Great video with very useful tips! Personally I think audio in video games is massively overlooked. I would very much appreciate a separate video on Audio Formats and will check out your app.

[@kadirpvp6174]

10:58 I find it much better when it’s always on because then you don’t get a black screen for 10 seconds if hdr it’s switching to hdr

[@Octorious]

This is actually a really good point, thanks for that! I still personally would rather take the black flicker when opening non-HDR content up than it maybe be presented visually incorrectly but that is rare anyway tbf. I'll bare this in mind as something to mention when I inevitably remake this in a few years 😅 Thanks for watching! 😊

Nice video man butYou forget to mention in settings 23 24 25 is RGB RANGE settings

[@zaidebtw4438]

What’s that?

[@Octorious]

Thank you! I did consider mentioning this, but didn't as it isn't actually something 99% of people should touch. When it's kept at automatic, it should correctly set the RGB range in-line with your TV's options and if you change it to something that doesn't match, it could limit what colours are seen. I figured it wasn't worth causing confusion when it only affects a very very small number of TVs that don't send the data over properly. You are right to point it out though! Maybe i should've mentioned at least. Thanks for watching! 😊

[@avpedmond1923]

@@OctoriousFor Example If High End Monitor like ASUS ROG OLED can this settings RGB set it to Full Range? Or Better Stay at Automatic.? Because Last year i check your another previous video mention this settings set up to full range So i no so sure how this settings is fully function

Interesting video, used a few of these setting my pro up... the app looks good but is it safe regarding passwords & accounts

[@Octorious]

I'm glad you found some of it helpful! I've been the only one involved in developing the app & have been very, very careful to ensure it's secure. To link your PSN, Xbox & Steam accounts, it never needs a password but just your username. The app then essentially looks at what's available publicly on that account with that username to import it all, which is why it's important your privacy is public for importing. It can be reverted back afterwards. Then the app also doesn't store or look at any of your data, aside from the email you give it for account creation & of course the stuff you create within the app itself. Let me know if you have any other concerns and I'll explain them the best I can 😊

[@Mycall1983]

[@FoShoBS]

Have a question can you make a video on faster downloads?😊

[@Octorious]

Noted! I'll definitely get to this at some point. Probably early next year when game and hardware releases have slowed down a little. 😊

[@apathy7711]

I will save you the time. If you want faster downloads only a few things are possible. 1. Get a faster internet connection. 2. Use a different DNS server 3. Hard wire your connection.

[@Octorious]

@apathy7711 yeah the main is with the 2nd. The issue is most people tell people to just change it to google's or cloudflare's but that's entirely location dependent. There's a local network test that can be done that tests a large chunk of domain name servers, and then tells you which has the best latency, or raw speed etc. I did make a video on this a whileeee back but it needs updating.

[@apathy7711]

@Octorious You are after my heart with this network talk. I'm guessing you are a comp engineer / network engineer by day ;)

[@Cinogard]

9:30 I also use my PS5 to watch movies via DVD and have experienced some audio issues when watching Dune Part 2 which could just be my audio device itself not being compatible with 4K blu-ray or some setting I am unaware of in the PS5 itself, due to how other movies sounds perfectly fine I don't know what exactly the problem is But either way media playback on top of gaming would be really useful to explore if you do make that video :)

[@Octorious]

I'll definitely keep this in mind! If the issue is ONLY with that one blu-ray in the PS5, and other blu-ray's are fine, then it's likely that Dune 2 maybe offers several choices of audio streams and the default selected doesn't match your audio system. When in media playback, see if there are multiple audio channels and try the others to see if it fixes it. 😊 I'll 100% continue exploring that video idea for the future. I've actually had a script for it for almost a year, but it's just a really complicated one to be able to explain properly to each person's different setup, without causing confusion, so it's kind of been put on the back burner haha. Thanks for watching! 😊

[@LordSensei]

I really want to use the adaptive feature on my PS5 but for whatever reason it’s not available for the OG why ?

[@Octorious]

My educated guess for this is that it's partially hardware-reliant. The Slim & Pro likely use updated chips for the USB-C ports that are able to monitor the power level of the connected device directly, whereas the original console doesn't. Sony wouldn't add a feature to the slim but not the original if it was purely software based, so it has to be that the original console is lacking something on the hardware side that allows it. Thanks for watching! 😊💙

@ true true deffo some useful info here though 🤘🏼 and your app looks mad! One thing that bugs me is that ps3 trophies are alphabetical but 4 and 5 aren’t they need to implement that option would be so cool! And an absolute dream would be if they separated games with dead servers online trophies so people could still platinum old games!

How do you keep people from hacling the my back up feature? Plus any clue why red dead won't automatically upload to the cloud? I have to do it manually every time i get done playing

[@Octorious]

Hey sorry for the slow response! For RDR2, you'll have turned off auto sync at some point by accident. Do this: 1. Settings. 2. Saved data & game app settings. 3. Go to Saved Data (PS4) as it's a PS4 game. 4. Auto-Upload. 5. You should now see toggles come up for every PS4 game you have installed with Saved data. RDR2's is probably off, toggle it back on. 👍 For stopping people hacking MyBacklog, I've put a lot of work into ensuring all usual vulnerabilities are covered, and that all user data is secure as possible. The only sensitive data stored there is your email address too, and that & all your game info etc is stored on Amazon's web servers which is also routed via Cloudflare so there are several layers of highly reputable and secure networks that need to be infiltrated to be able to hack the site. If you mean how is linking your accounts secure, well it simply users your username and that only. You never give it your account's password or anything else, as with just a username, if you've get your game data to public, it can then view your profile through its own PSN account so intelligently import and sort your games based on your trophy list. A lot of work has gone into it to make sure it's secure, but I certainly understand the skepticism 😊

One caveat to your output sound suggestion for using ‘linear PCM’ is that is you state that using a sound bar/receiver connected with eARC use LPCM. But in the case of a sonos (atmos sound bar) using eARC with satellite speakers LPCM drops it to a 2 channel. For that scenario use the ‘atmos priority.’ That’s my setup for the audio.

[@Octorious]

Thanks for sharing this! This is honestly why I thought about making a whole video on this topic as there are so many different possible audio configurations that it's hard to get it right for everyone quickly, and most will have it set wrong for their setup.

[@Octorious]

If this is in relation to privacy settings, that doesn't affect your ads or content personalisation at all; I even show how you can prevent this immediately after. Displaying your game history to public simply let's other verified PSN users see what games you own, and the trophies you have for them and that's all. It thus let's the app then import your data without you needing to give any login info as it can see that through it's own PSN account & you can set it right back to private after. If you still aren't comfortable doing so, then you of course don't have to link an account, or just don't have to use the app at all! 😊 But rest assured, it doesn't give anyone power to be able to stalk, harass you, or personalise ads towards you. This would be the case if you changed your other privacy settings such as who can message you, ad personalisation etc. Gaming history is unrelated.
