Hijacking the PS5's RTMP Stream

Sony has progressively locked down what you can do with the PS5’s hardware. Streaming is a good example: the console gives you a nice, convenient “Broadcast” button, but the moment you want to do anything outside the handful of services Sony supports, it gets annoying very fast.

Third-party Bluetooth devices are the same story! Sony locks the wireless stack to their own peripherals, so your headphones or controllers from other brands simply won’t pair :/

I often stream games with friends on Discord who watch me play, but the PS5 doesn’t support screen sharing to Discord. The obvious fix is a capture card — plug the HDMI output into a capture card , feed it into OBS on your Mac, stream from there. But decent ones aren’t cheap, and I didn’t want to spend upwards of $100 just for this.
