Describe the Bug
I'm trying to let sunshine work with Parsec-VDD because it can be control via CLI but after I finishing steps below, it doesn't work as I excepted:
- Add a set of Command Preparation:[{"do":"cmd /c "vdd -a"","elevated":true,"undo":"cmd /c "vdd -r""}]
- Specify Adapter Name
- Specify display device id
- Set "Advanced display device options -> Device configuration" to "Deactivate other displays and activate only the specified display"
Expected Behavior
Since the display device id of Parsec-VDD is fixed and independent of the actual display, it can be accessed remotely regardless of whether the host is now connected to the display or not, and since installing the device only when needed ('vdd -a') will not affect the daily use of the host (e.g. daily use is accidentally set to 'second monitor only')
