This is not universal. We had a long discussion in another thread that some receivers need certain modes enabled to pass through the high bandwith the PS5 produces. Several of us have Yamaha receivers without HDMI 2.1 (several years old) and we are getting 4k HDR pass through with no issues once all settings are appropriately set. That is, the receiver has various HDMI modes based on what you want to pass through and you need to enable the correct one, it has nothing to do with the PS5, it's entirely a receiver settings issue.

Interesting. Ok. I should say "widespread" then. I have a hdmi 2.2 and have issues on my Pioneer. Many others with other brands are having similar issues. It a matter of "settings" for any of us.
Can you link me to the discussion and solution of correct settings your found?
I'll try to find that thread, it was last week. But here's the manual for the Yamaha receiver, see page 130 on the right for "Selecting 4k Modes". https://content.abt.com/documents/71955/RXV681BL_manual.pdf
I wonder if other brands have similar settings, people just don't realize it as it has not been an issue on previous consoles with lower bandwidth.
Have you tried this, since you mentioned you have a Pioneer? It's not in the manual apparently, it's something they added on the web a couple of years ago.
It seems to be the equivalent of what I had to do on my Yamaha, turn on an "enhanced" HDMI mode that allows higher bandwidth signal.
Yup. Me and a ton of other people with different receivers have it on enhanced mode and it's still not working. Any other device with the same bandwidth requirements works.
Here's a few quotes from people with issues:
I don't think so as I have a pioneer receiver and have the same issue.

I think I have Dualsense not charging problem too. I set the power setting in rest mode to "always" and it still didn't fix. I read some people suggesting using rear USB port? That would suck if I can't use the front USB to charge.

I'll try this in a few minutes. I'll update.
Thank you.
Likely it's just a little firmware glitch cutting power to that USB port instead of leaving it active. Hopefully should be an easy fix.
The DualSense? Yeah, happened to me the other night. I used the controller to put the PS5 into Rest Mode. Before I did it I checked the battery charge and it had 2 out of 3 bars. I did not plug it in overnight.
Next day, maybe 12-14 hours later when I tried using the controller to wake the system, the controller was completely dead and wouldn't turn the system on. Had to use the supplied cable plugged into a back USB port and then manually press the power button on the PS5 and then the controller started charging.
No clue what happened. As an experiment I changed the controller setting to always use the cable instead of Bluetooth when it's plugged in. Unsure if that will do anything. My wacky theory was that if somehow the controller was still trying to contact the system via Bluetooth and drained it..this might help. Not based on anything, just troubleshooting. Haven't seen it happen the last couple nights.
I noticed the disc randomly decided to spin up at max speed for 20 secs or something, and the disc was just sitting there for hours. It happened twice over about 8 hours. I haven't found any clear pattern. I wasn't playing the game that was in the drive.
Obviously the drive will be noticeable while installing, it's a 10x drive as opposed to the PS4's 6x. I'm not surprised they needed rubber grommets for damping the vibration.
Some people might have one of their disc that is unbalanced, these things happen.
It's also spinning up a short time when you start a game that's on disc for the copy protection.
Can someone tell me what all these 4 to 15 megabyte files that are on my SSD that represent my PS4 games stored on an external HDD? The worst one is Until Dawn which is over 1 GB. Right now all these files are taking up 2.7GB of storage.
Mine doesn't seem to have the same pathway to adjusting that. I tried and got nothing. This is my manual: https://intl.pioneer-audiovisual.com/manuals/docs/SN29402809A_VSX-LX102_BAS_En_171113_web.pdfIf any of y'all have issues with HDR and Pioneer receivers, try this:

It does support it though:

Looks like the latest update unfortunately didn't fix my Database Corruption / Rebuild Database / Restore License issue ( CE-109801-9 )

Our of curiosity, why are you trying to restore license? I never knew what that option does.
Only issue I had so far was rest mode issue once. When I came back on out had to repair my external ssd. I switched rest mode usb power to always on and have not had any problems since. I have about 14 hours in demons souls and platinum in astro. My gf also platinumed astro. So hopefully fingers crossed, my system stays stable.
Ok I found this about the VSX line of receivers:
This does indeed let you change the options. However, I tried all of them and still the same issue, I can set it to 4k and even select "automatic" on the HDR setting, but when I exit or click "adjust HDR" it says "not available."
This is different than when I turn off HDMI Enchanced as it just stays at 1080p and if I change it 4k it tells me it is unable to go to 4k and keep HDR.

Its exactly the same as you would of had on a ps4. If you connect that external drive to a ps4, and check your storage, you'll have a section at the bottom called "other" that gets bigger the more games you have. Its the same on a ps5. What its actually for i don't know, but its completely normal and something you have to live with. Mine is over 30gb because I have an 8tb external drive that is almost full.
I've never used an external drive on my PS4 because they didn't allow USB hubs to be connected to them so this is the first time I've used an external drive. The "Other" category I thought was just reserved space for the OS that it needs for various functionality but these files aren't in the "Other" section. They're listed as games. What happens if you delete these files? It's kind of weird how they're all small but then Until Dawn is so big. With the SSD so small, every bit of space counts so it sucks that this is just wasting space.
I believe if you delete them, they will just come back.
I believe people thought "other" was initially for incomplete downloads and patches etc but then figured out that its to do with what I mentioned. I will see if I can dig out where I read it
I have no external drive (except a USB key I use to backup/restore my PS5 save files and system config). Other is growing when I install a new game from disc, and it goes down when I delete games.
It went down by 1GB when I deleted Astrobot. It grew by over 10GB when I installed Demonsouls, which is 52GB despite the box saying it requires 66GB.
Is this the space for updates? The install data is split? It does add up to the install size claim, but the main storage is not displaying it correctly, or I don't understand the way it's displayed. Like Spiderman MM is 39GB main data, and 39GB english language data, which seems to be the full install, it's just plain 39GB, not two sections.

