Homebrew RELEASE Chiaki (PS5 & PS4 remote play) homebrew

[RoyGelissen]

He isnt and apparently he hasnt been here on gbatemp in a while either. Damn it. Chiaki was something I used on daily basis :'(

Yeah me as well.

i'm sure he already reads the comments here, so let's just wait. we can still use psplay on switchroot though if we really want to remote through switch.

Hopefully he does

How does this work?

i saw him online a couple days ago in this thread, that's why i know he already read our message.

switchroot is an android os developed for switch. you can check https://switchroot.org/ if you're interested. once you're done setting up, you can install psplay through the play store.

Thank you. Will give it a try.

Here is a script I wrote to make it easier to retrieve the account ID without needing to install Python, or other dependencies.

Unlike other solutions I have seen, this doesn’t require third party oauth authentication. But does require some knowledge of browser developer tools.

Thank you. This works like a charm.

Still works if you haven't updated your PS4/PS5 firmware I assume

I'm on latest PS4 OFW and Chiaki. Just used @Vinnymac's method and it works great.

This works.
add your PlayStation through add host but make sure to make the display name different from the name that shows up when searching for available PlayStations.

For example, my PS5 is named PSPali and showed as such automatically in chiaki. I added it instead through add host and just gave it the name PS5 and registered it. I see my added PS5 and PSPali below it as unregistered. The registered PS5 works.

Add host and using your consoles name does not work either, you have to make the display name different

This was not the case for me with my PS4.
It's named PS4-211 (never changed it) and Chiaki sees it as such and I registered it with that name. It works just perfect.
Maybe it only affects PS5?

You're the best. Finally got it working again your way. Now to figure out how to delete the other unregistered ps5

The best way to do this is to edit the chiaki.conf file inside the /switch/chiaki folder with an editor. I use vgedit from the homebrew store.

Dumb question but how do you exit Chiaki/get back to the menu?

I usually just put the PS4 into rest mode, then Chiaki returns to its menu when the stream stops.
