#Chiaki
Chiaki is a Free and Open Source Software Client for PlayStation 4 Remote Play for Linux, macOS, Windows and potentially even more platforms. Features Everything necessary for a full streaming session, including the initial registration and wakeup of the console, is supported. The following features however are yet to be implemented: Congestion. Remote Play quits and the screen returns to its original state before your Mac was connected to your PS4 console. To uninstall PS Remote Play, drag PS Remote Play from your Applications folder and into the trash. Then, go to Finder and select Empty trash. A PS5 console or PS4 console is required for Remote Play. With Remote Play, you can control your PlayStation® console remotely wherever you have a high-speed internet connection. Using the PS Remote Play app, you can control your PlayStation®5 console or PlayStation®4 console from a device in a different location.

#Project Status
As all relevant features are implemented, this project is considered to be finished and in maintenance mode only.No major updates are planned and contributions are only accepted in special cases.
#Installing
You can either download a pre-built release or build Chiaki from source.

directory on your SD card.
#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
Ps Remote Play Mac Download
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.
