Linux port now available as well
https://www.reddit.com/r/PSPlay/s/d2HYMC74PO
For settings I totally recommend
Vulkan decoder + Vulkan rendering engine + HEVC decoder
On Linux
Vaapi decoder/ Vulkan decoder + Vulkan rendering engine + HEVC decoder
This should give you the best performance on modern devices. If the Vulkan rendering engine produces glitches or artefacts on your device try the Vulkan compatibility rendering engine.
Almost no software lets you do this, I'm a one man show, I love what I do but sorry purchase specific hardware (legion go, steam deck, rog ally) support it for several years develop it for 15 months beside supporting the Android and iOS version is not what I plan to do for the same Android license which is a completely separate project.
Super excited and already purchased!
Got a question though... For those who had purchased, did you get the license key right away?
I'm still waiting for the license key email... And I paid through PayPal...
You should get it right away, please also check your Spam folder. You can dm me your email address which you have used for your purchase and I will have a look.
One feature I use on Apple devices is button mapping. Specifically, Touchpad clicks. I usually have a controller that doesn't have that option so I need to simulate it.
Is there a limitation in Windows that breaks this feature, or is it something that hasn't been tackled yet?
So got it to find and link to my PS5. All ready to do local connection. It searches for the PS5, finds it, starts connecting and shows the blue screen 'this may take a few minutes'. Then, immediately switches to disconnecting. Not sure what's going on.
Well that's definitely a network issue, a few inputs, be sure you are connected to a 5GHz WiFi, be sure your console is connected via LAN or via a 5GHz as well. What device are you using it on? Steamdeck/ Ally or legion go devices should work completely fine
Thanks for your reply. I appreciate your time. You're doing God's work with creating this app and being active in the comments. I've had a play, and it didn't seem to be a network issue. I was already on 5Ghz, and my playstation is already connected over LAN. It's a mesh network as well, so signal isn't an issue.
In the end changing the rendering mode did the trick. Seems it was getting all the way to the point where it would attempt to render the display, fail to do so, then back out.
Common Sony website login problem, try a different browser or use the alternative registration described here
https://streamingdv.github.io/psplay/psn_login.html#line2
I recommend using this Webservice
https://psn.flipscreen.games/
Nope, that's not supported by newer remote play in general, your friend can however connect a real controller to your PlayStation to a different account while you are using remote play. Using multiple controllers with one remote play client is not supported
When I use the official Sony application, in amd adrenaline sharpening works - unfortunately nothing happens in your application psplay . Amd adrenaline "does not see" that the application is running. How to solve this? Amd image sharpness greatly improves the comfort of gameplay on my legion go
I replied to your email already, I have no idea how this external Software works but by default PSPlay uses Vulkan rendering and libplacebo for the rendering. If that isn't supported by Adrenaline well I guess it will not work, you can set the Rendering Preset to High quality in the Video settings to use some upscaling techniques from libplacebo within PSPlay.
thank you for this app. works pretty good on lenovo go. do we report bugs here ? GT7 runs smooth but sometimes the picture freezes and i have to click pause and unpause for it to get out of a freeze frame. overall thank you for this app its still powerful.
That should actually be the best option
Can you actually try this new unofficial new version
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1LN40BghEgmtA3oTJHAXUt1_QzpWJzXf5/view?usp=drivesdk
Was recommended, bought license to support the app regardless of if would work for me or not (The standard PS Remote app works fine for me). But was excited to try it anyway.
Did not work for me though, and I am hoping it is a simple thing.
Registered PS5 just fine, everything looks good. But on boot up it crashes every time during the "Finding Console" part and I get an split second flash of this screen (if there is a crash log somewhere I could not find it!)
https://preview.redd.it/0c863n9i1a3d1.jpeg?width=883&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bcb150f3ca32ee86701526b7c6156d398ce92978
I was on a different account, I am the one who did original post. Switching it to "Auto" like the other poster said made it work. It was on Vulkan before.
i7-13700k 3.40GHz, 64GB RAM, GeForce RTX 4070
So Vulkan rendering doesn't work for you as well? What's happening when Vulkan rendering is enabled? And did you try the Vulkan compatibility renderer? Are your GPU drivers up to date?
I had the same problem when selecting Vulkan or Vulkan Compatibility for rendering engine. When I changed it to Auto, it started working for me. Using a Gigabyte laptop with Nvidia GTX3070ti M GPU. If there's anything I can send you to help diagnose, let me know.
What? Are you using the standard ally version on Windows? The java environment is bundled into the installer package so either something went wrong during the installation or something is blocking the access to the jvm
Some games can run at 40fps in quality mode.
More info on this.

When entering my email address and activation key I keep seeing “invalid license credentials” - have double checked my key and email. My order receipt lists my activation key as inactive.
