Sizing options for remote screen #571

Currently there is no way to adjust the remote screen size independently from the browser window. It would be useful if there were predefined options for the sizing. Those could live somewhere under the “View” menu. E.g. something like:

Original (original size, regardless of viewport)
Fit (always make remote screen fit into viewport)
Fixed ? (Some fixed ratio)

One question here: is the remote screen always shown in 640x480 or are these Macro-Silicon-HDMI chips also capable of delivering higher resolutions? I always just assumed there were higher resolutions possible as well, but I realized that might not be true?

mtlynch commented 3 years ago

The MacroSilicon dongles capture up to 1080p. 640x480 is super small. Does your target system allow you to adjust the resolution up any more or does it only show 640x480p as an option?

Ah thanks, I need to check that again next week and look what settings there are (I don’t have the dongle with me currently). So far I didn’t bother much because I only use plug in the video for occasional testing.

(I have this one, btw., which from the specs should support higher resolutions.)
