        Awesome guys! Really appreciate your work !

        I own PS4 Pro, followed your guide and build Chiaki based on https://github.com/zerojay/chiaki fork. Streaming works fine on Pi4 2GB (30FPS; 720p) but without sound.

        When i follow Qt5.12 workaround:

        set(Qt5Core_DIR "/usr/lib/qt5.12/lib/cmake/Qt53DCore")
        set(Qt5_DIR "/usr/lib/qt5.12/lib/cmake/Qt5")
        set(QT_QMAKE_EXECUTABLE "/usr/lib/qt5.12/bin/qmake")

        adding to CMakeLists.txt and create new build i got error when trying run Chiaki :

        "* failed to add service - already in use?"

        any idea whats wrong? I put new set line on the begining of CMakeList.txt file.

        I get the same issue on RetroPie building these. Always get:

         failed to add service - already in use?
        

        Created a quick build script, but can't get to launch currently.

        # install dependencies
        sudo apt install cmake python3-protobuf protobuf-compiler libopus-dev libsdl2-dev libssl-dev -y
        
        # pull Qt5.12 and install
        cd /tmp
        wget https://github.com/koendv/qt5-opengl-raspberrypi/releases/download/v5.12.5-1/qt5-opengl-dev_5.12.5_armhf.deb
        sudo apt install ./qt5-opengl-dev_5.12.5_armhf.deb -y
        
        # clone rpi branch of chiaki
        cd /home/pi
        git clone --single-branch --branch rpi01 https://github.com/Fredrum/chiaki.git chiaki
        cd chiaki
        # can be a bit slow
        git submodule update --init
        
        # qt5.12 audio fix - tested with and without these paths and results in the same
        # echo "set(Qt5Core_DIR "/usr/lib/qt5.12/lib/cmake/Qt53DCore")" >> /home/pi/chiaki/gui/CMakeLists.txt
        # echo "set(Qt5_DIR "/usr/lib/qt5.12/lib/cmake/Qt5")" >> /home/pi/chiaki/gui/CMakeLists.txt
        # echo "set(QT_QMAKE_EXECUTABLE "/usr/lib/qt5.12/bin/qmake")" >> /home/pi/chiaki/gui/CMakeLists.txt
        
        # build
        mkdir build
        cd build
        cmake -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/usr/lib/qt5.12 ..
        make
        
        # add custom ports launcher
        cat <<EOF > /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/RemotePS4.sh
        #!/bin/bash
        /home/pi/chiaki/build/gui/chiaki
        EOF
        chmod +x /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/RemotePS4.sh

          @zerojay I fixed this in the end and used the original source. I've created a bash script to compile it and add it to RetroPie as a port

          Compile chiaki for RetroPie

            @domb84 finally resolved the audio issues for this as well. You need to revert to the legacy audio options in RetroPie, ie pulseaudio.

            Final script here works.

              Just a note that I'm not having any trouble with the audio after upgrading my system to the new PulseAudio default.
              So for me it was working with both Alsa previously and now PulseAudio.

                @redmarsbluemoon I've put all the info in the script and I did file a bug with logs but I just ended up configuring pulseaudio. Not sure what the issue with alsa is.

                https://github.com/thestr4ng3r/chiaki/issues/397

                Do you have any information on hot keys etc? There's no docs that I can find and since I've made a custom port I can launch it but can't quit unless i just 'killall chaiki' via ssh.

                Also, I'm not sure if there are supposed to be any menus within chiaki, but nothing renders, I just get black boxes if I right click. You can't connect to a session using a controller either (works great in the session). So I have to have at least a mouse attached to the Pi which I don't normally.

                  With the Audio it looks like you just went with regular apt installed Qt5? Iv'e had to install and build against that Qt5.12 version to get the audio working well. (I got no choices in the Audio select menu that I added otherwise)
                  Although someone said it was working with default Qt on their Pi Zero. I haven't though so far but maybe I've just not got all the right Qt packages. There's so many different ones.

