PS3 Firmware 2.20 gone live

As I'd previously mentioned the new PS3 Firmware has been added to the system.

As I'd previously mentioned it added quite a few video play back features including Blu-ray 2.0 (BD-LIVE) which allows for content to be streamed from the interweb via the PS3. I'm struggling to find out which discs actually are using this version and as I still don't have a HDTV I'm not likely to be fully testing these function. I did notice that it added an Option in the Blu-ray otption with regards to allowing the Disc to connect to the internet. There is also some emntion of Mostiquto noise reduction which is regards to digfital artifacts that occur with digital vido files due to compression.

Divx has supposed to have been updated and now allows subtitles that are encoded into the file to be displayed. As well files over 2GB sadly the divx files that didn't work before still don't work now, but hey ho.

There is now a function to allow you to chose where your sound is output in Remote-play either via the PSP or PS3. The PS3 option basically turns your PSP in to rather snazzy Remote device but is a bit useless, unless you have a rather swanky Sony 7.1 Amp that allows for separate zones to be created.

Whilst on the subject of PSP you can now transfer playlist for pictures and music to the PSP along with your tracks which is far better than current PSP system of either storing them in folders using a PC to create the needed structure or having them all loose.

I'm having quite a few Remote Pley issues sinse this updates. I seem to only be able to connect direct via the PS3 and not via my Router anymore. This maybe due to the change of PS3 or a conflict with the PSP. I did managed to get remoteplay to work but you now have to be logged in otherwise it goes to the PS3'S XMB and then hangs. I also discovered whilst outputting via the PS3's Digital output to my amp whilst in remote-play that the system continues to play the music from the PS3 until the tune ends even when you've exited Remote-play on the PSP.
I will be contacting Sony to discuss these issues and I'll post anything useful that I discover from them. I will also try and record the problems on my phone and upload them on to Youtube so I can stream them to this site.
