Eleven Posted October 18, 2014 Report Share Posted October 18, 2014 I don't think it has been mentioned, but PS4 will be able to play MP4 videos too. Not as good as Xbox One's though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vecha Posted October 19, 2014 Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 I definitely hope they keep updating that list of supported media...But at least I can some music in the background. Maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that means video. I think it means music in MP4 format. I could be wrong though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strangelove Posted October 23, 2014 Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 The usb music player is so fucking dumb. Why does it have to be on a usb stick? Theres only 2 usb slots on ps4 and theyre goddamn precious. Im already taking one up because my headset needs a usb stick too and the other one is for charging controllers/headsets. As things are now I cant charge more than one thing at a time. If I want music, now I wont be able use a headset or cant charge anything. Thats lame.

Alex Heat Posted October 23, 2014 Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 You could do what I do and just plug your controllers into your PC/laptop to charge them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheFlyingGerbil Posted October 24, 2014 Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 Console makers need to start putting USB ports in the back of the console in addition to ports in the front. PS3 went down from 4 to 2 because they are so expensive to put in so I wouldn't hold your breath. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mister Jack Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 Does anyone know if the new shareplay function for online local play only works with one other person at a time? Bringing 4 players online into a local game would be awesome but I don't have 3 other people to test that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thursday Next Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 Surely that would be a bandwidth killer? You'd be streaming video to 3 people simultaneously. Unless the game somehow is hosted in the cloud and all 4 of you are streaming it. But that would mean that your console wouldn't be hosting it... :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 Theoretically you could just upload one stream and Sony's servers could send it to the various people, right? Like, when I'm streaming Twitch it's not like I'm uploading separate video for every viewer. Who am I kidding, I have no viewers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCP Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 That's a good question. Since we haven't heard anything about 2+ players using Share Play, I'd say not, but it could be something that happens later, they just added multiplayer to remote play.

I was thinking that Share Play was peer to peer rather than server based. If it was server based then you would have host -> server -> guest -> server -> host latency. Which sounds horrid.

TCP Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 Tried out Share Play last night. Towerfall worked well, my friend was hosting and I was playing, and outside the fact that I'm not very good at that game, it went reasonably well, very little input lag. I then hosted Sound Shapes and let me friend try to do some Death Mode levels, but for something where timing is so important, it was nearly impossible. Overall it's pretty impressive though, and for most action or adventure games, it should work fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 Sounds about like Remote Play: I could play AC4, Watch Dogs, etc just fine via Vita, but Killzone and Infamous were next to impossible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorgiShinobi Posted October 31, 2014 Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 I don't know if anyone here has experienced this yet, but it would appear that Rest Mode (once Stand-by Mode) is acting up, or in other words bugged. The console won't wake up from Rest Mode and is indicated by the orange light constantly pulsating. I had this happen to me last night, and while normally holding down the Power button should and has worked for others, I swear it didn't work for me. It may have been that I didn't hold down the Power button long enough, but otherwise I unplugged the console and hoped for the best as it's a scary solution to the immediate predicament. There have been three fixes I've read from other users: 1. Change the USB settings for Rest Mode to Always instead of the default 3 Hours. 2. Eject any disc before going into Rest Mode. Truth is, this might be the main culprit as I believe this is what triggered the problem with my console. The Eject button beeped during Rest Mode, but wouldn't wake up the console and/or eject the disc. 3. I wouldn't bother with this, but there are users that claim if you go into Safe Mode (hold down Power for 7 seconds) and download 2.0 again, it's suppose to fix the issue. Thing is, I've read users saying they still experience the problem. All in all, I think I'll just be turning off my PS4 for now until an official fix of sorts. I haven't had a problem there and I'm not really willing to risk entering the Eternal Rest Mode once more (as I would call it). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCP Posted October 31, 2014 Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 It happened to me the night of the update, played games all night, put the PS4 into rest, went to the bedroom, booted up the old PS TV and tried to do some remote playing and it couldn't find the PS4. Hopped out of bed, back to the living room, and I was greeted with a blinking orange line. Holding the power button down didn't seem to do anything so I had to pull the cord (which always makes me a little nervous). It hasn't happened since though, and I didn't adjust any settings. My USB setting was set to always already, so I don't think that solves the issue. I can't believe Sony hasn't said anything about this or gotten a fix out there already. They've been fucking up a lot lately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chronixal Posted November 1, 2014 Report Share Posted November 1, 2014 I don't think the pulsing orange light is specifically a 2.0 problem. I've had it in the past a couple of times to the point of never using standby anymore. Saves on the electric bill too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
