"Video scale factor" option is practical but not precise

[moi952]

Hi,
Thanks for this app (and Apollo), the "Video scale factor" option is practical but not precise because if I launch in 1080p and I want the resolution on my host to be in 1440p I put 133% but it does not give a precise resolution.

Wouldn't it be possible to have the same thing with resolutions (a width field and a height field) like that we enter the resolution manually?

Thanks!

I can add a per-client override but that will conflict with other things, like when you dock to a 4k external monitor it will need a different resolution but it still overrides to the 1440P which isn't ideal.

The best solution is to configure it client side, which I'll look into recently.

The video scale factor is an option listed by Artemis, I admit that I never thought about the fact that people connect their phone to an external screen.

Anyway, if they are streaming, and it connects to an external screen, the resolution had not changed?

Because it requires that he leaves the Stream and restarts it for the scale to update?

There's also an equivalent on the server side in Apollo.

I need to think about how to make this option less confusing if provided both scale factor and custom resolution.

The resolution can't change in-stream, but off stream it can change sometimes, and it's not that rare.

Yes initially I was using the sunshine/apollo side matching but I completely disabled the feature, but on the other hand I "lost" the resolution matching. Maybe we could keep the apollo side matching without having to use the features that disable the screens (the feature you disabled in the default configurations in the latest version of apollo)

That would result into me forking yet another library from LizardByte. They got everything sealed into something that shouldn't be sealed which is impossible for me to call individual functions from it without modifying their source code.

So I have to leave it here like this...

Oh it's a pain that it's closed. Thanks again for your responsiveness