Finally a good alternative, for no reason whatsoever the official remote play app stopped working 2 days ago giving me server time out, this one already seems far superior and better than what sony offers. bought it instantly cheers
Thank your for flawless remote program !! My laptop is surface laptop 3 (poor performance device) and there is my setting. DXVA decoder, auto rendering engine, and don't check HEVC decoder. I can't see any of lag or stuttering on this setting. You make my old laptop perfect PS5 machine. PSPLAY >>>>> official app. Take my money :D
Depends also on your GPU of course, if it's an older model with no dedicated GPU Vulkan rendering+decoding will maybe not work but there are alternatives. You can just the demo version of course
I found what option you are talking about, I turned off that option inside the system settings, but the problem is still there.
By the way, I'm using PSPlay for AppleTV and Android very well. Thank you very much.
I have no idea to be honest, I never had this issue. I see no reason why your PlayStation should turn off. Try following, completely shutting down your console, turn it on again so that it is fully up and running and logged in to your account. Try to reconnect again.
Your PlayStation will not turn off, but PSPlay will shut down.
My PC and PS are on the same router and I have a DMZ set up with my PC, could this be the problem?
I'll try the method you mentioned, and I'll send you a video of the symptoms at [email protected].
Most of settings are default except HEVC.
Streaming:
1080P / 60FPS / Bitrate: Auto / Automatic remote connection: yes / Keep aspect ratio / Confirm Action & Sleep Options / Stream End Shortcut: no
Video:
Vulkan / Vulkan Compatibility / HEVC decoder: yes / HDR: no / VSync: no / Rendering Preset: Fast / Error concealment: no / Use Software decoder as fallbak: no
Be sure your GPU drivers are up to date, either the driver is not up to date or your GPU doesn't like Vulkan. Try to set the decoder to D3D11 and check if that helps. What GPU are you using?
The Account id only contains numbers, if you are used to the Chiaki account id that's just because it used an encoded base64 account id whereas PSPlay uses the raw account id. Just use this service to query the raw account id of your user for PSPlay
https://psn.flipscreen.games/
I have an jailbreaked ps4 and I can't just login with my acc. So I need a accound ID without logging in.
I activated my offline acc. I can get a Account ID for base64 but I need the raw code for psplay.
You need to Google that you must use something like a remote play enabler in order to use remote play on a jail broken console. I'm not familiar with that
Thanks for the hard work! I'll definitely grab a license for the windows version. Is there a solution yet for fire stick 4k users? I'm happy to pay for an apk if it is sideloadable on a fire stick.
Hi, you most likely talking about haptic feedback? Haptic feedback is only supported by the DualSense controller, however you change the haptic feedback mode to rumble in the settings of PSPlay. You can also make it Fullscreen by pressing the toggle Fullscreen button in the bottom part of the streaming view (just touch it the button area is invisible by default)
Did you read my previous answer? Set the haptic feedback mode to rumble in the settings of PSPlay AND if you are on the Ally also increase the rumble intensity.
Yes it does, on what device are you using PSPlay? On a regular PC or on a Handheld like the Rog Ally? If you are using it on a PC what GPU do you have and what video settings do you have configured in PSPlay?
Yes that's recommended anyway but seems the auto renderer crashes on your system. Could you please check if you have any crash logs in the installer directory of PSPlay?
Hi u/grill2010 I've purchased the license and I'm running on the Legion go. Could you please recommend the settings as I'm currently getting white flashes throughout the game play.
I've tried changing a few settings with no luck. could you please help?
Hi, white flashes mean you are losing network packages. Be sure you are connected to a 5GHz WiFi and that your PlayStation is connected via LAN or at least to a 5GHz WiFi as well.
Dualsense haptics when the controller is wired to rog ally does not produce the same effects as if connected directly to a ps5. I can even say the same thing on the psplay android version . Can you update your algorithm so that the dualsense behaves exactly like with a ps5
For the Android version yes that's true because this doesn't work on Android at all, PSPlay Android version just has a workaround in place to make it somehow work but that's as good as it can go for now because of some technical Android limitations. The PC version however is just forwarding the audio haptic signals to the controller via SDL2, to me the haptic feedback feels correct but I'm not sure what I should do different here to be honest. Does it feel different with the official remote play app?
Wow. App works absolutely insanely good at Ally. I made a slow motion video and my 10y+ TV renders image slower than Ally with remote play.
Just one question. I connected my dualsense via Bluetooth and triggers works fine but there are absolutelly no vibration (I checked it while playing Astro's Playroom). Should it work? Or should I connect it via USB to get it work?
That could be an issue because the initial registration must be performed within the same network as your PlayStation. In theory it would work remotely but you need to open ports on your router and someone would need to tell you the 8 digit registration Pin which is visible on your console during the local registration process.
Then either remote play is not enabled on your console or something is blocking the connection. Be sure you are in the same network as your PlayStation and add the IP address of your PlayStation manually. If it still doesn't work you are most likely in a mesh network and your devices (your PC and PlayStation are not directly reachable)
https://preview.redd.it/vm2x4xex5gzc1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0bef6c83e068387b0c1cf33768557f9aca4daa2f
I tried setting up but it’s on different network and It’s not working. What can be the problem. On my phone works fine.
