#Building from Source
Dependencies are CMake, Qt 5 with QtMultimedia, QtOpenGL and QtSvg, FFMPEG (libavcodec with H264 is enough), libopus, OpenSSL 1.1, SDL 2,protoc and the protobuf Python library (only used during compilation for Nanopb). Then, Chiaki builds just like any other CMake project:
For more detailed platform-specific instructions, see doc/platform-build.md or switch/ for Nintendo Switch.
#Usage
If your Console is on your local network, is turned on or in standby mode and does not have Discovery explicitly disabled, Chiaki should find it.Otherwise, you can add it manually.To do so, click the '+' icon in the top right, and enter your Console's IP address.
You will then need to register your Console with Chiaki. You will need two more pieces of information to do this.
#Obtaining your PSN AccountID
Starting with PS4 7.0, it is necessary to use a so-called 'AccountID' as opposed to the 'Online-ID' for registration (streaming itself did not change).This ID seems to be a unique identifier for a PSN Account and it can be obtained from the PSN after logging in using OAuth.A Python 3 script which does this is provided in scripts/psn-account-id.py.Simply run it in a terminal and follow the instructions. Once you know your ID, write it down. You will likely never have to do this process again.
#Obtaining a Registration PIN
To register a Console with a PIN, it must be put into registration mode. To do this on a PS4, simply go to:Settings -> Remote Play -> Add Device, or on a PS5: Settings -> System -> Remote Play -> Link Device.
You can now double-click your Console in Chiaki's main window to start Remote Play.
#Acknowledgements
This project has only been made possible because of the following Open Source projects:Rizin,Cutter,Frida andx64dbg.
Also thanks to delroth for analyzing the registration and wakeup protocol,grill2010 for analyzing the PSN's OAuth Login,as well as a huge thank you to FioraAeterna for giving me someextremely helpful information about FEC and error correction.

A new Sony survey is asking PlayStation 4 owners whether they'd be keen on Remote Play on Nintendo Switch.
Ps4 Remote Desktop
The appropriately-named redditor YouRedditHereFirst revealed the details of the survey, which asks a raft of questions about Remote Play, as well as images of the questions.
Remote Play lets you stream your PS4 games to a raft of devices, including a PS Vita, PC or smartphone, that are also connected to your broadband network. There's DualShock 4 wireless controller suppport, too.
The headline question is this:
'Ability to PS4 Remote Play on more devices (eg able to play on Nintendo Switch, Apple TV or Android TV).'
Ps4 Remote Play On Switch
The user then selects how appealing they'd find that, choosing from five options.
Meanwhile, other questions posed by the survey suggest Sony is thinking about allowing Remote Play on a device that's not connected to the internet, allowing Remote Play without a PS4 connected to the internet, enabling access to PS1 and PS2 games, releasing a slim/portable DualShock controller that's easier to carry on-the-go, and letting you connect other controllers, such as an Xbox controller or mouse and keyboard.

Of course, this is just a survey, and Sony may never action anything mentioned here, let alone release the Remote Play app on Nintendo Switch. But the survey does provide us with a snapshot of Sony's thinking on the future of Remote Play, and it sounds pretty interesting.
