White Streaming window without controls #5

Open gn0m3r4l opened 2 years ago

Hey there,

I downloaded and started version 1.3.1 (with and without admin priv.). I get the mentioned two windows and can drag them both. But the streaming window is always empty (completely white). I do not even get any control panels like a close button. Do I need to start a Teams Call for showing the content?

mPyKen commented 2 years ago

I haven't seen that happening... Which version of windows are you running? Does it work on another device or another user account?

gn0m3r4l commented 2 years ago

Unfortunately I cannot test on any other device.

By accident, I noticed that it seems to be a display issue. I run my internal notebook display aside of an 49" widescreen (Samsung G9, connected via displayport) display. 49" is main display, extending to the 15" notebook display.

If I move the red bordered windows over to the internal display, the preview window shows content. But as soon as I move it back to the larger display, the described white content appers.

mPyKen commented 2 years ago

Oh I see, I think multiple displays and/or their arrangement is causing the problem. Will it work if you turn your notebook display off? I can also try to reproduce this issue if you could share your exact display arrangement settings

gn0m3r4l commented 2 years ago

Notebook display off won't fix. Seems to be related to the main display. Display is: Samsung Odyssey G9 Curved Gaming Monitor C49G93TSSR, 49 Zoll

By quickly viewing your code, you handle high dpi in a special way. Could this be related?

gn0m3r4l commented 2 years ago

I downloaded you code, running it in intellij or vs code. Which is the main class to be started? npm install causes errors for me

mPyKen commented 2 years ago

npm install causes errors for me

On my end it works with node version 14.17.3 and npm 6.14.13

you handle high dpi in a special way

you can try running the executable with --consider-scale parameter which causes not to forcibly set scaling factor

gn0m3r4l commented 2 years ago

I will try tomorrow morning and keep you up to date

gn0m3r4l commented 2 years ago

I updated my node version which seemed to be the installation problem.

But: Running from intellij with "npm run", it won't work even as descriped above. Both windows open, but dragging the recording window only displays the new location in IDE log.

I am out of clues... sorry

@mPyKen hello. I'm facing the same issue when I enable "10-bit pixel format" in AMD software.

mPyKen commented 2 years ago

I see, interesting! thanks for reporting. I don't have a 10 bit pixel format monitor, it will be tough to figure out how to solve this...

Kotaless commented 2 years ago

Let me know if you need log or tester. Thanks for your work.

Not sure if it can be helpful but there is a similar software working fine on 10-bit. https://github.com/tom-englert/RegionToShare

mPyKen commented 2 years ago

RegionToShare is using .NET and does not depend on electron which seems to be the problem here: related electron issue links to chromium issue. If you start a meeting application within chromium and try to share some content, do you see your desktop as an option to select from?

Kotaless commented 2 years ago

I can share my screen in Edge chromium. Btw I'm not using HDR, just 10-bit color.
