(Support) Interaction with enabling/disabling TV input (TV wakes up despite not being enabled) #35

Closed ividyon closed 1 year ago

ividyon commented 2 years ago

Following use case:

When I'm in my "Desktop" profile and wake the PC from screensaver/screen off, LGTV Companion seems to send a wakeup signal to the TV.

This then leads to my monitors freaking out for a while, trying to manage display modes. I assume this has to do with HiDPI settings and HDR. It takes like 20 seconds for my monitors to stop turning on/off.

Then, the TV is on, but not showing anything (as the Windows display is disabled). I didn't want it to be on, since I turned it off in Windows display settings!

In this image, the TV is input 3, and this depicts my "Desktop" profile.

Questions:

Essentially, I'd like to use the LGTV Companion features when I'm in the "TV" profile, but not when I'm in the "Desktop" profile.

I see how you mean, I'll add it as a feature request and see what can be done about it.

In the meanwhile you can try experimenting with the command line parameters of LGTV Companion. If you can use the monitor profile switcher to launch the app with command line parameters you can directly control power on/off state and disable/enable automatic management. See the reference here
