record for you at all? I always just open the share menu and go to upload video clip, and the last 15 minute clip (Or whatever time since the prior 15 or uploaded clip) would always be there. You can't record a new clip or it will delete it. Just have to go to the menu after something awesome happened.
 
Not here there isn't.

Oh you . You are on US right?

Main PSN page. Go down to apps. Scroll over to open the tiled list. Scroll all the way to the right. Open All Apps. ShareFactory is right there. Open and download.

I did it just now to make sure it wasn't moved or something since I got it there.

I'm sure the front page will be updated soon anyway announcing its arrival

The new friend request interface is really nice. Now you can accept requests, and see the messages sent with them, right from the request list. No more going into the person's profile, bringing up the request, waiting for the message to load, and then accepting it.

Yep.

I'm in Europe. We don't have New, Indie, FTP, DLC sections either. The store is absolute junk here.

I might be blind, but I'm not seeing any difference at all between pics of the first two games. And the links for AC IV both link to the same pic.

Wait, why did it capture the screenshot notification icon? Has it always done that?

Happens if you mash the screenshot button. The Screenshot notification appears and shows up in subsequent screenshots, until it disappears.

It's not an issue if you're not trying to take rapid screens, but there really should be an option to have the sound notification only.

Can anyone use their capture cards with their PS4 now when they previously couldn't? I'm still getting audio only, even after turning off HDCP.
 
^^^^ with those codecs Sharefactory can also work as a neat PS4 gif creator, kinda.

Cut your scene to a few seconds, add some text or whatever, upload, directly link the *.mp4 and GAF users with the webm script can watch them embed+looped :D

On the Trials pic you can definitely see some differences if you look closely. There are more compression artifacts in certain areas of the FB upload. But yeah, you really have to look for them. Fixed the AC IV link.

I don't know if anyone's observed this, but my TV just registered my newly upgraded firmware 1.7 PS4 as sending a 12 bit HDMI signal to the TV.

It never did that before - and does with my PS3. Perhaps another hidden firmware improvement?
 
the quality even at 720p seems slightly lower if you watch a stream on Live from Playstation rather then a PC and the website. That or my monitor sucks compared to TV

Umm.. was system multi session before?
If you change user from Shut down menu the previous user stays loggeg.

Edit: I mean, with one controller.

When you close an application it tells you if another user started it:

And I think the Download Status info is new:

Yup, Deep Colour support was added, defaults to automatic.

Deep Colour Output's been added to Video Output Settings. :)
