Never mirrors OR extends the iMac Display #15

Closed luni-moon closed 2 years ago

luni-moon commented 2 years ago

So I am running macOS 10.15.7, AND bought an HDMI dongle AND an HDMI to USB A cable, to extend, preferably my iMac display to my old touchscreen Windows Vista (now it runs Windows 7 Home Premium) running Dell PC from 2008-ish, and once I finally got the command to somewhat work (I had to even first go digging in my system files for about 3 hours to find the command prompt... It would be really nice if there was a macOS app or status bar icon or both), it never displayed on my Windows Dell. I have enabled screen recording in macOS, like other issues outcomes were said to be, but still to no avail. I think the problem is that it won't open or download DisplayX, and related software, as it says it cannot open DisplayX. It would be really nice if the driver actually worked, and did what it was said to be, which is extending the display. But nope, for some reason, that feature got removed, and now I cannot use this the way I intended. I have even tried different versions of this programme. I have a feeling this is a duplicate of another repository, that does not give any credit to the original authors, only because the software does not work, and from reading other issues, it does not do what it is said to do, even when it works. I am very disappointed with this software. Anyways, here is my terminal output from my most recent run (and no, I have only saved this one):

EDIT: The fps stuff at the end, reverted to the programme crashing over and over, to try and find a device (which the iMac is already plugged in to), without ever succeeding. So, after restarting my iMac for the 7th time, it lost the progress I have made to get this crappy programme to work. It now displays the following:

Nice, this repo is also dead. What a scam!

luni-moon commented 2 years ago

I have concluded that this software is not workable. Anybody have any good software alternatives?

What does this have to do with my issue??? Mine never even worked...

MindShow commented 2 years ago

It is rebuliding with a new frame，

luni-moon commented 2 years ago

It is rebuliding with a new frame，

Did you even read my whole issue, @MindShow? Your reply didn't answer my concerns, or help me in the least bit. How could it be rebuilding, when it never even launches?

MindShow commented 2 years ago

sorry for my poor English. I mean we are woking on new version driver with another framework.

luni-moon commented 2 years ago

Will it work with the physical USB to HDMI dongle I have now?

luni-moon commented 2 years ago

Well, I no longer need this to work, since I got something else. Waste of money!!!

viniciusbenicio commented 2 years ago

@Lukas-Batema What alternative?

luni-moon commented 2 years ago

@Lukas-Batema What alternative?

Just bought a new monitor and got a thunderbolt to hdmi cable.

jcodesss commented 2 years ago

@MindShow when is the driver will available for mac os?
