Sparky Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 UPDATE 2.20 INCLUDES Here are some of the other new features/enhancements that will be included in Firmware v2.20: The ability to copy PS3 Music and Photo playlists to a PSP system. We introduced the ability to create Music and Photo playlists on the PS3 in firmware update v2.0. Now you can easily export your playlists to your PSP. You can now play DivX and WMV format files that are over 2 GB. In addition, you can now display subtitles when viewing DivX files. Resume Play - begin playing a DVD or BD disc from the point where you previously stopped it, even if you eject the disc and insert a different movie or game. Use your PSP as a remote control to play back your music files on your PS3 without turning on your TV The Internet browser now displays some web pages faster. In addition [save Target] has been added as an option under file. This option lets you save a file that is linked to a web page to your PS3 hard drive or storage media There are a few other tweaks and upgrades included in v2.20 - we’ll provide more specifics as the update is about to go live. Most notably, the update enables the PS3 to support Blu-ray Disc Profile 2.0, also known as BD-Live. You can connect now to the Internet while playing discs that support BD-Live to obtain additional content and special features. These features vary from disc to disc, and will keep your BD discs fresh with new content and in some cases exclusive content only accessible to owners of BD-Live enabled discs. On April 8th Sony Pictures Home Entertainment will release The 6th Day and Walk Hard on Blu-ray; these titles will be among the first to take advantage of BD-Live. With this update, the PLAYSTATION 3 becomes the first Blu-ray player on the market with BD-Live functionality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bazza_g Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 yippeee, another wait to update the blooming thing when I power it up tonight - great that we get extra functionality but it seems like an update is needed everytime I turn it on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MOSE Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 Updated the new firmware wearlier this morning and it took forever, at least 40 mins to download and update. Anyone else find it slow? Or is it just a big bugga? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidicks Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 Seems to be taking a similar length of time for me - I assume it's quite a big file?! Sidicks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's 121 MB but I'm only getting about 65KB/s download speed so it's going to take about 30 mins to download. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOSE Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 hhhmmmm.....online gameplay seems a lot more stable at the mo.....touch wood. Haven't yet checked out the "mosquito" thingy.....I'm assuming this may only be relevant to SD media? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riz Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 Hope they get DTS-HD decoding done soon. Riz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bazza_g Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 more randomness - I hadn't setup 'allow remote start via internet' properly so did that and now if I power off the PS3 it starts up again in remote play mode even with the PSP switched off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riz Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 Just a heads up guys... another firmware is on the way 2.30. (Mid-April) *Now supports DTS-HD Audio *New PlayStation3 Store Im not sure but I personally feel the best Blu-ray player out there is indeed the PlayStation3.

Mac Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 Ooo ooo oo I have an excuse to try and find the PSP I've even got media streaming working via my Mac now too, which is nice. Seems to directly support DIVX movies too? Is a nice bit of kit me thinks...... But do I need this, an XBOX, Wii and a PS2....A nintendo 64. I'm not convined. Ebay fest on its way I think.

Yes the PlayStation3 is becoming quite a multi-purpose machine.... im very impressed so far! Divx is supported too, hence why it plays Divx clips etc.Sell the rest and keep the PlayStation3 I never imagined that the firmware could make such a difference as it has done so far. It really has slowly developed the PlayStation3`s performace and features etc... wonder when they will run out of Processing power! In game xmb-cross bar is coming too!

forresthills Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 I've even got media streaming working via my Mac now too, which is nice. How have managed this? Are you using a third party piece of software? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 Yes - Medialink. See http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/33760 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forresthills Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 Mac, there are mixed reviews of version 1.31 on Version Tracker. Are you using the latest version with the latest PS3 updates (2.20 I think). If so, how have you found it? I know it's only $20, but why waste your money?

forresthills Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 Oh and I forgot to say thanks. So thanks for the link, I've been trying to do this for ages and had sort of given up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 I'm not sure what version I'm running mate but it works brilliantly as far as I'm concerned So I have an iMac running 'my background stuff like VMWare servers and all that rubbish, and on that the Medialink s/w. This then connects through and feeds whatever I want to my PS3... It just works It's running through an Apple Airport Extreme too - so my Mac goes in on 802.11n (I.e. the fast one) and my PS3 connects over the old standard. I'm not sure what else it needs to do other than serve up my music, photos and movies to the PS3. It certainly does that well and reliably and hell, for 20US$ it's a bargin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 For what it's worth - it could be of course there are better products out there. I took a punt on the Medialink one simply because it was 20US$ and it looked like it would do what I wanted. Took minutes to setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
