Summary
- A lightweight DNS+RTMP proxy that lets a PS5 stream to any RTMPS endpoint by presenting a fake Twitch hostname with valid TLS, then forwarding the stream securely.
- Eliminates the need for manual dnsmasq setup and enables private streaming to personal servers, Discord bots, or other platforms.

Notes
- Commenters praised the DNS trick: âHonestly the DNS trick in this post is neat but I'm not setting up dnsmasq just to share my screenâ â Transformanshen.
- Direct demand for Discord streaming: âexcited to try this! iâve had this exact same want from streaming to discord on ps5â â drudolph914.
- Simple proxy would save users the hassle of manual DNS spoofing while keeping the stream encrypted endâtoâend.
Summary
- A selfâhosted bot that accepts an RTMP stream and pushes it to Discordâs Go Live feature via the Discord API, letting PS5 users broadcast directly to a Discord voice channel.
- Turns any RTMP source (including the PS5 Stream Proxy) into a Discordâfriendly stream without extra capture hardware.

- Provides a native Discord experience, sidestepping the PS5âs lockedâdown Twitch/YouTube only options.
Summary
- An openâsource app that captures PS5 HDMI output via a lowâcost USB capture dongle, encrypts the stream using SRT/TLS, and pushes it to any RTMPS or SRT listener.
- Gives users full control over privacy, latency, and destination while leveraging affordable hardware.

Notes
- Privacy concerns were highlighted: âKinda sad that it's 2026 and this data still goes over the internet unencryptedâŚâ â londons_explore.
- Users noted the lack of TLS enforcement: âIf sony wanted the ps5 to only send to twitch, they could absolutely enforce TLS authentication of the server, but they don'tâ â bigfishrunning.
- Provides an endâtoâend encrypted pipeline, addressing both the desire for custom destinations and the need for secure streams.
