Is anyone having trouble with Youtube uploading?

For a while, every time I've wanted to upload a video it's asked me for my password to link my Google/SEN accounts. I've linked them and it's worked, even though when Google email me to say that I've connected my Google account to a new device, it lists it as "unknown OS." Yesterday it stopped working though. I select Youtube, it asks for my password, I link the accounts, then it kicks me back to the screen where I have to select Youtube, and if I do that again it asks for my password again. It's an infinite loop in which I can't upload stuff to Youtube at all through my PS4.

I had a look at my linked apps on Google on my PC, and the PS4 or SEN isn't listed there. It had been working fine up to a week or two ago so I'm not sure how it became unlinked or how to link it back again so that it actually remembers I'm doing it.

Fyi guys discover: you can easily access your preferred power options.

Missed Connections

You were the mysterious female Titan with the shiny purple armour.

I was the Warlock with the Gallarhorn.

We shared a moonlit sparrow ride together. I lost your PSN ID. Let's find the Sword of Crota.

Ha ha.

I do sound a bit desperate don't I?

As an update we have found each other again! [emoji173]️

Run out of petrol? Why not buy a new car?

[Spacehost]

I gotta say, that's a remarkably shitty advert for a console that lets you swap out the drive yourself.

[Guest]

Question for anybody that uses HDMI-CEC to control their PS4, does your TV remote have a button that replicates the PS/Home button? My Panasonic (VT65) doesn't do this which basically defeats the entire point as you still need to use the controller to leave an app or turn off the console.

[Stanley]

Yeah mine does, it's a Sony TV though.

[TehStu]

I've never got that damn thing working with my LG TVs, using their simplink thing.

edit - oh, that's a proprietary LG thing.

[MansizeRooster]

I'm using a Sony TV, and controlling a blu-ray playing on the PS4 with my TV remote is an absolute joy.

My Playstation has died.

Is it easy to get a disk out of them?

[Simmy]

What happened?

[Not Thread Owner]

Oh shit son.

PS4 despatched.

There's a screw you can loosen to eject the disc. Can't remember exactly what to do but a quick Google should tell you how to do it.

Did you go for the 1TB job?

[AI]

Wrong thread? Right thread?

"...Yay"

[Uzi]

What a reaction - reminds me of the N64 xmas kids

[Spacehost]

Either he's a deep PS4 owner happy to be able to resell it and get all the PSN games Sony locked him out of when they banned his account or an XBox One owner happy to be able to get one of his friends to play Destiny with him instead of on PS4.

What's the tournament? If it's a bone game, then he probably already has one. A bone would be a silly prize for winning at playing a bone game.

Did you go for the 1TB job?

Yep. 1TB with Batman and a PSTV. With quidco came to about £270.

[shirubagan]

I've been invited to the PS Now Beta. £3 for 48 hours or £6 for 30 days.

Fuck that.

Sounds about the same price as renting games back in the day.

[kradica1]

The PS Now Beta was great when everything was free. It's genuinely remarkable technology, you forget that your not playing locally after 5 minutes as 99% of the time the lag was imperceptible to me. It's a shame that now they are charging I'll probably never use it again, the pricing model is ridiculous.

[Not Thread Owner]

But more expensive than renting games on PS+ now.

And paying for a beta? Fuck that.

[Exit Chamber]

How can they possibly expect it to succeed with charges like that? Needs some sort of subscription model.

[toythatkills]

Presumably if the beta doesn't work properly, no refunds.

You can rent games on PS+? Is this UK only as well?

[p1nseeker]

I reckon he means that when you download a "free" game on PS+ you are strictly speaking renting it.

That and the fact that my saves from physical disks don't work with the same game when streamed. That was pretty fucking annoying. Amazing tech, piss poor pricing and missing out on the important little things.

I hope now that MS are essentially doing free BC, Sony rethink their prices and feature set.

Right now I can play Xbox 360 Mass Effect on my Xbox One and it's free if I owned the game on Xbox 360 and the save games carry on from where they were left off on the Xbox 360. And if I choose to play the game on Xbox 360 for real the save games are just synced as they're stored in the cloud.

I want the same thing for my Sony library.

[TehStu]

I thought it did? $20 a month, Netflix style.

[Spacehost]

£6 for 30 days sounds okay, given I'm unlikely to be playing anything on Now that's going to take over a month to finish.
