All Screens called "Unknown screen"?

[chrisspiegl]

I am using Aperture through Aperture-Node to create simple screen recordings.

When I run the code to list all the available screens, all of them show up as Unknown screen.

[ { id: 1, name: 'Unknown screen' } ]

Is there a way to improve this so that it shows something more valuable?

I am on macOS 12.3 with a M1 Max machine.

I found two related node.js packages. Maybe these help bring the correct names over?

• https://github.com/codebytere/node-mac-displays
• https://github.com/kristian/displays

I chose to go with the node-mac-displays in my own project for now. The id this library provides is equal to the one provided by aperture-node so it's compatible and it spits out human friendly names for the displays, like:

• Built-in Retina Display
• DELL P2411H

Possibly this lib could be used to achieve this in this lib as well? Or possibly copy the approach taken by the lib?
