Yeah I meant uploads. Will twitch archive from the console app?
I think they are seriously underestimating how many people used their PS3 to output video content to their TV's.
I guess some people like $400 streaming boxes. To each their own.
MP3 license is $0.75 per device.
They can sell MP3 support for 2-3 bucks and make a lot of money.
They'd still have to develop a MP3 playback software though.
Still, not being able to play all my shit MP3s and other files just suuucks.
I think they are seriously underestimating how many people used their PS3 to output video content to their TV's.
Uh, they aren't forbidding games from supporting custom soundtracks, they just aren't doing this on the OS level.
This is false.Wait, what? Even in Europe? When is it coming now? I need a racing game at/near launch
Well considering MP3s aren't even supported then how will a game use them?
OK. MP3, MU and DLNA business are just bs. WTF are they thinking? Hope they have change of heart and include those features later.
I hope that happens. We'll have to wait for Sony to realize that forcing MP3s out won't result in Music Unlimited subscriptions.

It most likely is being sorted out. Just not in time for launch.No CD, No media streaming, no MP3...this ain't an incapable of problem, it's blocking.
some one contact Shuhei, this needs to be sorted.

PREORDER CANCELED
Basically 99 % of this is a downgrade compared to last gen. Sony, wtf are you thinking ?
Will PS4 support media servers or DLNA support in order to stream videos or movies from a home PC?
The PS4 system does not support client functionality for media servers.
According to Wikipedia, DLNA was added to PS3 after 12 firmware updates, 6 months after US launch in may 2007.
By including the codec in the game itself?
Not rocket science.

Good, it's not a deal breaker as both my TV & AV can do it but still.It most likely is being sorted out. Just not in time for launch.
And how will you get access to said custom MP3s if the system won't support USB connected storage or support DLNA servers? The OS would have to let you get to those files somehow - if they don't support DLNA but can get you access to media some other way on the network, then that wouldn't be so bad.
Couldn't you connect an external drive and play media files that way at launch though? It's not clear, but it doesn't seem like you could even do that with the information we currently have.
In other words, give it fucking time. I want the console to play games. Keep your PS3 and use it as a media server. Or someone like me where I have a computer that I can use where I don't need to do such a thing.
First off, how do you know it would only take 3 days? Are you a programmer who has extensive familiarity with the PS4 OS code?
Second, even if it did take 3 days, that's 3 days they could otherwise be spending on a more important feature. A lot of the missing features people are complaining about are probably less about deliberate omission and more about triage. Custom themes are a nice-to-have on a games console but not as important as party chat and other online play features. MP3 playback is similarly nice but not as important as music unlimited support, as that's a subscription service that makes Sony money.
If they're still not in 1-2 years from now I'd be bitching too. For day 1, though, I'd prefer that they prioritize stability and core gaming-related functions.
Hopefully they'll patch in DLNA and MP3 support later down the line if they see demand for it.
According to Wikipedia, DLNA was added to PS3 after 12 firmware updates, 6 months after US launch in may 2007.
Wait, I just checked the EU blog... I had read the wrong price.
Games are set at £59.99 RRP!
SIXTY BLOODY QUID!! For a disc!
Hell no, I thought they said it would be in line with current gen?
Jeez, apart from the early adopters the UK sales will likely tank at those prices. Xbox One will start looking cheap after a few games if they have prices at current gen. What a waste of money. Hopefully sales are affected so they amend this rubbish, although some will eat that shit sandwich and call it the best they have ever eaten.
Madness.
DLNA back then was a nascent standard. It's 2013. This shit is standard on even the shittest smart TV. The shittest smart TV.
This is some grade A bullshit they are pulling.
Or that it is intentionally absent.Including most of sony's TVs and bluray players. That should suggest they won't ignore it,they just had different priorities for launch
It's launch guys. Let's get through that first and then let Sony start fixing messes.
And why are people bringing up no streaming, you can stream just fine. Developers have the option of cutting off certain points in single player(I'm guessing) that they don't want people to leak early. I'm sure mp won't be effected.

Hey guys, excellent FAQ. I have one quick question.
I, unfortunately, made my PSN account when I was a wee tot. Because of this it’s a sub account. I understand we cannot upgrade to a master account, sure. But, when I get my PS4 will my sub account be eligible to be the Primary Account on my console?
I ask because in addition to a large amount of trophies, I have purchased a ton of Vita digital content. Only one account can be used on Vita and I would very much like my Vita account and my primary PS4 account to be the same. Making a new PSN account would mean saying goodbye to a lot of hardwork and money,
Please tell me on day 1 with my new PS4 this account won’t give me any problems.
Are Photo's allowed?
So honesty is now being defined as dropping news 2 weeks before launch? So technically, Microsoft has another 2 weeks before they can be considered dishonest.
The ps3 fucking sucked as a media server, I can't get it to play shit anymore. People are just pissed they can't stream their pirated movies, it can still play Blu-rays people, buy your movies and TV shows.
