That's the one thing I really don't like. There is enough clutter already on the app bar. Having it in the system bar was great.

PS4 Update 2.50 Yukimura Preview: Suspend/Resume and More
- Thread starter skynidas

Yeah, how the fuck can't we see our trophies while being offline? Thats my most requested Thing for future Firmware updates for sure.
Completely agree.
I don't think of the Store as an "app". It's more of a system feature, so it belongs on top.
Media apps have always put games in suspended mode. This will allow an app to stay suspended when the console is in rest mode.
I wouldn't mind it if they put all "system" apps over there. Store, Capture Gallery, USB Music Player, etc. All under their own category.

The App bar should have are games and apps. All the other system stuff should be at the top. This is a step back.
lol thanks, I was wondering why there was not a 100000000 page thread about the update
Or they could solve all of this by letting us create folders and arrange all app/games/features however we wanted.

They probably put a permanent Singstar icon in place of the store icon in the top row 
I will. Loading GTA V every time is annoying.

Plex works great if you use it with SABnzbd and Sickbeard, but it's awful for everything else. I make a 'Home movie' folder so it picks everything up without metadata (and picks a crappy screen grab from the file) for odd episodes I want to watch. I tried to get it to catalogue my classic Dr Who collection and it made a right mess of it.
In short, yes. While I could see myself going forward, when going through the motions of adding a new show making sure I stick to a format, but to go back and rearrange/fix for all the existing library contents is just not my idea of a fun weekend.
When adding the library folders I said "TV Shows" because, well most of them are TV shows. I'll try "Home Movies" and see how that goes.
Yeah, I should have specified. Home Movies is the way to go for unfiltered folder view.
That's what I thought too. Makes alot more sense this way.
I did. My point is that patent troll can't be the reason for not supporting BT headsets because Sony is already using BT that would fall under that patent for the controllers.
There's a lot of games with horrible load times, so if this feature works well it'll be a godsend.
The title of the show should at least be correct, the episode numbers are more of a pain typically. Plex uses thetvdb.com for TV shows, just make sure the folder name for the show agrees with what that site has. If thetvdb.com has your show and Plex still isn't getting the right one, there's a fix incorrect match option. If thetvdb doesn't have your show, you can edit the info for the show in Plex.
Home Movies option should get you going for now, and you can move stuff into separate movie and TV show folders as you organize them. Because you're right, if you have a large library it will be an ongoing thing for a while.

Yes...
The start up behavior is all dependent on the user login settings (automatic login) and how the game is put into rest mode... Triggering rest mode from the main system screen will show the main system screen while triggering Rest mode from the quick access menu (Hold down PS Button) will return to the game/app (AFAIK it works for Netflix; other apps maybe?) directly...
If automatic login is not set to an account the typical "who's logging in" screen will appear before completely returning to whatever is running.

EDIT:
- looks like you can quickly toggle the button mapping. so it will be easy to swap for at least one game
- toggle the limit of items on the dashboard
- High Contrast and Closed Captions added to Accessibility menu
- Now Playing (what your friends are playing/doing) added to the What's New feed

I like the info bar at the top.
Some Xbone games kick player out to the main game screen after they are placed into suspend mode [usually always-online games such as Destiny].
I don't think that DAI should make problems like that.
Yeah I definitely prefer the store icon there. Does the UI still lag around?
With FFXIV it kicks me to the character select screen but I stay logged in.

So, did they get rid of the control mapping?
No, it's in. There is video of it few posts up.

It's still there. It's listed as accessibility (which is correct) so I think a lot of people pass it over when reading.
Well, to some of the responses I see, no matter how you look at this and I was actually bitchin' at the Remote Play thing yesterday myself, the 60 FPS can only be a good thing overall 'cause this means rigth off the bat that more bandwidth and per what I'm reading FULL network bandwidth will be allocated to the stream. PS TV and PSV are about to get used again IF this actually works properly.

A lot of the over the ear headsets really muffle outside sound though. So that's still not ideal.
That starts up very quick. I wonder if general start up from rest has sped up as well.
It would be a lot to ask to output a 60fps feed while also recording a 30fps video at the same time, so yeah that's probably pushing it too far. Says it only disables recording while Shareplay is active though.
That's because Plex is a media server, and not a file browser. It indexes and serves your media to a pletoria of devices through Plex Apps. But the apps themselves will never have a 'browse folder and select file' interface, they just talk to the mediaserver. So yeah, you need to wait for a dedicated DLNA browser/client, or start using the preferred naming conventions for Plex. I believe PMS is DLNA compliant tho; so a DLNA client should be able to see the files served by PMS.

i use these because, like you, I have a surround setup. it has a slotted cup so external sound will not be muffled. it's pretty much like the old school x360 pack in

Plex has a Home Videos option for a library that essentially has a 'browser folder and select file' interface, and it works with the dedicated PS4 app.
Changing a library so it can be scraped can take a while, so it'd be a good intermediate step for people new to Plex while they rename stuff over time. The Home Videos option is also good for stuff that will just never scrape.
Ah, cool. Funny, I use Plex almost daily and I never saw that Home Videos option, heh. You learn something every day
But still, PMS will be serving/transcoding.Live Free or Die

Looks great to me. less clutter on top. looks more natural now.
So much for all that "it's not a big deal" nonsense. That right there is awesome.

really like the overlay they have there that shows notifications, time, etc when you resume

It looks like the suspend/resume puts the game right underneath the main system bar at the top when its running. I was hoping it would look and behave more like the Vita suspend/resume.

Think it works like channel info that shows up on (top of) your TV screen for a few seconds before defaulting to full screen. Gives you a quick overview if you have messages or anything like that. Quite useful.
