Hi, I've been using Chiaki to stream from my PS5 to Steam Deck, and separately using Steam Remote Play to stream Windows games to Steam Deck. Both worked fine independently.

The problem:
After launching Chiaki on Steam Deck and streaming from PS5, Steam Remote Play from Windows PC stops working properly. The stream starts but then freezes — the screen on Steam Deck locks up with a red disconnect indicator. This happens with any game, even lightweight 2D JRPGs like Trails in the Sky.

Steps to reproduce:

Stream Windows games to Steam Deck via Steam Remote Play — works fine
Launch Chiaki on Steam Deck, stream from PS5 — works fine
Close Chiaki, try Steam Remote Play again
Steam Remote Play now drops packets repeatedly and disconnects every few minutes

Temporary fix:
Reinstalling Steam on Windows PC fixes the issue — but only until Chiaki is launched again on Steam Deck.

Specs:
Steam deck oled
Lenovo Laptop with this specs:
GPU: NVIDIA RTX 4080 Laptop
CPU: I9 14900hx
Steam streaming log shows dynamicbitrate: data loss repeatedly

Additional note:
I previously used both Chiaki and Steam Remote Play on CachyOS (Linux) without any issues — they worked fine together simultaneously. The problem only occurs on Windows
