You Spoke, We Listened, Lets Party

Thanks for the fantastic update, and gotta say loving the service.

May i request 1 feature, can we have the ability to open and use the web browser when the app is running?, i would assume this would be possible as certain games have a similiar feature, it would be a great way to listen to the music and also surf the web at the same time.

If not it’s no biggy.

Music request.

Can we get an old school drum and bass feature sometime or possibly a hardhouse/dance feature, i would love that,

Cool update.

Add some more Korn videos please

what would be nice now is some sort of upscaler when 16:9 support is on and off. I seem to still get black bars on my sony bravia telly because i have my tv picture settings as full pixel i usually use this setting as it shows everything on screen when gaming so which one is right (Full pixel or normal-16:9)

Someone help me please
Thanks.

thanks for this update it’s fantastic keep up the good work

Thanks for answering our prayers!

P.S. Please bring us more Queen songs!

Now that is what i call an update! You really have listened to the people. Many thanks for all your hard work.

My country (Sweden) don’t have this service yet but… Can you comment on what resolution the videos are, will be in the future? Any chance for 720p or even 1080i/p?

Links from the PS Store on Rockband/ Singstar track packs would be cool.

Feature request.

Can we have the ability for the service to begin downloading the next song on a playlist/coming next if the now playng song has fully downloaded.

I think some songs may already do this (i may be wrong) BUT some don’t, i was just listening to a playlist and a song was a quater downloaded when the now playing song had finished playing BUT the following song after that hadn’t downloaded at all even thought the now playing had finished downloading a good 2 minutes before the song had finished.

If this isn’t already done can it be looked into as it would be a great feature.

Wow, this is really quite spectacular! Thank you very much team. My only wish now is for VidZone to be rolled out to every other country so they can use it too! Oh, and will non-widescreen recorded videos be stretched to 16:9?

..please don’t forget SWITZERLAAAAN..!! ;D ..you already have all 3 languages translation (IT/DE/FR) ..I’don’t know what you have to do but I hope soon! thx

Dam only macho music for me now, I need to delete that Britney Spears playlist now. Lol

Excellent update. Thanks!

Excellent update. Good to see that you’ve listened to your users and improved on what is already a great application

Gid update there dudez. Is it free.

So you didn’t answer me that last time Ben, can me and my mate work for you guys for a week early next year for work experience for school?, my mate has an uncle in London, is that were your office is?

Some videos are shot in 14:9 is this also supported?

Maybe a stupid question, but as I haven’t been able to checkout VidZone yet(because of my location) I am really wondering if there are any Game Soundtrack playlists? Games like FIFA and DiRT both feature pretty all-round artists for their soundtrack and for the people who play the games it would be pretty fun to stay in the mood while they are not playing… As most times it’s a good chance to hear some new cool artists which in case of DiRT2 are hard to find the title and artist of the music.

Aswell as it might prove to be a small promotion for the game itself, which on it’s turn could also be linked to the Demo in the PSS and stuff like that!

Anyway great update! And hope to see it soon in The Netherlands

All video should be stretched out to 16:9 it makes everything neat most HDTV has this feature inbuilt when watching freeview or sky.

very nice, respect!

Hey Ben,

VidZone is great and this is a pretty amazing update. Most of people’s issues are addressed (especially seacrhing!!).

Big thank you to the guys and gals at VidZone for the great work so far and thanks for making it better!

Give yourself and everyone else at VZ a big pat on the back!!

Great update. The navigation with the BD-Remote is very cool. Thanks for the excellent work

I am still waiting for Craig David to appear on Vidzone?

Any news?

good to see that you listened and made improvements. I think more people would use vidzone if it was easier to search.

theres freakin Miles Davis in there if you look hard enough!!

gosh… you guys were listening after all!
Although i’m still not enthusiastic about interrupting the flow every 4 or 5 vids with an advert which clashes with the mood i’m trying to create, i’m impressed by news of the update. I can’t complain about the adverts too much i guess considering it’s a free service but the update addresses most of the issues that made me un-install vidzone so maybe it’s time to give it another go…..

Great update! Still needs Guns N’ Roses though.