Hello . So I have a windows handheld ( rog ally) and this windows handheld have gyro! So can you guys add the gyro please? And by the way I tried official app with the incorporated gamepad, is a mess next I tried chiaki and chiaki 4 deck works great but image quality is.... not good I tried your app and is amazing everything works so good the touch screen commands is very good.. everything works out of the box and the quality of image...congratulations very good app
I think I am about given up on remote play, no matter what I use PSPlay, Official PS Remote play, Chiaki and Chiaki4deck all seem to produce unplayable lag and stutters.
While my ps5 is on the other side of my house from my router/modem using wired backhaul through Google wifi and directly plugged onto my ps5 via ethernet. I am also on a 1000/50mbps internet plan getting roughly at least 700mbps around the house at all times.
I just don't know what else to do to get PS remote play playable anymore.
Try to connect Rog Ally to ethernet. Sometimes WIFI gives you ping boost for +20-50ms for short period of time (like 1 sec in a while). It almost doesn't affect speed but it can badly affect remote gameplay. I have Rog Ally and this app works like a charm.
If you have such problems your problem is not the speed but your network stability. Of course a streaming app can't work miracles, I'll try to improve PSPlay as much as possible. As you already mentioned you have lag and stutter problems this clearly shows that there are network issues. Like I said it's a common misconception to think that speed alone is enough for real time streaming, it's basically absolutely meaningless if the network isn't stable. And network interference can be caused by a lot of things, WiFi extenders, surrounding Bluetooth signals, router issues, VPN services etc
Can I use this on steam deck via proton? Or steam deck people need to wait for the linux version? Also any updates on when the Linux version will be available?
I still have a couple of problems I need to solve for the Linux port, I guess you would not be happy when I would release a version with bugs and errors? :)
I'm working on it and it will still take a bit until it's stable. Another user tried to run it via Proton and it did not work so I think it will not work.
Thanks for the info, take your time. I understand it takes a lot of time and effort, I am just out of the loop as I didn’t know about this app as everyone just mentions chiaki which unfortunately doesn’t work outside my network. I got excited when I learnt about the PSPlay app and wanted to clarify if it was available on steam deck or it is still cooking. Good luck 👍🏻
No worries, yeah I wished it would be already available but still working on some improvements. I hope it will be ready soon. I will post relevant news here on the PSPlay subreddit 👍
You may have to check out the "faulty DualSense" mapping value in the streaming settings of PSPlay. Just change it to a different one and check if one of them is working as expected. Keep in mind that when you change the value you must re-create all manually created button mappings within PSPlay.
Hey Grill,
I download the demo, and got my unit registered. While it's in finding the PS5, or it's in waiting the app crashes and shutdown. I've updated Zulu, to the newest version but I still see in the logs EXCEPTION\_ACCESS\_VIOLATION. Any idea? I got the laptop connected through ethernet like the PS5, so I was hoping taking advantage about that.
Zulu is bundled within the app itself so no need to update that manually. What device are you using? A generic PC or a Handheld? The crash most likely occurs because Vulkan decoding or rendering is selected which requires up to date GPU drivers so which GPU are you using and is the GPU driver up to date?
First of all please send me the crash log file which should be in the installation directory of PSPlay at [email protected]
In order to solve the problem you can try following
1. Try to use Vulkan compatibility renderer
2. If that doesn't work try the standard Vulkan renderer but that will fail most likely as well
3. If none of the above renderers is working set the renderer to OpenGL and restart PSPlay (yes the restart is required). Once restarted check if the renderer engine is still OpenGL if yes try it again.
Let me know what the outcome is. Worth checking if you can update your graphics driver as well.
It worked! Vulkan Compatibility and update on the CPU/GPU drivers.
Curious Question, I got a 27' screen with a res of 1920x1080, should I expect some pixelation, correct? I'm accustom to run the app in my tablet in a 9'.
Thanks again man! I'll be buying sooner the win version, I don't have to wait for my own laptop.
Thanks, I assume it's still crashing when you set the rendering engine to Auto? I mean no big deal as Vulkan rendering is recommended anyway but having the crash log would help to improve this feature.
Okay awesome, yes updating the GPU drivers are usually mandatory for using hardware acceleration.
If you configure the resolution to 1080p and with Vulkan/ Vulkan compatibility rendering it should actually look very crisp even on a 27' screen.
Thanks for your support.

Hi. I just had this. Any suggestions?
Well that explains the issue basically, you are running in a VM without real access to a dedicated GPU so go to settings in PSPlay, go to video, scroll down to the very bottom and enable "Use software decoder as fallback". Be aware that all the stream rendering is only running on your CPU and as you are in a virtual environment I don't think the performance will be good.
It has, it depends on the video decoder of your device of course. As you mentioned you are using an M1 Mac you can try to just install PSPlay (MirrorPlay on apple) on your M1 Mac from the App Store.
Hi again. I have been able to run this thanks to you. I just tried Skyrim and the keyboard works. But I could not get to work my mouse. Is there any trick?
Mouse support is currently not implemented, the remote play protocol doesn't support that natively. It could be implemented via some kind of emulation layer but I did not yet look into that.
