been testing this out myself and found that the PS4 is sorting by MP3 Title and not by filename so prepend track numbers has no effect. would it be possible to alter the tags to add track numbers to the title tag on the fly before being sent to the PS4? as i doubt sony will update the Mediaplayer an...

thanks will give it a try later and report back.

I wouldn't be surprised if it is a problem with the media player on the PS4 as i also have audio sync is...

I have problems when i try to watch something that needs transcoding on my PS4. it will play but takes a while to get started. looking at the logs it appears that playback is stopped for some reason, locking up the PS4 as it is expecting to receive data, then the file will start to play again. it ca...
