compiling the repo with the latest parsec version cause a compile error:

looking at their SDK changes with previous version ( 5.0 ), they replace modeUpdate with hidden. changing the code will compile it fine.

Hi,

I just installed from AUR and made it work - so far documentation was helpful!

Now, I am not able to "leave the window" with my keyboard / mouse cursor inputs using ctrl+alt (which was a pretty useful info printed in the title bar).

Situation is funny now, because every time I try to kick myself from parsec, I get reconnected, so no chance to leave the streaming window on the client side.

On the host side, I cannot quit parsec, because I cannot kick myself (long enough for my screen to go back from black).

I feel a bit stuck :D

Workaround?
ctrl+alt+F1 (/F2/F3 etc.) seem to work, so i might switch to console and kill the streaming client from there.

VDI stream client is a great tool. Does the host support Mac now? If not, is there any plan to support it in the future?

Hello.
Parsec doesn't support Linux hosts but for me it's must have feature. I don't use Windows. I would like to have a good arm64/amd64 alternative to Anydesk for remote work via cloud servers. Seems like your app can be that alternative.
In readme you wrote:

VDI Stream Host application seems reasonable

Do you have plans for creating the host application in the future that supports Linux?

My host event loop:

  case HOST_EVENT_USER_DATA: {
    char *data = ParsecGetBuffer(parsec, event.userData.key);
    printf("udata id: %d, data: %s\n", event.userData.id, data);
    ParsecFree(parsec, data);
    break;

To change the host's screen resolution directly in client, Parsec send this message:

udata id: 11, data:
{
  "video": [
    {
      "output": "none",
      "encoderMaxBitrate": 10,
      "encoderFPS": 0,     // 0 to keep the host settings
      "resolutionX": 1920, // expected value
      "resolutionY": 1080,
      "fullFPS": false,    // true to tell the host records upto FPS limit
      "hostOS": 0
    },
    {
      // same as previous, but resolutionX and Y are 0
    },
    {
      // same as previous
    }
  ]
}

Seems Parsec supports upto 3 video streams, but only 2 (NUM_VSTREAMS) in SDK.

Moreover, I found two empty udata every a few long secs:

udata id: 9, data: 
udata id: 10, data: 

And we've already known 7 (PARSEC_APP_CLIPBOARD_MSG) is used to transfer clipboard data 😄

Thank you for this project, it's incredibly useful and the client performs rather well.

Everything works great with xwayland, but as soon as SDL_VIDEODRIVER=wayland is set I don't seem to get any rendered output even though the connection is established and no errors are being returned:

Initialize SDL
Initialize TTF
Initialize Parsec
Disable audio streaming
Connect to Parsec service
Connect to Parsec host
Initialize Video Decoder
Use resolution 1920x1080

wayland log
waydebug.log

It's not clear to me if native wayland is supported or not - no errors suggests that it might be, but no rendered window could suggest issues with my setup or something larger.

I'm using sway as my wm, so not sure if tiling could be causing some issues but I don't see how - any input would be much appreciated

Could you show us how to install this VDI tool on chimera OS based on arch linux.

please provide short quick video