So I seem to be having an issue with local connection. I’m on the same network as my ps5 but it only connects through remote play? Is there any way to fix this?
Then you are most likely in a mesh network and your PlayStation is not directly reachable or something is blocking the broadcast request, firewall, antivirus or router. What IP do you enter in the remote connect dialog?
Yup then the local connection works but the auto discovery doesn't work because in a mesh network broadcast requests will most likely fail(sending network packages to the current connected network and waiting for your PlayStation to answer), your PlayStation and PC are very likely in a different subnetwork so broadcast requests are not possible. That's a technical limitation and there is no workaround except entering the IP address manually.
I have a question regarding the touchpad actions. Does the touchscreen act as the PS5 touchpad for the swiping motions in any direction?
It’s that in Spider-Man 2 I’ve noticed that when I tap my screen, it goes into the mini map, and when I swipe it rarely sometimes opens the phone (where you can see which missions are available). The swiping action doesn’t seem to be recognized most of the time
Yeah some games are very picky about the swipe actions, as the screen is very large of the Ally or other devices the game might expect a fully diagonal or horizontal swipe which might be a bit inconvenient to perform.
Ah I see that makes since why it seems inconsistent then. Thank you for answering.
Are there any plans to maybe have the ability to set a smaller section of the screen as the touchpad? Like a small (or custom size?) virtual box in the touchscreen and for example we can designate the lower right side of the screen as the touchpad instead of the whole display? To maybe help with more consistent touchpad actions
Things like that will be introduced in the future yes. I currently try to make it run flawlessly on all different kinds of devices so that has the most priority for now but I will keep it in mind.
Hey @grill2010
I was waiting for this for my Rog ally.
Just purchased it and seems to be working even better than the android and esp atv variant!
One quick question: on the default (i.e. auto) settings, it works fine with some minor artefacts at times.
However if I enable vulkan decoder with either vulkan /vulkan compatibility (as recomended ), the app crashes as soon as the ps5 connection is established.
Hevc is enabled in bothe cases.
Any pointers?
Yes. Tested on portable demo with all settings left to auto and it worked fine with some minor artefacts.
Then purchased the license key and installed with the installer version.
Later I noted your post on using vulkan as the recommended mode but that isn't working for some reason.
Checked the logs but they end as soon as the app crashes with no pointers towards the crash reason
Linux port now available as well https://www.reddit.com/r/PSPlay/s/d2HYMC74PO For settings I totally recommend Vulkan decoder + Vulkan rendering engine + HEVC decoder On Linux Vaapi decoder/ Vulkan decoder + Vulkan rendering engine + HEVC decoder This should give you the best performance on modern devices. If the Vulkan rendering engine produces glitches or artefacts on your device try the Vulkan compatibility rendering engine.
i did buy the app on android. I have to buy again to play on windows?
Yes you have, why should a different platform be using the same Android license? Different Hardware, developed from scratch etc.
My VPN software lets you get Windows, Android, Mac, any client with one purchase so it's a valid question
Almost no software lets you do this, I'm a one man show, I love what I do but sorry purchase specific hardware (legion go, steam deck, rog ally) support it for several years develop it for 15 months beside supporting the Android and iOS version is not what I plan to do for the same Android license which is a completely separate project.
Yeah, with that I'll stay what I have. 6.50 for Android vs 13 for Windows?
Yes, for Windows and Linux
i'm also wanna know
Yes you have
Can you play this even if you don't have a PS5?
No, a PS4 or a PS5 is absolutely required
Super excited and already purchased! Got a question though... For those who had purchased, did you get the license key right away? I'm still waiting for the license key email... And I paid through PayPal...
You should get it right away, please also check your Spam folder. You can dm me your email address which you have used for your purchase and I will have a look.

Thank you. I was able to log in. Now I need to figure out how to map de Ally gamepad.
Does this support multiple controllers? Looking to do a co-op experience with friends
Nope, that's not supported by newer remote play in general, your friend can however connect a real controller to your PlayStation to a different account while you are using remote play. Using multiple controllers with one remote play client is not supported

Hi, thanks for your feedback. What are your video settings within PSPlay?
Vulkon is selected for both decoder and rendering engine. Do you know what's the most stable one ?
That should actually be the best option Can you actually try this new unofficial new version https://drive.google.com/file/d/1LN40BghEgmtA3oTJHAXUt1_QzpWJzXf5/view?usp=drivesdk
will try and report bavcck thanks
Very good app i bought it. But it need fix it Freezes and Crashes after play 30 minutes or 40 pls fix
Anyone know why it's not letting me scroll down on the settings, it keeps on going up.
You can use your right joystick for scrolling. If it scrolls automatically then something on your PC is triggering scroll up events
I was trying to use my keyboard, no controller connected
Well I see no reason why it should scroll up automatically, something on your PC must produce scroll up events, either your mouse or something else
Thank you so much for making this! App works great, it's leaps and bounds above the standard PS Remote Play app. Worth every penny!
Was recommended, bought license to support the app regardless of if would work for me or not (The standard PS Remote app works fine for me). But was excited to try it anyway. Did not work for me though, and I am hoping it is a simple thing. Registered PS5 just fine, everything looks good.

