Chiaki-ng on Android TV – Stream PS5 to Your Second TV
Straight talk: chiaki-ng has no official Android TV build — it has no official Android build at all. But you can still stream your PS5 to a second TV: install the original Chiaki Android app from Google Play on your Android TV / Chromecast / Fire TV stick, register your console once, and pair a controller over Bluetooth.
Setup in 4 Steps
1. Install the Chiaki Android app on your TV device
On Android TV / Google TV, open the Play Store and install Chiaki (package com.metallic.chiaki). On Fire TV sticks, sideload the APK from a trusted source — the app is open source, so prefer the project’s own releases.
2. Register your console (do this on your home network first)
Same process as anywhere: enable Remote Play on the PS5/PS4, get your PSN Account ID, enter the 8-digit PIN. Follow our setup guide — the steps are identical, only the app is different.
3. Pair a controller via Bluetooth
Put your DualSense/DualShock in pairing mode and pair it in the Android TV Bluetooth settings. The Chiaki app maps PlayStation buttons natively, so no remapping is needed for basic play.
4. Mind the network
Wire your PS5 to the router with Ethernet — this matters more than anything on the TV side. If the TV device is on Wi-Fi, use 5GHz. TV sticks with weak Wi-Fi antennas are the #1 cause of stutter here.
When This Setup Shines
The classic scenario: someone else is using the main TV and you want to keep playing in the bedroom. A $30–50 TV stick plus a controller you already own turns any spare TV into a PS5 screen — no moving the console, no long HDMI cable.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is there an official chiaki-ng app for Android TV?
No. chiaki-ng has never published any Android build. For Android TV, use the original Chiaki Android app from Google Play — it’s the official, open-source option for this platform.
Can I sideload a chiaki-ng APK on my TV instead?
Community forks (e.g. chiaki-ng-android-extended) publish APKs you could sideload, but they are phone-oriented builds, not TV-optimized, and sideloading on TV devices is fiddly. The original Chiaki app is the smoother path — marked as “subject to verification” if you go the sideload route.
Can I use my DualSense controller with Android TV?
Yes. Put the DualSense in pairing mode (hold PS + Create until the light bar blinks) and pair it in the TV’s Bluetooth settings. It works as a standard gamepad.
Will it work well over Wi-Fi?
It can, but wire the PS5 to the router — that single change fixes most stutter. Keep the TV stick on 5GHz Wi-Fi and close to the router if you can’t wire it.
