The app–simply titled Media Player–is now available on PSN. If you browse through the PS4’s content area, you’ll find a Media Player tile that allows you to download it.
You can stream files off of a home server or a USB stick that you plug into the system. Many of the major file formats you’d hope for are supported, such as MKV, AVI, and MP4.