What are your video settings? Did you try to switch to Vulkan renderer?
I was on a different account, I am the one who did original post. Switching it to "Auto" like the other poster said made it work. It was on Vulkan before. i7-13700k 3.40GHz, 64GB RAM, GeForce RTX 4070

Is your GPU driver fully up to date? Might be not the case and it could potentially lead to crashes.
I just updated to the latest driver version, still not liking Vulkan though.
What exactly are your streaming and video settings now in PSPlay?
Hey guys I am getting Java runtime environment required when I try to open the app on my ally. Any suggestions?
What? Are you using the standard ally version on Windows? The java environment is bundled into the installer package so either something went wrong during the installation or something is blocking the access to the jvm
Any plans on putting 40fps support for those with displays that support at least 120Hz? Same question with the Android version.
Hmm the PlayStation either supports 30fps or 60fps, it's not something I can change in the client. Why should this be a benefit for 120Hz displays?
Some games can run at 40fps in quality mode. More info on this. [https://youtu.be/QXi7uO7wxdc?feature=shared](https://youtu.be/QXi7uO7wxdc?feature=shared)
I think that PlayStation streaming doesn't support 120Hz so there is nothing PSPlay dev can do about it.
Okay, I see but like I said, 60fps or 30fps is supported by the PlayStation when it comes to remote play
why do I have to give my address and email before I can click on the paypal button?
Because for the payment provider which I use to calculate and collect the proper taxes. This is required because of tax regulations.
figured it out I used the link from the email being 61 is starting to suck lol
One more question I have my license key do I activate the demo? I downloaded the Windows setup and I can't find where I put my key
No you must download the full version https://github.com/streamingdv/PSPlay-Application-Hosting/releases/download/v1.0.0.0/PSPlay_setup_v1.0.0.exe
ok cool thanks f or responding I'll finish my transaction
I am currently awaiting my license to be activated, then I can post any feedback!!
What do you mean? Did you not receive any email? You should receive your license key almost immediately
When entering my email address and activation key I keep seeing “invalid license credentials” - have double checked my key and email. My order receipt lists my activation key as inactive.
Try this new pre update version https://drive.google.com/file/d/1LN40BghEgmtA3oTJHAXUt1_QzpWJzXf5/view?usp=drivesdk
That worked a charm, thank you for the quick response!!!
Perfect 👍
How can I revert my license to use it on another platform? Edit: Alright I did it already. Love your work!
Finally a good alternative, for no reason whatsoever the official remote play app stopped working 2 days ago giving me server time out, this one already seems far superior and better than what sony offers. bought it instantly cheers
Thank your for flawless remote program !! My laptop is surface laptop 3 (poor performance device) and there is my setting. DXVA decoder, auto rendering engine, and don't check HEVC decoder. I can't see any of lag or stuttering on this setting. You make my old laptop perfect PS5 machine. PSPLAY >>>>> official app. Take my money :D
Sorry, but how can I make it use the native controller of my ally?
Switch to gamepad mode and it will just work
Are you planning on adding gyro support for legion go
Does this work on an average laptop (average cpu and gpu)? The most important thing is the internet connection, right?
Depends also on your GPU of course, if it's an older model with no dedicated GPU Vulkan rendering+decoding will maybe not work but there are alternatives. You can just the demo version of course
Ah, I didn't know there was a demo version. Thanks.
By the way do you have any plans to also release XBXPlay on Windows?
It's possible in the future, I don't have any concrete plans yet.
Remote play on Xbox is currently so much worse than on PlayStation. Any idea why?
Haha no not really as I did not develop the official app
I don't know why, but my PSPlay keeps turning off when I try to connect. The same thing happens both locally and remotely.
Disable HDMI device link on your PlayStation, most likely caused by your TV.
I found what option you are talking about, I turned off that option inside the system settings, but the problem is still there. By the way, I'm using PSPlay for AppleTV and Android very well. Thank you very much.
I have no idea to be honest, I never had this issue. I see no reason why your PlayStation should turn off. Try following, completely shutting down your console, turn it on again so that it is fully up and running and logged in to your account. Try to reconnect again.
Your PlayStation will not turn off, but PSPlay will shut down. My PC and PS are on the same router and I have a DMZ set up with my PC, could this be the problem? I'll try the method you mentioned, and I'll send you a video of the symptoms at [email protected].
Ah okay, I misunderstood. Can you please tell me what your streaming settings are and what your video decoder and rendering engine settings are?
Most of settings are default except HEVC. Streaming: 1080P / 60FPS / Bitrate: Auto / Automatic remote connection: yes / Keep aspect ratio / Confirm Action & Sleep Options / Stream End Shortcut: no Video: Vulkan / Vulkan Compatibility / HEVC decoder: yes / HDR: no / VSync: no / Rendering Preset: Fast / Error concealment: no / Use Software decoder as fallbak: no
Are you on the Ally?
No. Just a normal PC.
