      John Glasscock I have a external 3.5 inch 3TB hard drive. Plugged in through a NYKO data bank. Would it be safe to run a database rebuild on it ? Or would I corrupt things? I had to physically download Sony’s software to it when I installed it.

      brooks082 yes, it’s safe to run a database rebuild. I had my seagate 2tb plugged with 30 games installed, rebuilding database does *NOT* delete your data, photos, games, capture galleries, or any other saved data.

    A question unrelated to this video. Would you say that the ks8005 samsung 4k 55 tv is a great tv for the current 4k consoles? I personally reckon it looks great but I would like a 2nd opinion.

    Hi John. As you make a lot of tips for PS4 I have a question. I am trying to play Rocket League with a friend in split screen mode. And we tried this on a PC Monitor and also a TV. The problem is that it starts quite fluid but with time played it gets more an more laggy. I mean that it seems that the frames are going down. We do not know why and what to do. It is even a PS4 Pro and the graphic should not be the problem or? Thanks for any assistance. Greetings. Oli. P.S. Thank you for so many good videos.

    Thought I'd let you know, another way you could get an image you want as a theme/background is by using the ps messages app and sending yourself the images and screenshotting them on the PS4. It's what I've done for a while

      How do you send it to yourself?

      either ask someone to leave the messaging group or if you have another account send it to a group with that, I got lucky and someone already left a group for me.
