    With the ps4 not playing videos from usb drives, does anyone have any workaround that works to enable this. I used my ps3 as much for gaming as watching movies and this is beginning to depress me.

    Nope there is no workaround, there is no media support whatsoever at the moment.

    The only way to do it is by streaming from another source and through the PS4's browser using HTML5.

    Plex, PS3 Media Server work ( I think), etc.

    No USB file type support at all....Sony say its due, at least CD and mp3....no idea about if avi/mp4/aac/wmv etc.will get support....if the PS3 can do it you'd bloody EXPECT the Ps4 to feckin do it!

    :mad: :rolleyes:

    Jeez the console has barely been launched to most countries, give them a chance, play some games in the meantime.
    Would you prefer if they delayed the launch for this feature?

    It's something that should have been included from the start and its exclusion is unforgivable tbh.

    When your new console is less functional than your old console, you know you've fcuked up. Shocking from Sony tbh. No Youtube app is a joke as well.

    The night i bought the machine and went to stick a load of music on it to no avail i was well pissed :pac:.

    I know why they have taken it out but still ffs its a bit of a joke this day and age for such a high spec piece of tech not being able to read ****ing usb.

    The sooner the better i can turn the volume up on Fifa 14 !!! :P.