It's sort of a perpetual loop for me. If I go through the PS Store, grab anything like addons, etc. my UI really slows down, eventually results in a rebuild database. After this, my game library starts count from 0, and slowly goes up, with lock icons next to all of my games. The Restore License traditionally would force a push from the PS servers down and sync everything up, and sort of let you see a progress bar for the process. But doing so for me causes a database rebuild.
Additionally when I've crashed in Demons Souls, has resulted in needing to perform a Database Rebuild as well. Sort of a loop.
I'm trying to access kakarot s2 dlc on my ps5 but it says I need to install the dlc. I check the store and it says it's purchased. Any way to check dlc content installed, or to force just the dlc to reinstall?
EDIT: Spoke to Sony chat and they told me to restore licenses and it worked!

I'm trying to download Demon's Souls and I keep getting error code NW-102264-5. Anyone dealt with this before?
It says that it can't connect to the server and something about a problem connecting to the network, or PlayStation Network or the server or service provider might be temporarily busy.

I recorded a quick and sloppy video capturing the clicking noise I describe. This is heard throughout the video and is happening each time I press R2 to swing in Miles Morales in the video. You can hear it the moment the video kicks off. (Ignore the sound of me moving the stick or pressing button itself)
Hmmm...I've played Spider-Man Remastered for about 3 hours straight today. I'm pretty sure this is the longest I've gone without crashing. Aside from the update, I also plugged the PS5 directly into the wall because I heard some shit that it may be acting weird with surge protectors.
That seems weird as shit, but whatever. Have an external HD hooked up and have been using rest most, even though I've closed every game before using it.
I realize I'm probably jinxing myself here, but I kinda want too. So anxious waiting for the crash.

I have avoided Spider-Man because people have been reporting issues with.
I was playing it fine until today so I thought I was ok. Sucks because I really want to play it but now I'm afraid to even try after what happened.
I've been having a really weird issue with my PS5 disc edition and specifically my copy of Demon's Souls. I put the disc in and the disc drive sounds like it's having a really hard time reading the disc -- there's a lot of activity and it's almost like it's 'stuck' on something with the disc. Checked the disc, no marks, smudges or fingerprints. Just to be on the safe side, I tried to wipe it down with a cloth.
I tried a different game, Spider Man Miles Morales, and had no problem with installing the game. In fact, it took less than 10 minutes to get set up.
I contact PlayStation support and they think it's a hardware/disc drive issue despite my testing another game.
I've been watching my PS5 install Demon's Souls for THREE HOURS now. The sound of activity has lessen and it's installing the game without too much sound from the disc drive, albeit slowly. The problem is if I eject the disc....it starts the copying/install process all over again.
I contacted Amazon for a replacement copy but I'm hoping I won't have the same issue with another copy of the game.

Played Valhalla for probably 10 hours this past weekend with zero issues, along with a few other games.
Last night, I popped in the Dirt 5 PS4 disc, downloaded the PS5 upgrade, played the first race, was loading into the next track and the PS5 beeped and shut down.
I started it back up, it ran through internal and external drive repairs, started up Dirt 5 again and finished 4 more races without an issue before turning it off for the night.
Tonight, I updated the PS5 and a Dirt 5 patch that released, started the game, loading into the first track it beeped and shut down. Started it back up, went through the repair stuff again, got back into the game and my save was corrupted so I had to restart.
Made it through 3 more races and it beeped and shut down again. Started it back up, repair ran, started up the game, save file seems fine at least. Powered down the system, I'm done for the night.
Loving the system and Dirt 5, hating the gamble that my save might corrupt again.

So is there any correlation between the shut downs and external HDDs? How does it happen? what makes them result?
Welp. PS5 just shut down again while playing Miles Morales. 2nd time within the last 30 minutes. Didn't happen a single time while playing Remastered.
There has to be because I see a lot of people complaining about this but it's never happened for me. I'm not sure what I did to set it other than maybe turn off auto updates on the games.
Yeah. I have no idea what to do. I also don't want to turn off auto update on my PS4 games for obvious reasons.
Nope, only thing you can do right now is choose which version you boot up when you hit play by going into the ... setting next to it and choosing a version. Just let it finishing installing PS4 version so it stops doing that.
Yeah I'd like to know this as well. Currently every PS4 disc I pop in with a PS4 upgrade installs both. Been pushing the PS4 install to an external drive to avoid eating up internal storage.
My thumbsticks are starting to mess up. They "twitch" at the lightest touch, and im talking like im not visibly moving them, just lightly brushing my finger on top and it's making the camera in game spin in circles on its own.
Left stick is doing something similar but making the character move and twitch around.

I get not wanting to turn it off. I have to since I've got a 1TB data cap and a ton of games. I would hate to be blowing through hundreds of gigs of data on updates every month from leaving it on. Some of the updates can be painful in size, like Call of Duty...
I'm literally doing that right now with a PS4 game and I'm only downloading the PS5 version that the disc gives me access to. It's not installing the PS4 version at all.
Is it safe to put this thing in rest mode yet. I have some games i want to download over night.
I'm not sure thats the disc. I heard it do this yesterday, But I figured it was the fan ramping up to spit out excess air, then it chills again on the low speed. Does it every 3-5 hours.
I've had no issues like this so far and I don't have any external HDD/SSDs plugged in at the moment because of the bugs of having one. it does make me think external storage could be a factor
