Update User-Agent for better quality? #36

Open rvelasquez opened 2 years ago

rvelasquez commented 2 years ago

Hi,

I just ran into this article saying that Microsoft adjusts the streaming quality based on User-Agent strings. A developer was able to increase the visual quality of their stream by changing the User-Agent to make it look like a Windows computer was connecting. Any chance you can try this with your builds to see if there is an increase in visual quality?

Hello. New release announcement https://github.com/mistertest/xcloud-shield/issues/42

@mistertest please check this out. Looks like even if you use linux edge user agent, things should be alright.

Although I guess using windows 10 edge user agent would be safe.

PS (Edit) - With xcloud-shield v4.4 the resolution is still at 720p. Does v4.4 support 1080p? I’m on Nvidia Shield 2017.