                  In session there shouldn't be any menus as far as I know.
                  On Desktop you can use DS4 touchpad as mouse but maybe that's different in your RetroPie setup.

                  Seems cool what you've done though! I'll have to try that out some time soon. Ive never heard about the eglfs stuff you're doing.

                  Re quitting, on desktop you have to quit both the session launcher (main) Gui and the session for it to fully quit. If you quit just one the other will still stay up.

                  We could try to add something to quit maybe but it would have to be something that have no risk of being triggered for other users on other setups. Unless you want to just fork and add it yourself.
                  What's that RetroPie hotkey acting as?

                    @redmarsbluemoon retropie hot key does nothing. Should it? And you mention quitting the session and the application. How? There’s no visible menus, hot keys etc. I’m pretty sure something isn’t rendering but apart from windows screen grabs I have no reference.

                    Short of quitting the application it runs perfectly. I’m guessing the platform option I’m running is causing menu rendering issues.

                      If you look at the video I linked a few posts up you can see how it runs on Desktop for your reference.

                      If you post a video of how it looks when you run maybe there's something I can say? It's hard to know otherwise. I don't really have time to do a experimental RetroPie setup just now.

                      With the Hotkey I mean what does that signal as to RetroPie normally? maybe we can hook that up to chiaki as quit but I'm not sure.

                        @redmarsbluemoon I’ll try and grab a video later, but sure id love to help get this up and running properly within RetroPie. My build script works fine now, it’s purely setting up a button to quit and controller navigation in the interface.

                          I suggest you make a 'Feature Request' on the head master issues page,

                          That way it will get general visibility for the full project and there can be discussions about ways to solve things.

                          https://github.com/thestr4ng3r/chiaki/issues

                          A simple phone video showing your issues, or screen grabs with annotations would be helpful to communicate what you are looking for.

                            Chiaki recently went to v2.0 and with that added PS5 support! :D
                            Also the 1080p streaming should now be working!

                            Credits to the main developer!

                            I have updated my repo, https://github.com/Fredrum/chiaki/wiki/Chiaki-for-the-Raspberry-Pi

                            currently in line with the Master which moved to,
                            https://git.sr.ht/~thestr4ng3r/chiaki

                            I'll continue trying to add some options to make it more useable with retropie.
                            Or someone else might do a better job using the chiaki libs.

                            Cheers!

                              It works like a charm! Sound, 60FPS 1080p, game pads.
                              Thanks for your rpi repo!

                                  Good morning guys! I am experiencing the same issue as described by CaelThunderwing. Is there something simple I am missing to get gui/chiaki to run successfully? @CaelThunderwing were you able to find a solution? Thank all you guys in advance! This is gonna make my Pi4 8GB RetroPie setup kick @$$!! I am so excited to stream my PS4/5 through it!

                                    Same happening to me, no luck on executing chiaki from RetroPie nor the terminal.
                                    Always getting:

                                    Could not find DRM device!
                                    Aborted
                                    

                                    Can you please help us?
                                    It would be a big step forward to our RetroPie machines :)

                                    Thanks in advance!

                                        Update to say that I've added in very basic functionality to start Chiaki from non Desktop, non X11 environment in the latest version,

                                        https://github.com/Fredrum/chiaki/wiki/Run-Chiaki-without-Desktop-(From-cli)

                                        Also note that Iv'e identified a problem using xbox controllers with Retropies custom 'xpad' driver for more info see here,
                                        https://github.com/Fredrum/chiaki/wiki/Controllers#controller-problems-with-retropie

                                        I think there's still some issues using the PS5 controller? The Dualsense?
                                        From @Mellao 's report it sounds like that should be fixed with the upcoming Bullseye fingers crossed.

                                        And for anyone who's not aware Chiaki works with PS5 as well since a while back!

                                          After removing the driver, you should mention that the input configuration in EmulationStation should be re-run, otherwise this will break the configuration for other emulators and ES.
