The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

You can probably do it with a lot of hassle, but that's really not what Kodi is for. Universal Media Server or Plex are much better choices for streaming to any of those, but none of them support DTS passthrough which makes them limited in usefulness unless you're ok withmanglingtranscoding the audio. TV shows aren't a problem since they use AC3 or AAC, but for movies it's really fucking annoying that so many new devices have intentionally ignored DTS.

If you can't connect the Kodi PC directly to your TV then the best option would be to get a second device (Amazon Fire TV, some Raspberry Pi box, etc.) that can also run Kodi and connect that directly to your TV.



Edit/Note: Have not done any of this personally yet, but I have been researching it a lot lately because the PS4 sucks at the task and I no longer have any faith that Sony will ever do anything about it. Don't have an Xbone or Chromecast, but they are just as bad. Amazon Fire TV + Kodi is the best/cheapest option I've been able to come up so far. Wish I'd figured that out when it was on sale for Black Friday, but oh well.

If you're not picky about audio quality, don't care about being able to seek/ff/rewind/use chapters/have proper subtitle support and just want a pretty UI, then Plex server + PS4 should be ok. Especially since the console client doesn't require a Plex Pass anymore.

list of playstation (console) exclusives for the next few months, didn't know about some of these games
The Definitive Rundown of Every Upcoming Playstation 4 Exclusive - The Cube | Games, Art, Culture - Medium

only really interested in The Witness, Uncharted 4, and NMS so plenty of time to start clearing up my digital backlog

oh guess Far Cry Primal and DIvision too but thats not exclusive

Really wish Project Setsuna wasn't Japan only next month, but at least it's coming out in English eventually.

Nights of Azure looks like it could be good too.

next year is stacked for JRPGs, really looking forward to it.

Countdown Xbox One Games | Xbox

DA:I GOTY for $24, borderlands $24, destiny $40, and rotr for $40 are ok deals. nothing really super special

Week 3 sale is up on PSN:Holiday Sale

Nothing too impressive. Until Dawn is a must-play, but I'm pretty sure it's been quite a bit cheaper than $40. Not that I regret paying full price for it at release, but still...

SEGA missing the mark yet again?

Why would Sega ever come back?! JUST MAKE GAMES

Plex is now free on the PS4. I set it up, it was pretty easy. Seems to be working like a champ.

Yes it is, however still wont play my AVI files !

That being said the built in Media server for PS4 plays them fine. Funny I never noticed I even had a ps4 media server!

Does anyone's PS4 not keep downloading when going into standby? I have everything checked to make sure it does but it pauses everything when I go into standby and they start back up when I turn the controller on.

I'm not sure who would want this but Gamestop is offering all 3 consoles re furbished.

The store is now offering what it's calling a "Pre-Owned Next Generation Hardware Bundle" that comes with secondhand PS4, Xbox One, and Wii U systems for $570.
