- 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.
- .Apple TV 4K and Apple TV HD ships with the same remote everywhere. In countries and regions that support Siri, the remote is called Siri Remote. Elsewhere, it’s called Apple TV Remote. Siri works on either remote as long as your Apple TV 4K or Apple TV HD is set up with a language and country or region that supports Siri.
I have a big library of movies and tv shows with 5 or 6 family and friends that remote view. I have always downloaded my content as mkv, ac3 or e-ac3 5.1 Audio for my home theater system. That format works great for me but ALWAYS transcodes to my remote viewers. Searches online always bring back “its hard to direct play remote because it depends on everyone’s else’s hardware etc”
Well I Direct Play makes everyone’s life much easier as far as your equipment, connection etc so I finally figured it out. Takes a little more time on front end but worth it
Enable remote play. By default, the Steam application isn’t set up to support remote play, so you’ll need to make some changes to your Steam preferences: Launch the Steam app on your PC or laptop. In the Steam toolbar select “Steam - Preferences.”. Sony Interactive Entertainment has expanded the remote play functionality on PlayStation 4 to support PlayStation 5 as part of a new firmware update earlier today. However, despite the next-generation console being able to run games at 4K resolution, PS5 remote play apparently only allows for 1080p output.
Download movies as usual. Open that movie file in handbrake. Keep or change the container to mp4 bc mp4 is the universal container that will play on all devices. That’s the video part. If it’s mkv, it will not “direct play”
Now for audio, keep it change the FIRST audio on line 1 to aac. Always make the first one aac because that is the universal audio that is most widely accepted for devices. Now click “add” and add ac3 or e-ac3 , and change stereo to 5.1. This allows you to let your remote viewers watch your video as mp4 w/ aac 2.0 Audio and allows you to pick ac3 or e-ac3 5.1 Dolby at home if you have a surround sound. Mp4 containers can hold more the one audio source.
Last, importantly if your file is 1080p, make sure you allow your remote viewers to view your content in 1080p and make sure they go in their settings on the plex app they are using and select 1080p. This is bc is you download 1080p movies but you only allow them to view 720p content, it’s going to transcode down to 720p.
Steam Remote Play 4k Hdr
I’ve tested alll this. Works! Any questions?
Sony has updated the PS5 Remote Play app, preparing it for the PS5’s launch and it has revealed that you will be able to remote play from your PS5, with HDR on, providing you have a compatible screen.
An eagle-eyed user on Reddit spotted the option when browsing through the updated application. In order to play PS5 games through Remote Play with HDR, your display will need to be HDR enabled, have the HVEC Video Extension installed from Microsoft, and turn on “Play HDR games and apps” in your Windows Settings. But, if that criteria is met you should be good to go when the PS5 launches.
This HDR support is great news for those who make a lot of use out of Remote Play and ensures they can get the best possible experience whilst streaming. Remote Play was officially confirmed and set up today with PS4 firmware update 8.00 being released.
