Windows 10: Windows 1909 update breaks PS4 Remote Play (once again)

There was a post about 2 years ago where the PS4 Remote Play program wouldn't run after installing a Feature update. Now after updating to 1909 it's broken, once again.

Compatiblity mode won't fix this either, so I guess we have to wait for an update from Sony..

PS4 PC Remote Play (Windows 10 support)


I just found out today that a massive update 3.5 for PS4 was rolled out last week which includes the 2 features that I've been waiting for so long.

One is the PC remote play which is supported on Windows 10. Below is a screenshot I took from my HTPC.





And the second best feature is the ability to play multimedia files from USB flashdrive and network attached storage (NAS) which works flawlessly.







There are more added features that you can find here.

 

PS4 external play options

MKV is a container format which can hold unlimited number of video, audio, picture, or subtitle tracks in one file, but PS4 can play MKV files with the following specification:

• H.264/MPEG-4 AVC High Profile Level 4.2
• MP3, AAC LC, AC-3 (Dolby Digital)

Once the MKV you add to PS4 does not meet the above requirements, the problem occurs.

To solve the issue, there are many methods and here list two of them:

1. Handbrake is the go to free converter for video files on Mac.

HandBrake: Open Source Video Transcoder

Install it and then point it at one of your MKV files and convert to one of the preset MP4 defaults in the Handbrake sidebar. Under "Regular" you should be fine with "Normal" or "High Profile" settings.

2. A step by step guide on Does PS4 Play MKV.

The article introduces a detailed guide to help you solve PS4 won't play MKV issue.
