Pocket-lint - Sony has had huge success with the PlayStation 4 since its launch two years ago, trouncing rival Xbox One in sales figures globally. But while it has been considered the ultimate current gen games machine - even by Sony with its "this is for the players" tagline - its competition has consistently garnered more headlines for all-round entertainment.
The primary use of a PS4 will undoubtedly still be to play games on, but as a living room machine it is capable of doing much more. Some features that were lacking on launch, when it was targeted at hardcore gamers more often than not, are now present thanks to new apps or firmware updates.

And what's more, it is far better than the PS3 was capable of. Sony's new Media Player app is capable of streaming a vast collection of file types stored on a home server, Mac or PC, all over the home network wired or wirelessly. Even MPEG-2 video can be played.
Files can be presented through lists or in the more common PS4 tile format, and if they are of video or picture origin, you also get a thumbnail for each. If you want a more in-depth and content rich media streaming experience, you might want to check out the PS4 version of the Plex application.
