YouTube takes a little while to encode. It'll turn up.
Took like 15 min for me
It's just standard update protocol:
1. Update released.
2. Everybody is booted from the network at once.
3. First few people install the update and log in to the now-empty network.
4. "OMG, everything that uses the network is so fast now! Friends, trophies, Library. It's all lightning quick!"
5. Everyone else finishes installing the update and tries to log in at once.
6. Authentication server melts. Nobody can log in.

Yes.
Yeah, it's coming with the store update today.

Everyone gets it at the same time. I'm in Japan, and I got it same as everyone else.
Staggered updates would be a compatability and support nightmare.

Would the excessive traffic stop it from loading my LBP3 Beta or even signing in?
Yes.
Dedicated YT app is not part of a firmware, it will be up on PS4 Store.

Music player works great for me. Just plugged in my MP3 Player and it recognises it all in the music folder and folders thatt I put them in. It doesnt auto mute the in game music though.
The network seems to be down for me now, and you still cant check trophies when it is down, although they seem to have fixed the always syncing the trophies when you check them which is good.

Have to login to update...
But please, enlighten everyone on how Sony is supposed to do it, Mr Network Administrator.
Lol.
Because a minority of console ownwers have some problems that get (hopefully) fixed, there shouldn't be updates for the console?
Also you can remove the "Sony" part, because many updates from a lot of companies lead to some issues.
It's a small thing but really adds to the seamlessness of it.

They might still sit behind the same routers, and even if they don't, the login server will be overloaded as well as soon as everyone has downloaded the update and try to log back in.

people weren't booted from the network. I was just playing Destiny and seen people had the updates already. I had to back out and download the update manually, while still connected to PSN.
Yeah.

I was signed back online like immediately after posting the comment. No issues so far. Testing YouTube uploading now.
P.S I did nothing. Just booted up Evil Within which I was playing only to notice after a while that I was back online.

Dunno, but I can't sign in to the Trials Fusion server either. Just times out eventually with an error.
Oh wait, just got in finally.

yes,
also, PSN is flawless for me atm. Store + friends list is showing up and working smooth. i'm not in an online game though
Through the store, then they'll probably be added to the themes menu after purchase/download.

Will people stop saying it's just the fact PSN is getting hammered. It's got nothing to do with that. It's screwed my online up completely and I can't even log in.
Depends on the game. Some games do mute the in-game music, Driveclub does for instance.
The dynamic themes will come with the store update.

Oh wow just noticed there's a Capture Gallery option in each game's Live Area now.

Anyone getting "content cannot be selected at this time" when trying to get additional themes in the store?
The store and everything is working except this.

Yes, press X on a download to pause.

The store hasn't been updated yet. That's why.

Will the YouTube App work as I imagine it? As I'm trying to find all Dead Ghosts in Destiny and switching to YouTube and watch a guide and switching back would be nice, would this be the case now?
As I used the browser for it recently and it sucks as it always loads the page new when I'm switching.

No, you don't. At least that's how it worked when PSN got hacked. Game updates still downloaded despite PSN being down. You divide your infrastructure and put different tasks on different servers. I'm not a network admin and I know that.
