Request: Mute during RDP Session

[shawngmc]

I was wondering if it would be possible to add muting while an RDP session is active.

There is a Win32 function to detect this state in User32.lib:

#include <windows.h>
#pragma comment(lib, "user32.lib")

BOOL IsRemoteSession(void)
{
   return GetSystemMetrics( SM_REMOTESESSION );
}

See https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/termserv/detecting-the-terminal-services-environment?redirectedfrom=MSDN

This would be helpful for when I'm remoting into my PC and don't want IM notifications blaring in the house.

Hi Shawn, thanks for looking up the relevant API (Leaving this here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/termserv/detecting-the-terminal-services-environment for me later)

About your scenario: When you login to your RDP session, was the user session already running or is it started with your login? If its the former, I have to add logic to detect when the current session changes to a remote session. If its the latter, WinMute can ust read SM_REMOTESESSION once on startup.

Added. If you want to try it out, you can download the pre-release version "1.9.9.2".
