It is powered by MEncoder, FFmpeg, tsMuxeR, AviSynth, MediaInfo and more, which combine to offer support for a wide range of media formats.

DLNA browsing
When browsing a TV show in the Media Library, all videos across all seasons are visible. There are two new folders within the Movies and TV Shows folders - Filter by Progress and Filter by Information. Filter by Progress contains the Watched and Unwatched folders which used to sit within the Videos folder in the Media Library Filter by Information lets you filter the videos by a new rich metadata set (actors, genres, country, director, genre, IMDb rating, release date). Alongside that is a similar folder Filter by Information which lets you filter the videos by API metadata (actors, genres, etc.) New folders Recently Added, Recently Played, In Progress and Most Played are in the Media Library Web interface
Added breadcrumbs at the top of each page When in the TV Shows area of the Media Library, the TV shows themselves are shown as thumbnails, with covers from the API When browsing a TV show, a movie, or a TV episode, any API metadata is displayed along with a large cover image, including actors, awards, classification, country, directors, genres, plot, ratings, year, and total seasons. On those pages above, the colors on the pages are based on the cover image Clicking on an individual actor, country, director, genre, or start year, takes you to a list of other media that matches that metadata The last few items in the Recently Added, Recently Played, In Progress and Most Played folders are displayed on the front page Each TV show and movie has an IMDb icon and direct link if one is found Folder and media covers are shown Fixed bugs with the Back button Version has moved to the settings menu Minor design updates General

by Namerah Saud Fatmi
The names of titles to be added to Sony's monthly PlayStation Plus subscription service next month were announced today. In January 2021, PlayStation 4 owners who have the PS Plus membership will enjoy two freebies for the month. Meanwhile, PS5 users with the subscription will also get one free game.
Starting from January 5, PS4 users with the PS Plus subscription will be able to play action-adventure title Shadow of the Tomb Raider from the wildly popular Tomb Raider franchise. Square Enix debuted the game featuring Lara Croft at E3 2018. As for the second free title for the next month, that will be Greedfall, an ARPG video game developed by Spider and published by Focus Home Interactive. Incidentally, Greedfall also joined the Xbox Game Pass subscription earlier this month.
In addition to the freebies which will be available to PlayStation 4 gamers, Sony also announced that PlayStation 5 users with the PS Plus membership will get to play open-world RPG Maneater free of charge.
As usual, PlayStation Plus subscribers will have about one month to take advantage of their membership and play the free video games. The January 2021 games will be available until February 1, 2021.

Sony removes Cyberpunk 2077 from the PlayStation Store, offers full refunds to users
by Anmol Mehrotra
Cyberpunk 2077, once touted as a contender for Game of the Year award, had a troubled launch last week. The game was full of bugs and glitches, not to mention terrible performance on Xbox and PlayStation consoles.
Earlier, CD Projekt Red (CDPR) issued a public apology, promised refunds, and vowed to fix the game. Now, Sony has gone ahead and delisted the title from the PlayStation Store. Effective immediately, Sony is allowing all PlayStation players to request a no-questions-asked refund for the digital version Cyberpunk 2077 purchased from the store. PlayStation users will now see a refund option in their library that they can use to get a refund if they don't want to hold onto Cyberpunk 2077. CDPR, on the other hand, said that console users can expect two big patches in January and February 2021. However, if you don't want to wait or are unhappy with the game, then you can go ahead and ask Sony for a refund.
Following the announcement, CDPR has published a statement confirming the delisting. The company acknowledged Sony's decision and noted that it was taken after a discussion between both the parties. CDPR also assured that the game will continue to receive support regardless of Sony's decision to remove the game. Moreover, it also noted that gamers can still buy physical copies of the game, should they wish to do so.
After this drastic step, it will be interesting to see if Microsoft will do the same considering the fact that Cyberpunk 2077 runs poorly on Xbox One consoles as well. That said, the game runs reasonably well on Xbox Series X|S.
Update: In a statement to Reuters, Adam Kicinski, President, CDPR has confirmed that the company is not in talks with Microsoft about the possible delisting of Cyberpunk 2077 from the Microsoft Store after Sony decided to remove the game from the PlayStation Store.

Sony is permanently banning PS5 owners selling access to PlayStation Plus Collection
by Usama Jawad
A major advantage a PlayStation Plus subscription offers to new owners of the PlayStation 5 is immediate access to 20 high-quality PlayStation 4 games. Games such as Uncharted 4, Until Dawn, Bloodborne, God of War, and more are playable at no extra cost under the "PlayStation Plus Collection" umbrella. Once claimed, these games are playable across both the PlayStation 5 and the PlayStation 4. Now, Sony is permanently banning some PlayStation 5 owners for exploiting this offer.
Citing several now-removed forum posts, GamerBraves claims that Sony is issuing permanent bans to PlayStation 5 owners who have been selling access to this collection of games. How this "exploit" works is that some PS5 owners create listings online for fees as low as $8 according to one Malaysian listing, and ask people to share their account credentials to gain access to the collection. Shared credentials can then be used to create an account on a PS5 which also gives that account instant access to the games on the originally associated PS4.
Apart from the fact that this is an exploitative technique which Sony definitely does not want people to employ, the security implications of sharing account credentials with strangers on the internet are enormous.
As such, Sony is handing out bans to players on both sides - sellers and buyers - for engaging in this practice. The report claims that sellers have been issued permanent bans while accounts of buyers have been banned for two months. An account ban entails losing access to all content tied to it, including games purchased using those credentials. For the selling parties, this means permanent loss while for people buying their services, this means that they will be able to access their content from the same account again after two months.
