Major change in this release
Primarily due to issues with the WOL-functionality it is now possible to install (a part of) ColorControl as a Windows Service.
A specific fix for better WOL-functionality requires ColorControl to create a temporary IP address entry on the local computer that points to the MAC/IP-address of the TV.
This can only be done as admininistrator and the best way is executing that code via a Windows Service.
After starting this version of ColorControl for the first time you will be presented with this question (only if not already running as admininistrator):
Elevation is needed in some cases where ColorControl needs administrator rights.
Some operations like installing a service, changing the priority of a process or creating a temporary IP-route for improved WOL-functionality will not work without those rights.
These methods are available:
- None: no administrator operations can be executed (unless program already manually is started as admin)
- Run as admin: only available when starting automatically after login (configures scheduled task with highest privileges)
- Use Windows Service: this will install a Windows Service that handles the operations which need admin rights. This is the preferred method.
- Use dedicated elevated process: a second ColorControl-process will be spawned that is run as administrator.
The best and suggested method to provide this is via a Windows Service. Only when installing the service a User Account Control window may popup.
Do you want to install and start the Windows Service now? You can always change this on the Options-tab page.
NOTE: installing the service may cause a User Account Control popup.
Choose 'Yes' to get the best experience.
LG controller:
- improved WOL-functionality, especially after resuming the PC from standby. Another change is that if you use the Windows Service, TV's might be waken up sooner now after startup of the system, because the service is started before the user logs on.
NVIDIA controller:
- switching between certain refresh rates (like 23Hz and 24Hz or 59Hz and 60Hz) should now work better
Added to Options:
- Elevation-method: here you can change the elevation method (see above)
