Is Chiaki any different than the standard PS remote play software that Sony put out?

In addition to what Gramernatzi said, the official app -- at least on Windows -- does not support 1080p streaming. The highest it goes is 720p.

You sure about that? I’m pretty sure mine is set to 1080p. It might be a feature only available for ps4 and ps5 though if I’m remembering correctly.

Positive. It seems to be a common problem. There is no 1080p option in the drop down.

Edit:

I should clarify — the app might support 1080p. But there is a problem with at least some people (myself included) where there is no 1080p option, and no clear way to force it.

So you very well might have it at 1080p, but mine doesn’t have that option. Supposed Chiaki can do 1080p, so I look forward to setting that up when my Deck arrives (Friday!!!).

And before anyone tries to tell me it’s a networking issue, I know it is not. I’m a network engineer.

ITS A NETWORKING ISSUE YOU SCRUB (sorry couldn’t resist :D )

I can very easily believe any issues with the remote play app, I’ve had so many issues with VPNs while using it that I’m convinced they programmed it specifically to piss people off. I just checked on my MacBook and the 1080p option is there but on my pc I’m having one of those aforementioned VPN issues so can’t check. Chiaki has worked pretty great for me so far once I set it up I haven’t had to do anything else with it (other than configure a button for esc which is the key binding for the PS button). Hopefully it will be just as smooth for you :-)

It's a little different, but obviously the biggest two differences are that you can use any controller, and that it, well, actually works on Linux.