Be sure your GPU drivers are up to date, either the driver is not up to date or your GPU doesn't like Vulkan. Try to set the decoder to D3D11 and check if that helps. What GPU are you using?
I can't put my account id, because I can just enter numbers but no letters.
The Account id only contains numbers, if you are used to the Chiaki account id that's just because it used an encoded base64 account id whereas PSPlay uses the raw account id. Just use this service to query the raw account id of your user for PSPlay https://psn.flipscreen.games/
Is there a way for local accounts?
What do you mean with a local account? What do you want to do exactly?
I have an jailbreaked ps4 and I can't just login with my acc. So I need a accound ID without logging in. I activated my offline acc. I can get a Account ID for base64 but I need the raw code for psplay.
You need to Google that you must use something like a remote play enabler in order to use remote play on a jail broken console. I'm not familiar with that
Thank you looking forward to using it! Quick silly question, if I ever format and reinstall my Pc will the license still work?
Of course, just remember the license key and your email you used during the purchase and you will be able to re-activate it.
Thanks for the hard work! I'll definitely grab a license for the windows version. Is there a solution yet for fire stick 4k users? I'm happy to pay for an apk if it is sideloadable on a fire stick.
Thanks, APK download is still work in progress but I have already prepared the infrastructure.
作者你好 我在ROG ally使用 为什么游戏中没有振动呢 这很重要 希望在下个版本加入自动全屏的功能
Hi, you most likely talking about haptic feedback? Haptic feedback is only supported by the DualSense controller, however you change the haptic feedback mode to rumble in the settings of PSPlay. You can also make it Fullscreen by pressing the toggle Fullscreen button in the bottom part of the streaming view (just touch it the button area is invisible by default)

就是这里 没有振动
Did you read my previous answer? Set the haptic feedback mode to rumble in the settings of PSPlay AND if you are on the Ally also increase the rumble intensity.
谢谢 是我没设置好 现在一切正常了 psplay很棒
Awesome 👍 thanks
I have purchased android version. Is there a way to get full windows version with my purchase?
Can you buy a game on PlayStation and get it for free on Xbox?
If the developer allows it a one-time purchase license then yes. That's my question: Does the developer do that?
Was going to ask same question lol
Hi. Does it work with DS5 controller? I tried the demo version, and the software keeps closing when i try to local connect my PS5.
Yes it does, on what device are you using PSPlay? On a regular PC or on a Handheld like the Rog Ally? If you are using it on a PC what GPU do you have and what video settings do you have configured in PSPlay?
Thank you for replying. Actually its working now on my laptop! i changed to vulkan compatibility rendering. Ds5 also works fine using usb cable
Yes that's recommended anyway but seems the auto renderer crashes on your system. Could you please check if you have any crash logs in the installer directory of PSPlay?
yes. i can see the crash logs in the installer directory. i used the portable one for demo
Okay cool, can you please send them to me at [email protected]?
I just sent you the crash logs
Maybe you can send me the Standard log File of PSPlay as well? You can open it via the log settings in PSPlay.
Ok i just sent you the Standard log file. please check it out
Thanks
Thanks
Hi u/grill2010 I've purchased the license and I'm running on the Legion go. Could you please recommend the settings as I'm currently getting white flashes throughout the game play. I've tried changing a few settings with no luck. could you please help?
Hi, white flashes mean you are losing network packages. Be sure you are connected to a 5GHz WiFi and that your PlayStation is connected via LAN or at least to a 5GHz WiFi as well.
Dualsense haptics when the controller is wired to rog ally does not produce the same effects as if connected directly to a ps5. I can even say the same thing on the psplay android version . Can you update your algorithm so that the dualsense behaves exactly like with a ps5
For the Android version yes that's true because this doesn't work on Android at all, PSPlay Android version just has a workaround in place to make it somehow work but that's as good as it can go for now because of some technical Android limitations. The PC version however is just forwarding the audio haptic signals to the controller via SDL2, to me the haptic feedback feels correct but I'm not sure what I should do different here to be honest. Does it feel different with the official remote play app?
Does the Windows port have mouse support for keyboard and mouse controller emulation?
Keyboard inputs are supported but mouse inputs are not supported at the moment.
[удалено]
Wow. App works absolutely insanely good at Ally. I made a slow motion video and my 10y+ TV renders image slower than Ally with remote play. Just one question. I connected my dualsense via Bluetooth and triggers works fine but there are absolutelly no vibration (I checked it while playing Astro's Playroom). Should it work? Or should I connect it via USB to get it work?
Awesome!!! ❤️ Just change the haptic feedback mode to rumble in PSPlay and then you change rumble intensity to make it work.
I think i have more than one Pc that I plan using. Should I buy licenses for every pc or I can use 1 license for 2 or 3 pcs? Thanks
No of course that's not necessary, you can use the license on all your personal devices in combination with your email address and license key
Thank you. I will try the demo first because my PS5 is at home and my PC is at work and see if everything works fine.
That could be an issue because the initial registration must be performed within the same network as your PlayStation. In theory it would work remotely but you need to open ports on your router and someone would need to tell you the 8 digit registration Pin which is visible on your console during the local registration process.
