Sounds of the show on ps4 ?

Re: Sounds of the show on ps4 ?

I don't know how accurate it's but I just read an article on "gamepur" which stated that a Sony employee leaked that DLNA was coming in 2015 and mp3/video player was planned to be released during the holiday season (if not sooner) of 2014. If this is true it's terrible news because not only did custom sounds not make the show but probably won't make other fall release titles either.

Tidux whos supposedly an industry insider on twitter who has been right about every firmware update so far. He had stated that 1.8 update in august was supposed to have 3d support and a media playback function which everyone is assuming means an mp3 player. He also said 3d support was bumped to earlier in order compete with microsofts announcement.

He also said a bunch of stuff prior to the 1.7 update that ended up being false, which he immediately spun into Sony holding back features.

I'm sure he knows people who have some sort of angle in the business, but he's throwing crap against the wall and seeing what sticks.

Hey Knight, I might be wrong but I thought that the way it worked on previous PS3 versions was as long as the mp3's were already on your HDD, you didn't need to import anything. I thought that once you get into the SotS menu, all the mp3's that you already have on your console (along with all the on disc music) automatically appeared in the left column and you just need to add the tracks you want in the game to the correct playlist in the right column. I would imagine the ability to put the songs on the PS4 in the first place will be a function that comes along with the (alleged) firmware update that includes a media player.

As I said, I may be remembering this wrong since I haven't messed with SotS since MLB 13 was released over a year ago, but I guess I'm confused about what you meant by "no option to import." Unless you are referring to the chants, cheers & jeers which I never cared much about, I just want my music back in the game. For me (and of course many others) it increases my long term enjoyment of the game tremendously. I guess I just don't want to give up hope for SotS this year on PS4 just yet since we still have like 9 or 10 months before MLB 15 drops.

The difference is that in the PS3 version (even this years), in the game itself you still have to pull music from your HDD into the Music Player Menu in the game that had "In-Game Cues", "Chants", "Yells", "JukeBox". So there is an additional step of getting music that was on your HDD and "importing" them into the game itself and then you would assign the music to SOTS from there. The problem is...that menu does not exist in the PS4 version which has been mentioned in this thread somewhere...which is why we are still facing a problem if Sony does provide an MP3 firmware update. Either that menu would have to be created/patched in the PS4 version to follow the same format of adding music or if somehow the PS4 can pull direct from your HDD unlike the PS3 version.

Honestly you dont think its sony holding back features? It sure explains the 3d firmware happening so fast as an answer to microsoft announcing an imminent release. It just miraculously is ready to go?
Ive been following tidux pretty closely in regards to firmware updates and hes been pretty much on the mark. Even the article on gamepur thats mentioned a few posts up makes me believe Tidux knows whats up. I strongly believe that they have a working mp3 player and Tidux knows it. Hes stated before he tests UI and other functions for Sony. Come on people Share factory plays mp3s off your hard drive but they cant seem to figure it out?
I think the throwing crap off the wall you mention just shows me where this Tidux guy, whoever he is, lines up on the Sony food chain. I think the stuff he says is true but maybe stuff like actual release schedules is above his pay grade.
Im actually taking the gamepur article as a positive. The whole maybe sooner remark actually makes me think Tiduxs prediction of end of August release could actually be true.

I agree, Tidux has pretty much been spot on. He's definitely in the know but obviously has no control of when things are released. With the 3D release and mp3 functionality for the share factory it's also obvious that Sony is holding out as long as possible to make as much $ as they can on music unlimited subscriptions. They could add mp3 playback tomorrow if they wanted to. So I guess the waiting game continues.

From the Playstation 4 thread...

Not sure if this has been posted yet......

http://www.gamespot.com/articles/ps4-mp3-support-coming-this-holiday-no-discounts-f/1100-6421356/?utm_source=gamefaqs&utm_medium=partner&utm_content=news_module&utm_campaign=hub_platform

Back in April, we reported on a rumor that the PlayStation 4 was getting MP3 support. Nothing official came from Sony, but many people thought it likely that the console would get some sort of external music compatibility at some point. Recently, we got more evidence that such an update is in the works.

According to reddit user IWorkForSony, who has been verified by r/PS4 subreddit moderators as a Sony employee, Sony is currently developing an update for the PS4 that will bring MP3 and video player support by the holiday season. The user also said that DLNA media server support will come some time in 2015.

So, there's a glimmer of hope, but by then we will be getting into the MLB 15 mode.

Went with MLB 13 this year due to the MP3 issue. Got MLB 14 PS4 after a price drop. Has anyone been able to save team assigned music? It resets to default when the game is reloaded.
