PS Vita Accessories and Advice

If you're having trouble with, or want to enhance your PS Vita, I'm slowly putting together some tips and troubleshooting guides.

VIDEO HELP

Lots of people ask how to get videos from YouTube or other online sources for offline viewing. All you need is the URL of the video, then go to savefrom.net on your Vita and enter the URL there. The site will download the file to the right app and it can manage Soundcloud, Vimeo, Yandex, Dailymotion and quite a few others.

To play a YouTube video that's longer than an hour, you need to options, by tapping the three vertical dots next to the search spyglass. Scroll down the pop-up menu and tap Desktop. Now audio mixes, longer videos and those random old movies that folk put up on YouTube will play.

What the YouTube site on Vita doesn't play, and likely never will is live event streams. For now, all you can do is see if there's a stream on Twitch and use that app.

CRASHES AND ERRORS

The most common tip is for a locked, crashed Vita or one with a constantly flashing blue PS light. Simply hold down the power button for a few seconds (sometimes with the right trigger pressed) - until you see the restart menu. Choose the first "Restart the PS Vita System" option and that should do the trick.
