PS4 GLITCH LETS YOU TO WATCH VIDEO SERVICES VIA REMOTE PLAY
Do you like remote play, and do wish you could watch videos with it, well now you can. The latest PS4 update (2.50) which added Suspend and Resume seems to have inadvertently opened up the way for a workaround to this “issue.
The reason you might want to do this is with the PSVita is it doesn’t have certain media apps that the PS4 has, such as Amazon Instant Video app. Also the PSTV doesn’t have a Netflix app. This has been one major cause of grief for the PSTV, but now that could all be behind us.With this glitch, people who want to use apps like Amazon Instant Video on their Vita or Netflix on their PSTV will be able to do so. Of course, you have to own both a PS4 and a PSTV or Vita for this to work.
