PS4 Update 2.50 Yukimura Preview: Suspend/Resume and More

Half of this shit won't even be released 12 months from now.
I'd like to mark items in the playstation store to let me know when they go on sale. Like a watch list. For instance I'd like to buy Super Stardust on PS4 but not until it's on sale for like 9.99. It would be awesome if i could just tap options when i have it selected and add it to a watchlist.

Last generation I was all over DNLA. This generation I have a Chromecast.

Sorry if this was asked before, but what's the ETA on this update!?
Actually, I'll be super happy if that means half of it will be released in the next 12 months.
In reality, I don't see most of these ever happening.
I really don't understand this argument at all, Microsoft push feature updates out on a more regular basis yes, but what difference does it make when they are all features Sony implemented 6 months ago?
You'd rather be playing catch up rather than getting brand new features every once in a while?

Blog update says "Soon" so I'd expect this month.
Seems like a really solid patch overall, now I can get rid of the Welcome Park trophy on my list.
Yep. Plex + Chromecast is soooooo much better than DLNA
The other account was basically my older "local" account, my current main account is a US account (it has been my main for a few years), I don't think I need to mention the benefits of using a US account.
The problem is that I have a lot of trophies in my old account, the lack of Uncharted & Dark Souls in my current account is driving the OCD in me crazy, I can live without the other trophies like Fallout, but not having UC & DS in my trophy list is unacceptable, especially since I've already earned them.
I kinda got over it after getting the PS4, but the remove 0% games feature made me want that feature more.
If they did the "Merge Accounts" feature, that would take care of PSN ID name change also.
Just create a new account named "MatureAdultNow" and merge it with your old "xxSuperTurd69xx" account.
That's..... A really good idea, actually....
I don't think that's a "most requested list" at all. It's a "what xbox has" feature war list. I couldn't give a rats about png or even a local media player (Btw you can stream like DLNA for free from the plex website, only the plex app is subscription based on XB1/PS4). The actual most requested features are here

And a bunch of them are in this update.
Plex on Roku was free last time I used it.
I'd be more excited about Plex (outside of the fee) if I could use it without rearranging my library.

Deleting zero percent completion is a good start, but let me delete anything. Remove it from my list and permanently remove all earned trophies from my records. There are too many games that give a trophy just for starting the game for deleting 0% completion to be a real solution. I have a bunch of trophies from games I played half an hour of and will likely never play again, cluttering my list with 1-2% completions.

MADNESS! HERETIC!!!
Huh? The PS4 uses only 3 watts when in standby mode. That's about $3 a year. It's 8.5 watts if you enable USB-charging in standby mode, which I wouldn't recommend due to the micro-USB connector of the DS4s that allow you to use far more convenient and efficient chargers or charging stations.
You'd likely save money by keeping the PS4 in standby mode to download updates automatically at night in a temporary medium power state than to download updates while the console is fully powered on drawing far more power (along with the TV).
Interesting chart. But did the cartridge-based consoles had a standby mode? Or did they mean with the power mains plugged in?
They had those old school power transformer bricks, and those always draw power even if the system is off

Thank you for your response. I really enjoy the share play, it would be excellent to have higher quality but what is available now is really good.

I think that it's low because it's a cosmetic thing.
If should get higher the more of the main issues are adressed with each update.

Standard backup.
So does this mean I can get an external harddrive to clear some space on my PS4?
No. It means you will be able to back up your entire file system on your PS4 so you can replace the internal hard drive without having to re-download everything
Yes, I really did. Plex is miles above DLNA. It handles anything I throw at it, subtitles and alternate audio are a breeze with it, and it's perfect for local AND internet viewing.

I wonder if these accessibilites options will fix the problems with Themes.
I want to meet the person at Sony who says, you know what would look great with this bright white background? SOLID WHITE ICONS! Even better, will put a white GLOW AROUND THEM.
I'm specifically talking about the bloodborne theme I just downloaded and the rectangle theme. Completely useless.

Only games that have 0% trophy completion? I guess it's a step in the right direction but let me do it regardless of how many trophies I've gotten in the game. I'm also salty about the 60fps remote play cause I live in an apartment and I've never gotten a good signal.
Other than that I'm really looking forward to the upgrade.

It's funny that this is added as some big task to add instead of how the f$ck is this not included since day 1.
I think it is taking so long because they are embarassed that they overlooked something so basic.

Remove 0% trophies is great too.

The 20th Anniversary theme is just as bad.
that to me its the best part of the update.
its just a shame that games with 5% or lets say 10% max cant be deleted.
what im really interessted in is also the sorting they talked about , here´s to hope we get organize the trophy list by console. that would be beyond amazing !!
Indeed. Plex may have some advantages but it is not superior to a DLNA option a la PS3.
I know. It really makes me wonder what the fuck the person giving the go ahead on these themes is thinking.
Think a lot of folk are getting a bit mixed up here. DLNA is essentially a network protocol, ironically the one that most folk use when using Plex. Plex is a front ended media player which uses various media playback protocols for playing back media from different locations (local hdd, disk etc. as well as via your network using SMB, WFS and others, but also, again, DLNA).
DLNA isn't a media player.
I'm not disagreeing. I'm just saying that Plex's front end is a lot better than generic DLNA front end that's built into a lot of devices.
What do you feel is better about DLNA on the PS3 than Plex?
It's that fancy front-end and the requirements to get it to work that keep me from using Plex. Maybe it has improved over the years but I'm not rearranging/renaming every little thing to get things to be recognized when the folder interface on the PS3 works with no effort necessary.

I wonder too, especially since DLNA on the PS3 has those stupid unfixable hiccups. It took me about a week before I bought a dedicated DLNA box because I simply couldn't take that.
Plex has very little setup to make work. And the fancy front end has an option to view by folder structure.
Just replace the internal HDD. Same thing, really.
what? Plex itself is 100x better than basic DLNA. Sure, Plex has an option of being DLNA server but hopefully nobody uses that but rather Plex media player
Thats not even something we can argue about, it is a fact... only problem is that it requires Plex pass right now, thats it.
I guess it depends on where and how your info is stored. But I have not had an easy time setting up Plex server to recognize my media on the PC I have it on and the network drive attached to my router. Also, sometimes I share from the laptop as a one off thing and with the PS3 I can pick up all the various sources easily.
It's certainly not as pretty as having a Plex frontend player, but it works, even with its occasional wonkiness. Maybe I just need to spend more time to get it going.
Not if you view via the web browser. Just go to www.plex.tv in your PS4 web browser, log in, and BOOM! That's it.
trophy autosync shouldn't be too hard. and it doesn't necessarily have to sync right away. just hide it from the user, like the way 360 has been doing it for almost 10 years. why does it have to be an intrusive process on PS4?
I'll preface this by saying I haven't used Plex in a couple years, so maybe things have changed:
Back then when Plex scanned your library, it would look at the folder structure and filenames and go to a TV/Movie DB to pull down metadata for fancy covers and episode descriptions. Which is all fine and dandy, but if it wasn't able to find a match on the DB for a particular file, that file would not be listed when you were browsing your library. Even in the folder view. Not to mention all the things it labeled incorrectly.
At the time, multi-season shows had to be given specific names, put in folders a specific way, the folders had to be named a specific way, it was a hassle. Alternatively, the folder browser on the PS3 "just worked", and I didn't care about it looking pretty. The point is to stream content, not look at pretty menus.
