The pre-command version of this script is more "reactive", meaning it only runs when necessary. It also has a longer grace peroid during the suspension of a stream, 120 seconds, before reverting back. When ending a stream in Moonlight, it will revert back instantly.
Requirements:
- Host must be Windows
- HDR Capable Display
- Sunshine Nightly or 0.21.0 and greater.
Caveats:
- If using Windows 11, you'll need to set the default terminal to Windows Console Host as there is currently a bug in Windows Terminal that prevents hidden consoles from working properly.
- That can be changed at Settings > Privacy & security > Security > For developers > Terminal [Let Windows decide] >> (change to) >> Terminal [Windows Console Host]
- Prepcommands do not work from cold reboots, and will prevent Sunshine from working until you logon locally.
- You should add a new application (with any name you'd like) in the WebUI and leave both the command and detached command empty.
- When adding this new application, make sure global prep command option is disabled.
- That will serve as a fallback option when you have to remote into your computer from a cold start.
- Normal reboots issued from start menu, will still work without the workaround above as long as Settings > Accounts > Sign-in options and "Use my sign-in info to automatically finish setting up after an update" is enabled which is default in Windows 10 & 11.
- The script will stop working if you move the folder, simply reinstall it to resolve that issue.
What it Does:
Checks to see if the last connected Moonlight client asked for HDR, if so, it will enable HDR. Otherwise, it will disable it.
Once the stream ends, it will configure the last HDR setting prior to starting the stream.
Credits:
The HDR toggling code is from the following repositories:
- https://github.com/Codectory/AutoActions - The original developer of the HDR toggle code that made calling the DLL possible.
- https://github.com/anaisbetts/AutoActions - She added two additional exported functions to make calling the DLL easier.
