PS3 hates mp4 (more with each update!)

The ps3 is my media center.

nevertheless, with the coming some new updates more and more files are deemed unplayable despite being fully playable before - nevermind the stupid issues it faced when the same file would run from one medium and not another, or if two identically processed files got a different playback treatment.

Their video watching codecs/appilications are a mess, so what gives?

 

i completely agree, have the same problems.

a f*ing xbox1 is a better media center.

 

I've pretty much given up on it for media centre tbh

 

I refuse to hook my ps3 up to any kind of internet connection just so I never get any "software updates"

Mine plays mp4's fine, and I'm keeping it that way.

 

when I had my ps3 I never even tried playing anything because you had to work with it for like an hour to play any file, its a horrible media center.

 

Why? Don't the upgrades make it....better?

 

I guess that Sony is thinking that supporting a wide range of mp4 based codecs would endorse piracy.

 

its a combination of paranoia over downgrading with an upgrade, and a lack of interest in online console games

 

Don't some games require the latest firmware?
