failed to load configuration

[ziobbe]

Hello, thanks for putting the time into this project, it is the simplest setup I've seen for this purpose.

I'm having issues starting the service: even if I have theese config files set up: $cat ~/.config/display-switch/display-switch.ini

usb_device = "04d9:a0cd"
monitor_id = "ViewSonic"
on_usb_connect = "DisplayPort1"
on_usb_disconnect ="Hdmi1"
on_usb_connect_execute = "echo connected"
on_usb_disconnect_execute = "echo disconnected"

$ cat /etc/display-switch.ini

usb_device = "04d9:a0cd"
monitor_id = "ViewSonic"
on_usb_connect = "DisplayPort1"
on_usb_disconnect ="Hdmi1"
on_usb_connect_execute = "echo connected"
on_usb_disconnect_execute = "echo disconnected"

I get this error:

Dec 13 18:35:43 Hoggrs-endevour display_switch[94911]: Error: failed to load configuration

The ini loads fine for me on Windows, have you tried using only 1 ini file?

Try to place the monitor_id under a [monitor#] header.

Like so:

usb_device = "04d9:a0cd"

[monitor1]
monitor_id = "ViewSonic"
on_usb_connect = "DisplayPort1"
on_usb_disconnect ="Hdmi1"
on_usb_connect_execute = "echo connected"
on_usb_disconnect_execute = "echo disconnected"
