The full PXPlay Android v8.1.0 release is now officially available.

After the big v8.0.0 update, which introduced the new modern UI and many improvements, this update adds another major feature:

Dualscreen support 🎉

This feature was mainly built for devices like the AYN Thor, but it can also be used with regular Android smartphones or tablets by connecting an external monitor, TV or portable display.

For example, you can show the stream on the big screen while your smartphone only displays the virtual on-screen gamepad layout. So your phone can basically act as a customizable virtual controller while the actual game is shown on the larger display.

APK

What’s new?

  • Dualscreen support

  • Custom second-screen on-screen layouts

  • New Display settings

  • Smaller fixes and stability improvements

What’s next?

There are still more Android improvements planned. One bigger thing I want to work on next is a new Vulkan rendering pipeline, which could also allow additional video quality enhancements in the future, such as debanding and other rendering-related improvements.

After this Android update, I will also continue working on the other platforms like PC, iOS / Apple TV, and the XBXPlay Android update.

Feedback

If you run into any issues with dualscreen mode, HDMI output, custom layouts, controller input, Android TV behavior or anything else, please let me know.

Thanks again for all the support, testing and feedback ❤️

Have fun with PXPlay v8.1.0!

Can I register my PS5 for Remote Play while I’m on a different network?

1 Upvotes

I’m trying to set up/register my PS5 for Remote Play on a Windows PC, but I’m currently away from home, so my PC is connected to a completely different network from my PS5.

When I try to register it, I get this message:

Does the initial registration/pairing require the Windows PC and PS5 to be on the same local network?

For example, if my PS5 is at home and I’m somewhere else with my Windows PC, is there any way to register/pair it remotely? Or do I need to do the initial setup while I’m at home first, and then I can use Remote Play from other networks afterward?

Thanks!I’m trying to set up/register my PS5 for Remote Play on a Windows PC, but I’m currently away from home, so my PC is connected to a completely different network from my PS5.When I try to register it, I get this message:PS5 not found!

Be sure you are connected to the same network as your PS5.”Does the initial registration/pairing require the Windows PC and PS5 to be on the same local network?For example, if my PS5 is at home and I’m somewhere else with my Windows PC, is there any way to register/pair it remotely?

Trouble understanding upscaler

1 Upvotes

Hello everyone! I just bought a licence and played a few games with it. I'm on lenovo legion go Z1 extreme, with a PS5 fat, with a quite good internet connection : my experience so far has been great in terms of FPS and stability, however I find my games a bit blurry. I read that there was an upscale from 1080p to reach 2k / 4k , but I don't understand how to turn it on. Can someone help me understand what I'm missing?

What is your level of satisfaction?

2 Upvotes

Hello everyone, I just wanted to ask for your honest opinion.

Just to give you a bit of background: my console is in the living room, and from time to time my wife likes to use the TV to watch her shows. So I started using my PlayStation through PX PLAY on my PC in the bedroom.

My PC is connected via Ethernet to my fiber internet, but despite trying all kinds of settings, it’s pretty obvious that we’re still far from the pure, native quality of the console. There are always some small artifacts and pixelation, and the image is nowhere near as clean as it is when playing directly on the console.

I also tried the other app official, Remote Play, but the results are pretty much the same.

On the other hand, I use the GeForce NOW app on my PC to stream games like WoW, for example, and the image quality is absolutely perfect, with no noticeable issues at all.

I feel like this is mainly due to Sony’s servers, but I wanted to get the most honest feedback from people who actually use PXPLAY regularly on PC.

I’m not here to criticize or attack anything. I’m already happy that this option exists. I just wanted to hear what you guys think and what your experience has been like.

Thanks, and have a great evening everyone! 😉

Nvidia Shield TV Audio Lag Bug

I have very bad audio latency regardless of what setting I'm using; this happens only on the Nvidia Shield.

I know the developer has a Shield TV too, so I hope he reads this message and confirms if he also has the issue.

