Multi-(physical)-monitor support? #2

Open CookieAntonio opened 1 month ago

CookieAntonio commented 1 month ago

Current functionality in my experience: When Sunshine is detected to be streaming, it disables every monitor except the virtual monitor. Upon re-enabling when the Sunshine stream ends, it chooses a monitor (that was not my previous main monitor) to be the new "main" and does not re-enable my other monitors. I have to manually re-enable them and re-configure them through Nvidia control panel.

Am I doing something wrong? Thanks.

Figured putting the log as well would help.

It seems to be only re-activating LHC0035 and disabling the fake display successfully, but it's missing GSM76F9,DELA212. Any help is appreciated.

Fixed it. First, I hard-coded my monitor's display names. MultiMonitorTool didn't re-activate my other two monitors using the GSM76F9,DELA212 names for some reason. Rather, it preferred .\DISPLAY1, .\DISPLAY2, and .\DISPLAY3. I hard-coded these names into the script. Second, I also revised the script to include a cmd command to restore the previous positions of the monitors. Before, they arbitrarily were placed in a line with no order. MultiMonitorTool has a function where you can press Ctrl+Shift+S to save the current state / resolutions of the monitors, and stores it in the install location for MMT. This configuration can then be loaded in cmd with the command "MultiMonitorTool.exe /LoadConfig "c:\example.cfg"

I know this explanation is a little vague, but I'm leaving it that way because my fix will likely not work for everybody, and I'm sure I'm having this problem because everyone's computer is a little different. I'll leave the issue open with the hopes that at least the monitor configuration via MMT part gets implemented.

Thank you for providing an amazing baseline program. I'll now work on putting this script into my auto-start! :>
