Just recently the PS4 got a media player app and a lot of us were very happy but disappointed at the same time. The new media player app is really basic and can’t play a lot of files, but I didn’t want to talk about what files it can play and can’t play. You can read about that here.

The Universal Media Remote for PS4 is officially licensed by Sony and provides easy access to the PS4 system. The Universal Media Remote also includes a PS button to turn the system on and off without a controller and comes with an IR to Bluetooth adapter, making it compatible with other universal remotes. PS Remote Play is a free to use feature on all PS4 and PS5 consoles. All you need is: Your PS5 or PS5 Digital Edition, PS4 or PS4 Pro 2 connected to your home wired broadband network. A compatible device – also connected to your network.

Instead lets hook up our Android smartphone or other Android devices and use it as a media server, as most of us have really good playlist on our phones. The App I used for this is call Media Server and it has dlna support.

The app is free and every simple to use, works great with the PS4 media player app and I haven’t had any issues with it at all. The media server app makes it really easy to share your videos and pictures with family and friends on the big screen too.

Another good thing about the Media Player App is you can use it with remote play on the PSVita or PlayStation TV(vita tv) and even with the modded remote play app for all Android devices. Also if you are on FW 3.50 you can still use the remote play feature on the PSVita or PlayStation TV and it will not ask you to update for now. So who knows if they left that feature on for all of us to enjoy or just forgot about the vita again. 😉 You can get the app for your Android device in the play store, just type in the search media server or here from the download link below.

Ps4 Media Remote App Windows 10

It’s really about damn time that Sony and/or a third party decided to release a PS4 media remote of some type. Yes, it’s not all that difficult to pick up a DualShock 4 and control your console, but there’s something to be said for a dedicated remote to handle simple media functions. Thankfully, PDP in conjunction with Sony, have finally launched an officially licensed and supported Universal Media Remote for the PlayStation 4.

My home theater remote of choice has been the Logitech Harmony One for many years now. Coupled with the Bluetooth PS3 Adapter they released years ago, I have been more than satisfied with the unified, flexible remote experience that this device combo offers. Since I rely on my PS3’s media functions less and less these days, and neither Logitech nor Sony have a similar solution in place or planned for the PS4, PDP’s PS4 Universal Media Remote is the best solution out there so far.

The Universal Media Remote for the PS4 features most of the DualShock 4’s buttons, including PS, Options and Share, and works nicely with the console’s interface and most of the media heavy apps available for it right now. There’s no touchpad or analog sticks obviously, but the circular direction pad is more than adequate for navigating menus. The remote is actually smaller, thinner and lighter than it appears in product shots, and all of the important functions are clustered around the direction pad and easily reachable.

The most important feature of PDP’s PS4 remote is that it has both IR and Bluetooth built into the remote, which allows it to play nice with the PS3 and up to 3 other devices (TV, cable box, AV receiver for example). This means you can easily control all of your components with one device. The remote has a few customizable buttons that can be set to learn functions from other remotes or devices, which should be useful for certain situations. The universal remote also has volume punch-through capabilities that allows the volume controls for one device to be controlled when actually using another device. This doesn’t seem to work when in PS4 mode (using volume buttons to control my receiver), since I assume it won’t use Bluetooth and IR simultaneously. It’s a minor complaint, but one worth mentioning if you have a similar setup. I would have appreciated some light up keys also, but again, a small issue. Firefox update for mac os. Oh and yes, the remote can turn the console on and off via the PS button.

Otherwise, the PS4 Universal Media Remote is a useful device that seems to work properly with most of the PS4’s apps. Media Player, Blu-ray DIscs, Netflix, HBO GO, Twitch and many others seemed to work well, without many issues. The “Enter” button does not always map to “X” on a few apps at the moment, and I’ve noticed some inconsistent behavior in the native YouTube app (which is supposed to be supported). PDP and Sony have assured us that more and more apps will be supported, and we’re assuming that some of the small navigation issues will work themselves out. Better Spotify support would be on my wishlist too.

For under $30, the Universal Media Remote for the PlayStation 4 is a solid buy for those who frequently use the media functions of the console or are too lazy to grab a DualShock 4 to navigate the UI, apps and PlayStation Store (like myself).