I’m going to leave the XMB song status on, I don’t have any secrets

ok, I do want one thing actually… high quality videos, is this at all possible? This, and then VidZone is perfect in my eyes… but maybe hire someone with more interest in mainstream pop, don’t see much of that around

I prefer to watch all videos in their original aspect ratio, even if it means seeing vertical/horizontal black borders.

this is only version 1.04!? Wow! Now we need a proper mp4 download service for all videos!

oh, and I definitely agree with # 103, that should be addressed

nice update

Fine, I found the search and keyboard thing I report first day, I’m glad to see it’s done It will surely improve the enjoyment, as sometimes it was a bit uncomfortable spend a lot of time to search a video and making the playlist, I will use it much more now.

I like the 16:9 you put too, it was something this generation had to have.

I don’t know by the way but… have you or will you add bluray remote control use? I have one and would be great to be able to use it More than that, the remote control is shouting for something so… obvious and useful “I have a Play, Pause, Stop, Rewind, Next Video button,etc, use me please!”.

Thank you for all the improves, I understand they take time, but you did it and in a correct time. Perfect Vidzone Team

I’ve just installed the update and VidZone crashed while launching… I think that my old 60 GB PS3 isn’t in your thoughts when you beta-tests the updates…

I love the new features, thanks guys!

Thanks Ben for the great update but I’ve still got a problem with the content…there’s too much rap and dance going up but hardly any rock…u no I see it a lot over the blog that people are asking for rock like linkin park and green day and slipknot and stone sour…u don’t even have any guns n’ roses or thirty seconds to mars! I think u need to listen a bit closer or at least give us a reason why they aren’t up…u talked about wanting vidzone to be perfect but if that’s the way u want it, these bands have to be there. Period. Bit of paramore wouldn’t go amiss either…my god Hayley is hot…:P

Awesome update! Now surprise us HD music videos !

Awesome update for an awesome piece of software.

Keep up the good work, I like the idea of music being displayed, already caught someone listening to Lady GaGa!

anyone else having problems downloading 1.04 ? each time i get the ‘update’ screen i press x, my ps3 does nothing for a few seconds – then i get the 3 beeps of doom and it resets to my start-up screen. any ideas? cheers.

oh, and more aphex twin would be nice (have to say well done on including stereo mc’s ‘what is soul?’ and req’s ‘subculture’ though). If you could find it in your heart to add some boards of canada, depth charge and public enemy…

Thanx, well done!
The guys that made FW 3.0 could lern a lot from you!

Hi,

I finally managed to come out of the ADSL wilderness as a certain Spanish telecom company finally got their act together after 4 months of waiting and I downloaded this on Saturday. I really liked it a lot and the improvements are for sure better, especially the search.

No maybe I haven’t studied it enough but how do you play the whole playlist? It seemed to play one song from the playlist and then jump to another random song. I could only play one at a time from the play list. Am I doing something wrong?

“We always said we were listening to what people wanted.”

That’s wonderful news, Ben!!!

So…since the 2nd week of Vidzone I have been requesting some Disturbed content, and other people have been asking about content they would like so…have you been doing anything to secure THESE wants or have you just been dealing with the aesthetics of the program itself and not the actual content?

Is there an option to shuffle when a playlist is on?

I don’t give a [DELETED] about the improvements of Vidzone because we in the Netherlands can’t watch it.
Put more effort in bringing it to us too.

Fantastic update along with the iplayer update really good

Ben thanks for the updates they all are good additions. Please allow maybe in a future update to switch the background colour from red to blue. I miss the blue .

Keep up the good support.

@JAYPHEX – When you launch Vidzone and it comes up with the ‘update patch page’ leave it for about 2 minutes until the hdd light turns off as vidzone still runs in the bkgrnd. then click ok on the update and it will be fine

best update yet!!!
loving the 16:9. it also seemed to load up in about half the time too.
thanx guys.
ps. all we need now is support for the official ps3 bd remote

Love the update. Fixed all of the major issues ie the searching. Now give it a bit more polish some nice community features and this is a winner. Thanks for a great update guys keep up the good work.

@ sumpunk the blu-ray remote is working now even when its on the default controller slot (7). Give it a go

That’s more like it.

I like VidZone. It’s getting better but I’d like to see some improvements to the interface. It needs to be faster to navigate.
