In order for PlayStation Vue to be truly successful and ubiquitous with your watching habits, it needs to be available on as many devices as possible. For the better part of 2016, Sony has been working on just that with the service now available on PlayStation devices, iPhone/iPad, Android, and Android TV. Starting today, you can add your web browser to that list as well.

Expanding to the web is something I never gave much thought to but it’s actually a brilliant move on their part. Netflix has already trained us that whether we’re away with our laptop or on a break at work, watching shows is as simple as logging in via our preferred browser. By bringing PlayStation Vue to the browser, Sony has brilliantly expanded the service’s reach by hundreds of millions of devices without needing to go through the process of building an app from the ground up.
With that, I do hope that this is a temporary solution for computer users and that Sony does eventually release a dedicated PS Vue app in both the Mac and Windows app stores, respectively. While the web browser is liberating and gives them access to users who might not ever discover or have access to the app store, especially for most Windows users who are on either older builds or are not accustomed to visiting it, a dedicated app has its benefits – from more robust UI to options and features simply not possible through HTML code.
Speaking of apps, I hope the next frontier Sony looks to cross is bringing PS Vue to Apple TV and I’m not the only one who wants it – just check out all the replies to the above tweet.

Back up your library
Before following any of these steps, it's a good idea to create a backup of your photo library, even if you use iCloud Photos. You can use Time Machine, use a third-party backup solution, or copy the library to an external drive. By default, your photo library is stored in the Pictures folder within your home folder.
Make sure that your software is up to date
Photos is part of the Mac operating system. You can avoid or fix many issues by running the most up-to-date version of macOS. Learn more about updating the software on your Mac.
If you use RAW images in Photos, learn more about the digital camera RAW formats supported by iOS, iPadOS, and macOS.

If you have trouble migrating an existing iPhoto or Aperture library to Photos
You might see an alert message when you first open Photos or migrate an existing iPhoto or Aperture library. Learn what to do if Photos can’t copy or create a library.
If the Media Browser isn't showing your photos and videos
Use the Media Browser to make images from your photo library available in other apps, like Pages and iMovie. The Media Browser shows only the contents of the Photos library designated as the System Photo Library. If you have more than one Photos library—and the one you're using isn't set as the System Photo Library—the Media Browser won't show its contents.
Follow these steps to designate the current library as the System Photo Library:
- Choose Photos > Preferences.
- Click the General button at the top of the Preferences window.
- Click Use as System Photo Library.
If you're having other issues with Photos
If you're experiencing other issues—like missing or blank photo thumbnails, unexpected behavior, or if Photos won’t open—try to see if it's an issue with your library by following these steps.
Run Vue App
Create a new Photos library and see if your issues persist:
- Quit Photos.
- Press and hold the Option key while you open Photos.
- In the dialog that appears, click Create New.
- Give your new library a name, then click OK. Note whether Photos opens successfully with this new library.
To return to your main Photos library, quit Photos. Then open it again while holding the Option key, select your main library, and click Choose Library.
Alternatively, you can open Photos in another user account on your Mac and note whether Photos opens successfully.
If Photos opens with the new library, or in a different user account, it might mean that there's an issue with your library. Follow the steps to use the Photos library repair tool on your main Photos library.
