They need to get PNG in there as well since that's lossless. I never use JPEGs and I'll keep it like that as well.

It's supposed to capture the last 15 minutes continually. I think it's broke though.
The PS4 records the last 15 minutes of gameplay automatically; but it's buggy for some people. What i do is start recording every match i play of B4 manually when the match start.

not that it always works, but the PS4 buffers the last 15 minutes of gameplay. some times the buffering stops working (happened to me lots in infamous), but I'm sure they're working on a fix for that.

Being able to fully customize how the share button operates would be ideal. One click does this, two clicks do this, hold does this, etc.

Kind of what I was thinking. I thinks everyone has 3-4 MP3 players just sitting around.. How about work on game folders first!!
Honestly, I hate when people say this kind of stuff. The same could be said for some of the features included in this update. The point is that it's convenient to have MP3 playback, DLNA, and things like that so you don't have to go fiddling around with other devices.

Oh, OK. That makes sense. Thanks for the explanation. Standby suspension of games would be nice! Wonder when it'll come.

I'm pretty sure I have it set to turn off after a period of activity but it never does. Don't think netflix is counted as "inactivity".
Yeah, I know, but sometimes I like to pause, rewind or turn on subtitles. Especially when it's a TV show. I wish it could go into standby or something. Not a huge deal but still a tad annoying.

if this console is not gonna receive MKV support It will be very very disappointing

I don't really understand how stream archiving is a firmware thing. Shouldn't that just be on the server side? Or are current PS4 streams somehow incompatible with being saved on Twitch's servers?

Oh it's not a firmware thing but I listed it anyways simply because it's being discussed on the Playstation blog amid talk of firmware updates
Since when has any console supported it?
Apple TV, Roku and even Chromecast don't support MKV (possible on some with third party software / hacks), why would you expect a content producer to support a format that has extensive use within the piracy scene (not the only used by pirates, I know).
They may add an option to turn it off and on, on the PS4 side.

Ah yes, forgot about that. Was so excited by the tweet from Geoff and then Shu practically killed my hope. Anyway it's better than nothing.I consider Shu's twitter account official but not been mentioned on the PS blog as of yet
Sony would have to increase the bitrate a lot higher on PS4 to have uncompressed vids which takes up huge file sizes. Screens will probably still have slight compression on them but far less than what Facebook and Twitter do to them due to the PS4's encoder so that will be an improvement.

any word on the 15 minute Share bug being fixed Tidux?
But hey, at least it's better than using Facebook at least!=p
If the PS4 could do 40 instead of the 10 or so bitrate it does now it would be amazing.
Pretty much all newer Sony TVs and Blu-ray players support MKV, so...
Wait, what? I have a Sony TV but it had never recognized any MKV file when i plug my usb. Was this added with a Fw. update?
Maybe I won a sony TV from work and it reads mkv.
I'm talking about newer (2013+) models. Not sure if older ones have support.

That will be the day, lol. Doubt it'll ever happen.
Mkv support would be godlike..but alas the piracy etc ect.

Yeah I think JPEG's the main culprit for compression, I don't think the PS4 actually compresses much, if at all. We won't know for sure until they give us another format option to test. But damn, we need PNG for sure!

Of course you're not gonna get uncompressed video. The files would be huge, and it's very possible it would have an adverse effect on game performance since the video would have to be written to the HDD all the time (as I understand it that currently doesn't happen until you press Share - the 15 minute recording buffer is kept in memory until then).
This is with a glitched out HTC One so everything is hued purple nut the XMB is majestic.
I would actually changing move the clock forward a few hours so I can see the color mixing at its peak. The PS4 needs that quality. I want to be able to just leave my PS4 at its UI and let it do interesting Screensaver things. The XMB was so visually appealing it didn't need BGM. The PDM is so plain that it does.
It would not be easy to do. You'd have to patch any game that uses it (Playroom for instance), the login system would no longer work with face recognition, etc. They designed the system around it along with what they're doing with VR.

You know, I would really like to see the export video and screenshots to USB, I want to be able to play my own MP3's as background music during a game without using Music Unlimited, I want to be able to organize my games in whatever order or folder I would like, I want to stream my movies from my own PC. Those are the features I really want.
However, something I have complained about even on PS3, I want to organize and make notes about my friends. I want to have a huge GAF folder and throw all my friends from GAF in it. I want to make notes on my friends list. For example, if someone had a different PSN name than GAF name, I could make a note on them and know who the fuck that person is. Or I would like to make a note that this friend "always has a headset." or "really good at Battlefield 4>" Stuff like that. Makes so much sense but they have never given us a good way to organize our friends. It has to come, as much as the social aspects of gaming are growing.

You're basically asking for friends list groups and setting up aliases for friends. Two things that should definitely be pushed for as they're very much needed.

Well I think of it as, some games necessitate it, others or most, do not. Facial recognition is an option that I never use so thats not a given. Did they really design the system with it considering the PS4 Camera is not included with the console? That is difficult for me to believe. The mere fact that the Camera is not included with the console would (or should) favor the option being available I think. The massive patching for the games up until today would probably be a pain though. Perhaps your reasoning aligns well with why Sony simply won't allow it to be disabled or not.
My new 4k Sony TV supports MKV.
I don't think they make another announcement.
Probably a blog/twitter entry with "Firmware 1.70 coming today."
They won't have uncompressed video, but the videos are already a pretty high bitrate (and subsequent huge file size) until you upload them to facebook. The quality should be pretty good once you can export them to usb -- the same as when you preview them on the console
So far we have leak of an unvieling of an announcement. So not much longer now
Sony has seriously been dragging out the feature updates...

I agree... the next announce will be the firmware "Out tonight" or anything like that.
I am using optical audio for my sound and HDMI for my video. Center channel works on PCM, but you only get 2.1 When you got to DTS to get surround sound the center channel quits working. Its really annoying.

You can do this. Press Options in the Share screen.
Also, I know PS4 records last 15 minutes, but I wish you could simply capture the last 30 seconds with double tap, as opposed to "starting" a clip, because I wont know when I'm going to want to capture some moment.
I also hope that this glitch will be fixed with this update...
Damn, i sooo gonna check this again once i get back home. My TV is 2012, but hopefully it works.