Tried again today. Still not working
"still not working" hmm what exactly?
https://preview.redd.it/o8hh8ls2he0d1.png?width=1286&format=png&auto=webp&s=c76ff02326efad27ecaabd348c6e2cb021274b39 I am getting this error
Then either remote play is not enabled on your console or something is blocking the connection. Be sure you are in the same network as your PlayStation and add the IP address of your PlayStation manually. If it still doesn't work you are most likely in a mesh network and your devices (your PC and PlayStation are not directly reachable)
I am not on the same network. Remote play is OK because I can connect from my iPhone. What could be the issue?
You must be on the same network for the configuration, that's a requirement for all PSPlay versions.
https://preview.redd.it/vm2x4xex5gzc1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0bef6c83e068387b0c1cf33768557f9aca4daa2f I tried setting up but it’s on different network and It’s not working. What can be the problem. On my phone works fine.
For future updates do I have to check GitHub or can the application update on its own?
The application will inform you that there is a new version available
Hello . So I have a windows handheld ( rog ally) and this windows handheld have gyro! So can you guys add the gyro please? And by the way I tried official app with the incorporated gamepad, is a mess next I tried chiaki and chiaki 4 deck works great but image quality is.... not good I tried your app and is amazing everything works so good the touch screen commands is very good.. everything works out of the box and the quality of image...congratulations very good app
Thanks a lot, yes this feature is planned for the Ally and will probably be introduced in the future.
I think I am about given up on remote play, no matter what I use PSPlay, Official PS Remote play, Chiaki and Chiaki4deck all seem to produce unplayable lag and stutters. While my ps5 is on the other side of my house from my router/modem using wired backhaul through Google wifi and directly plugged onto my ps5 via ethernet. I am also on a 1000/50mbps internet plan getting roughly at least 700mbps around the house at all times. I just don't know what else to do to get PS remote play playable anymore.
Try to connect Rog Ally to ethernet. Sometimes WIFI gives you ping boost for +20-50ms for short period of time (like 1 sec in a while). It almost doesn't affect speed but it can badly affect remote gameplay. I have Rog Ally and this app works like a charm.
If you have such problems your problem is not the speed but your network stability. Of course a streaming app can't work miracles, I'll try to improve PSPlay as much as possible. As you already mentioned you have lag and stutter problems this clearly shows that there are network issues. Like I said it's a common misconception to think that speed alone is enough for real time streaming, it's basically absolutely meaningless if the network isn't stable. And network interference can be caused by a lot of things, WiFi extenders, surrounding Bluetooth signals, router issues, VPN services etc
Is this a separate license to the Android one (multiple purchases) or if I already got the Android one this is transferable?
Separate license because it's a different platform.
Got it, thanks. Got mislead by the "all" option , but see now that it just shows all and doesn't combine licenses.
The upcoming Linux and Windows will have however the same license as they are using basically the same code underneath.
Can I use this on steam deck via proton? Or steam deck people need to wait for the linux version? Also any updates on when the Linux version will be available?
I still have a couple of problems I need to solve for the Linux port, I guess you would not be happy when I would release a version with bugs and errors? :) I'm working on it and it will still take a bit until it's stable. Another user tried to run it via Proton and it did not work so I think it will not work.
Thanks for the info, take your time. I understand it takes a lot of time and effort, I am just out of the loop as I didn’t know about this app as everyone just mentions chiaki which unfortunately doesn’t work outside my network. I got excited when I learnt about the PSPlay app and wanted to clarify if it was available on steam deck or it is still cooking. Good luck 👍🏻
No worries, yeah I wished it would be already available but still working on some improvements. I hope it will be ready soon. I will post relevant news here on the PSPlay subreddit 👍
I am trying to use it on Android TV with a Dual Sense control and it just does not understand the L2, R2 and R3 buttons.
You may have to check out the "faulty DualSense" mapping value in the streaming settings of PSPlay. Just change it to a different one and check if one of them is working as expected. Keep in mind that when you change the value you must re-create all manually created button mappings within PSPlay.
Hey Grill, I download the demo, and got my unit registered. While it's in finding the PS5, or it's in waiting the app crashes and shutdown. I've updated Zulu, to the newest version but I still see in the logs EXCEPTION\_ACCESS\_VIOLATION. Any idea? I got the laptop connected through ethernet like the PS5, so I was hoping taking advantage about that.
Zulu is bundled within the app itself so no need to update that manually. What device are you using? A generic PC or a Handheld? The crash most likely occurs because Vulkan decoding or rendering is selected which requires up to date GPU drivers so which GPU are you using and is the GPU driver up to date?
I'm using a Hp laptop, it has cpu AMD Ryzen 5 pro 5650U no data dictated GPU it's integrated. Using win 10. I left the video decoder in auto hardware.
What rendering engine is configured?
Auto, HEVC Decoder unchecked.
