While using a physical display, I hope to be able to disconnect or remove a virtual display using the CLI, which I've noticed is included in the upcoming release. However, when connected to a virtual display, the primary screen often remains on the physical display. In such cases, unless I manually switch the main display to the virtual one using the physical controls, I might not find a better solution. Some DP and HDMI monitors, to my knowledge, stop sending signals to the graphics card after being turned off for a while, but I haven’t found a way to control this timing.

Could you please add a feature to turn off the physical display using the CLI in your program? Thank you.

....

This issue occurs when the first display is set DPI scaling > 100%, then the screen rectangle size is wrong.

I like your idea but couldn't figure out how to implement it as you described, so a simple build setup from your description would help alot

Is it possible to add multi-language support in the future?

parsec-vdd cannot add a virtual screen when connecting to microsoft remote desktop? Is this normal? The physical display has been disconnected！

Although a wide variety of resolutions and refresh rates are currently supported, is there an option for users to customize specific resolutions and refresh rates? I'm leveraging this solution to use my tablet as a secondary screen, but my tablet has an unconventional resolution ratio. I'd really appreciate the capability to customize both the resolution and refresh rate. Moreover, the official manual for the driver mentions customization through the registry, but I'm unsure if this project follows the same guideline. After installing the driver, I couldn't find the registry path mentioned in the official documentation on my computer（https://support.parsec.app/hc/en-us/articles/4423615425293-VDD-Advanced-Configuration）

After I installed it, I ran it directly with no problems. However, after restarting the computer, the software did not start with the restart, and it could not be started by double-clicking the software icon.

Virtual display adapter can be seen in device manager

A temporary solution is to reinstall the software after a reboot. But when operating remotely, I had to start RDP to complete the reinstall before continuing to stream remotely using the virtual display

Bonjour, est ce que ce repo explique comment utiliser un VDD avec parsec sans souscrire à leurs offre wrap ?

This will allow more people to call it in their favorite language!

How do i extract the driver files from the setup, it does not work for me, also is it possible to provide the driver source files

Parsec has announced VDD v0.45 in early of March.
https://builds.parsec.app/vdd/parsec-vdd-0.45.0.0.exe

Parsec Virtual Display Driver 0.45 allows you to select which physical GPU you wish the adapter to spawn on. This change is aimed at virtual machines and the selection can be changed using the Windows Registry.

Parsec Virtual Display Driver 0.45 greatly improves Privacy Mode and Virtual Display Driver reliability when used in combination with 150-93.

Seems the Privacy Mode bug (mentioned in README) has been fixed. And the driver setup (installer) is now using nefconw (by nefarius) instead of MS devcon. That will fix a problem that devcon cannot fully uninstall/override the driver files (mm.dll).

nefconw --remove-device-node --hardware-id Root\Parsec\VDA --class-guid "4D36E968-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318"
nefconw --create-device-node --class-name Display --class-guid "4D36E968-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318" --hardware-id Root\Parsec\VDA
nefconw --install-driver --inf-path ".\driver\mm.inf"

Sorry for my late, the ParsecVDisplay app will be released soon in the end of this month and should support VDD v0.45.

Parsec supports HDR 10-bit streaming for now, but the VDD does not.
To unlock that, the driver should be modified to unlock HDR inside its EDID (that will break the signature).

You can use EDID writer to modify directly the plugged vdisplay but I'm not sure that works.
In case of modifying the driver file (mm.dll), check out the README to find EDID in hex editor.

A["mm.dll"] .-> B["EDID"] .-> C["HDR support"] -->|apply| A

You need to use atleast 10-bit streaming and an HDR monitor to achive HDR in your view.
For example remote desktop with Moonlight or Parsec.

How about adding only the virtual screen display in windows settings?The settings only function as a copy of the physical screen and extend the physical screen,can i just set the virtual screen as the main screen only?Similar to the privacy mode?

hi

Thank you for the development，
When computer restarts, only the software is turned on, and the virtual display does not remember the last time it was added.
Also, is it possible to add a virtual display to boot to the sunshine command line?

thanks in advance for the help!

I only had some experience in matlab to support scientific work, the current read.me, issues and demo.cc excced the my capability,

Is it possible for you to make a step-by-step guide that anyone can follow? e.g. just typing-in code in console？

I would be really appreciated if you can do that. :)

I have observed that Microsoft Defender Antivirus is flagging ParsecVDisplay v0.45-a as Trojan:Script/Wacatac.B!ml and has isolated related files. Below are the detailed information:

在阳光用命令行退出串流切换显示器后，虚拟显示屏就不显示分辨率了，也不能正常使用。已经重新卸载和安装，问题依旧。

I would like to request a feature to fix the name of the generated virtual screen in the program I am using to extend my screen to a tablet. Currently, when setting up the display in Sunshine, I can specify the name of the display, which is convenient for quick setup.

However, the issue I am facing is that the new display is assigned a random name in the format .\DISPLAY{id}, where the "id" part is randomly generated during the screen generation process.

I kindly request an improvement in the program to provide a fixed name for the generated virtual screen, rather than the randomly assigned name. This would greatly enhance the usability and convenience of the program.
Thank you for considering my feature request. I look forward to your positive response.

When I use sunshine on my laptop, because sunshine states "If a GPU is specified above, the monitor must be connected to that GPU." This causes my sunshine to run normally when using the laptop's cpu core graphics card. When using the independent graphics direct connection mode, it seems that the virtual monitor is not connected to the independent graphics card, resulting in an error when using sunshine for streaming.

On Windows 10, all connected display configurations will be saved in a specific registry. Each configuration is a combination of current connected displays and the key should be joined names of them. That will produce an issue that when you disconnect a middle display, then all others will be reset their configuration to default. I have not tested on Windows 11, but heard the display configurations system is smarter than Windows 10.

For example, you have plugged 3 displays, the registry keys look like:

DISP001                   // conf for display 1
DISP001_DISP002           // conf for display 1+2
DISP001_DISP002_DISP003   // conf for display 1+2+3

graph LR
Display1 .-> Display2 .-> Display3

Then you unplug the display 2, the registry keys look like:

DISP001                   // conf for display 1
DISP001_DISP002           // conf for display 1+2
DISP001_DISP002_DISP003   // conf for display 1+2+3
DISP001_DISP003           // conf for display 1+3 [new]

graph LR
Display1 .-> Display3 ~~~ Display2

The last registry key is added for display 1 and display 3, it has no configuration before, so these connected displays will be reset to default mode (resolution & refresh rate). To avoid this issue, please unplug each display from right to left (remove the latest first).

Display1 ---x|2| Display2 ---x|1| Display3

Hi,

Thank you for your development. This has been really helpful/useful to me and I appreciate it a lot :) I just wanted to ask, is it possible to enable/disable or create/remove displays via command line? It would be cool if this was a thing if its not as Sunshine streamer allows for sending command when connecting/disconnecting a client. It would be perfect for creating/removing a display - or the better way to handle it would be enabling/disabling existing displays so the display ID doesnt change. Thank you!

如题,开机启动的同时,默认设置一个虚拟屏幕
