Describe the bug I am not able to connect directly to my playstation from cli as I am not aware what the "morning" parameter is for.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Execute from cli:

   ./Chiaki-v1.3.0-Linux-x86_64.AppImage --registkey ABCDEFGH --morning Q1VTQTEzMTUyCg== stream 192.168.178.24

2. Receive "Given morning has invalid size (expected 16, got 10)"

Where in this scenario morning is the base64 encode ID-Code of a game from my ps4 (this is just a guess, because as explained - I have no clue what to put here for real).

Expected behavior Start chiaki and connect to a previously registered device with the ID passed with registkey running on the IP passed as last param.

Additional context I tried multiple things to pass for this param, like the encoded ps4 hostname, etc.

registkey and morning are the private keys you get from registration. The CLI is currently unaware of the consoles you have registered and saved so you have to pass this manually. You can determine your values like this:

> grep 'rp_.*key=' ~/.config/Chiaki/Chiaki.conf
1\rp_key=@ByteArray(\x13\x37...)
1\rp_regist_key=@ByteArray(abcdefgh\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0)

Where rp_key is morning (take the stuff in @ByteArray() and turn it into base64) and rp_regist_key is registkey (just take abcdefgh here).

Thanks for the explanation. However I am still having trouble. If I take everything between the brackets in the first line and convert it like this:

echo '\xae\xb1[)\xb1...' | base64

and pass it to chiaki I still end up with: Given morning has invalid size (expected 16, got 17) Please note that I explicitly used single quotes to escape all the special characters in the string. Also note that there is a closing bracket within the string itself. I also tried to convert the bytecode to string with xxd and echoed the string with manual escaping of the special characters. But unfortunatelly no success....

Try printf instead of echo.

Thanks man - could have thought of this myself. Has been 10 years since my last touch with the C-Language...

It works now. So here is a snippet that might be useful for other users:

printf $(grep 'rp_key=' ~/.config/Chiaki/Chiaki.conf | sed -e 's/^.*ByteArray(//' -e 's/..$//') | base64

Maybe you could add the information to the readme or even better to the --help page. It would clear things up I guess :)

Nice, feel free to send a PR if you want to enhance it.