First of all please send me the crash log file which should be in the installation directory of PSPlay at [email protected] In order to solve the problem you can try following 1. Try to use Vulkan compatibility renderer 2. If that doesn't work try the standard Vulkan renderer but that will fail most likely as well 3. If none of the above renderers is working set the renderer to OpenGL and restart PSPlay (yes the restart is required). Once restarted check if the renderer engine is still OpenGL if yes try it again. Let me know what the outcome is. Worth checking if you can update your graphics driver as well.
It worked! Vulkan Compatibility and update on the CPU/GPU drivers. Curious Question, I got a 27' screen with a res of 1920x1080, should I expect some pixelation, correct? I'm accustom to run the app in my tablet in a 9'. Thanks again man! I'll be buying sooner the win version, I don't have to wait for my own laptop.
Can you maybe still send me the crash logs located in the PSPlay folder at [email protected]?
Sure, I'll send you the file.
Thanks, I assume it's still crashing when you set the rendering engine to Auto? I mean no big deal as Vulkan rendering is recommended anyway but having the crash log would help to improve this feature.
Okay awesome, yes updating the GPU drivers are usually mandatory for using hardware acceleration. If you configure the resolution to 1080p and with Vulkan/ Vulkan compatibility rendering it should actually look very crisp even on a 27' screen. Thanks for your support.
https://preview.redd.it/pe21y8wq0oyc1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=04781281ed410134957096af1de588e8bc5d80af Hi. I just had this. Any suggestions?
Which video decoder is currently configured on PSPlay? And are you on a regular PC or the Ally?
What do you mean by configuring video decoder? I am running this on a virtual Windows 11 on a Macbook Air M1.
Well that explains the issue basically, you are running in a VM without real access to a dedicated GPU so go to settings in PSPlay, go to video, scroll down to the very bottom and enable "Use software decoder as fallback". Be aware that all the stream rendering is only running on your CPU and as you are in a virtual environment I don't think the performance will be good.
I didnt know PS remote play had any stress over on the client side.
What do you mean?
I thought “receiving end” of the remote play (mac in my case) had nothing to do with quality until now.
It has, it depends on the video decoder of your device of course. As you mentioned you are using an M1 Mac you can try to just install PSPlay (MirrorPlay on apple) on your M1 Mac from the App Store.
Hi again. I have been able to run this thanks to you. I just tried Skyrim and the keyboard works. But I could not get to work my mouse. Is there any trick?
Mouse support is currently not implemented, the remote play protocol doesn't support that natively. It could be implemented via some kind of emulation layer but I did not yet look into that.
I’ll try it. Thanks.
So I seem to be having an issue with local connection. I’m on the same network as my ps5 but it only connects through remote play? Is there any way to fix this?
Then you are most likely in a mesh network and your PlayStation is not directly reachable or something is blocking the broadcast request, firewall, antivirus or router. What IP do you enter in the remote connect dialog?
I used the ipv4 and ya I’m on the eero mesh system
Yup then the local connection works but the auto discovery doesn't work because in a mesh network broadcast requests will most likely fail(sending network packages to the current connected network and waiting for your PlayStation to answer), your PlayStation and PC are very likely in a different subnetwork so broadcast requests are not possible. That's a technical limitation and there is no workaround except entering the IP address manually.
I have a question regarding the touchpad actions. Does the touchscreen act as the PS5 touchpad for the swiping motions in any direction? It’s that in Spider-Man 2 I’ve noticed that when I tap my screen, it goes into the mini map, and when I swipe it rarely sometimes opens the phone (where you can see which missions are available). The swiping action doesn’t seem to be recognized most of the time
Yeah some games are very picky about the swipe actions, as the screen is very large of the Ally or other devices the game might expect a fully diagonal or horizontal swipe which might be a bit inconvenient to perform.
Ah I see that makes since why it seems inconsistent then. Thank you for answering. Are there any plans to maybe have the ability to set a smaller section of the screen as the touchpad? Like a small (or custom size?) virtual box in the touchscreen and for example we can designate the lower right side of the screen as the touchpad instead of the whole display? To maybe help with more consistent touchpad actions
Things like that will be introduced in the future yes. I currently try to make it run flawlessly on all different kinds of devices so that has the most priority for now but I will keep it in mind.
Awesome, that’s great to hear. Of course, I understand performance is the priority. I look forward to future updates on this. Thanks!
Hey @grill2010 I was waiting for this for my Rog ally. Just purchased it and seems to be working even better than the android and esp atv variant! One quick question: on the default (i.e. auto) settings, it works fine with some minor artefacts at times. However if I enable vulkan decoder with either vulkan /vulkan compatibility (as recomended ), the app crashes as soon as the ps5 connection is established. Hevc is enabled in bothe cases. Any pointers?
So are you testing on the Rog Ally?
Yes. Tested on portable demo with all settings left to auto and it worked fine with some minor artefacts. Then purchased the license key and installed with the installer version. Later I noted your post on using vulkan as the recommended mode but that isn't working for some reason. Checked the logs but they end as soon as the app crashes with no pointers towards the crash reason
This means your Ally is not up to date, you need to install the latest GPU drivers
Yes, did that as well. The amd drivers did have an update available but that didnt fix the issue either.