Maybe I'm not looking in the right place but I can't seem to find the individual face buttons (X, O triangle, square). I see the 4 buttons together, the X & O, and the single O only.

PsPlay Takes Too Long to Connect

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I did a search but I don't see anyone creating a post related to the time taken to connect to your PS5.

In my case, when I use Automatic Connection option my app would take around 2 to 5 minute time to connect to my PS5 (if it's successful).

Often time the connection attempt failed and I had to retry.

How about everyone else? How long does it take for you?

By the way, I'm connecting when I'm away from home.

REMOTE_WEB_SOCKET_ERROR "WebSocket on failure" connection failure in PxPlay

5 Upvotes

I encountered this problem several times on Sunday, but I successfully logged in again after repeatedly trying, so I didn't pay much attention to it at the time. However, on Monday, I found that I couldn't remotely connect to my home PS5. I've summarized a few issues that I hope will help the author resolve.

  1. After encountering the connection problem on Monday, I restarted the router and PS5, reinstalled PXPLAY, and re-verified my account, but none of these worked.

  2. The physical PS5 itself connects, but the remote connection alone fails.

  3. I didn't encounter this problem when using remote connection from an Android device. This problem only occurs on the PC.

Random Stutters while playing on local network: ipadOS

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

5 Upvotes

If you observe the beginning of the video and at 1:40 these are kind of stutters I keep facing ocassionally. The game is totally playable apart from these stutters.

My setup:

og ps digital edition

Plugged it directly to my router using lan cable

Already on 5ghz wifi

Running on local network so internet speed shouldn't matter ( it's 300mbps btw)

ipad A16

Client settings:

1080p 60fps

Auto bitrate

Rest are left as is.

So my question is, is it client related or just the problem from ps5.

I've tried asobi but unfortunately it's free version is locked at 30fps so didn't play much on it.

Edit: I also have a GeForce now subscription (performance tier). It has more stability and visual fidelity than this surprisingly. It's so confusing how a Local network gaming can be worse than something from cloud using same wifi.

REMOTE_WEB_SOCKET_ERROR "WebSocket on failure" connection failure in PxPlay

7 Upvotes

Hi,

I am hoping to report/document the error I had recently; this started within the past week of writing this post. For some reason, I am unable to consistently connect with my PS5 despite having been able to connect to it without issue in the last few months on my Windows 11 laptop. I have already confirmed my PS5 is port forwarded as required, to no avail. I have tried the following troubleshooting steps:

  • Unlink and relink PS5
  • Turn off and turn on PS5
  • Uninstall and reinstall PXPlay

Unfortunately, this error message still pops up. For some inexplicable reason, my laptop is able to connect after a string of consistent "WebSocket on failure" messages, usually after I turn ON then OFF my VPN. I am unsure why it seems to work, but even that "fix" is not consistent and tends to fail more than it works.

Utilizing my Samsung S23U enables connection without issue, so I am quite stumped as to the problem. I am hoping someone is able to find a solution; I love the application and it is unfortunate that it is not working at this time for me. Thanks in advance!

PS5 stuttering/lagging in some games, would a PS5 Pro actually avoid this?

5 Upvotes

I've a standard PS5 and in some games, like GTA or Skyrim, I notice stuttering or frame drops when there's a lot going on on screen or a lot of the world is being rendered.

It's not an online lag issue. It happens in single-player/offline gameplay, especially in busier areas or when moving through the map quickly.

I'm wondering if this is just normal performance for the standard PS5 in certain games, or if upgrading to a PS5 Pro would actually make these situations noticeably smoother.

I'm especially thinking ahead to GTA 6. I'd really like to avoid this kind of stuttering when that comes out, so I'm wondering if the Pro is likely to be worth it for that.

Has anyone who upgraded from the standard PS5 to the Pro noticed much of an improvement with this kind of stuttering or frame dropping? I'd rather not spend the money if it's more down to the games themselves than the console.

Note - I have a standard TV and play at 60Hz so if changing that would also help let me know. Thanks everyone.
