Tutorial: How to stream your media files to your PS4

Post by shadyblue9o9 »

This process involves either Ustream!
This must be done on your computer mostly...
step 1) create and account at Ustream.
Step 2) go to manycam.com and download the free version of manycam!
step 3) install manycam (make sure you dont intsall the adware by declining those offers during installation)
step 4) Once manycam has been installed login to your new ustream account.
step 5) create a new live broadcast and accept that it wants to use your webcam.
step 6) instead of choosing your usual webcam, under video choose manycam! And do the same thing with the Audio part. :)
step 7) now that this is done open manycam on your computer and select the video tab, once you are there click on the + icon on the right side of the manycam software and choose the file you want to stream.
Step 8) go back to ustream and broadcast it live.
step 9) get on your ps4 browser and type in the broadcast link located on the right side of the ustream page.
step 10) wait for the page to load completely (at first it will say to upgrade your flash player but that will go away) then play the video!
(make sure you are "on air" under the manycam software)

additional steps for better quality:
under the manycam video were it says resolution switch it from auto to the desired resolution you want.. if you want to get any higher resolution then you will need to pay for the software.
another additional step is to pay for ustream to broadcast better quality...
Also changing the resolution can cause the video stream to become off, this is because it is a different aspect ration. Changing from 16:9 to 4:3 and vice versa should help for the best possible video play back

The same steps can be used for twitch as well :)

I am also currently looking into ways for streaming locally (localhost:4040) is not supported by the ps4 browser -_-
This will make the quality a lot better because you wont have to upload it to the server and then re-download it through your ps4 browser.... instead it would directly go to the ps4's browser. xsplit broadcaster is good but once again you need to purchase it to get premium services (although it allows you to directly stream to twitch or ustream without having to login, all you have to do is verify your account on the software
