This project is archived and no longer maintained. From now, I will use, support and recommend Nonarys ResolutionAutomation script as it is maintained more actively. I will keep this repository for historical purposes.

Glare

This script is designed to automate the process of changing display resolution when starting and ending game streaming sessions using Sunshine. It allows you to switch to a specific resolution and scaling mode when starting the streaming session and restore the original resolution when ending the session.

Inspiration

This script was inspired by the code found in the following GitHub repository: ResolutionAutomation.

Prerequisites

Before using this script, make sure you have the following:

• Sunshine installed on your system.
• The setdpi.exe tool if you plan to change the dpi (scale) when streaming. You can download it from here.
• A display that can display the resolution of your client (you can add custom resolutions in both AMD and Nvidia settings app)
• Enable debug log level on Sunshine configuration dashboard (Configuration -> Log Level -> Debug)

Note

The installation process for this script will be simplified once I do the installer like OG script.

Usage

The script accepts the following parameters:

• restore (mandatory): Set this to $true if you want to restore the original resolution when ending the streaming session.
• changeScaling (optional): Set this to $true if you want to change the display scaling mode. Default is $true.
• displayToScale (optional): Specify the display index to change the scaling mode. This is the number that windows assignes a display to in display settings. Default is 1.

Add these lines (with modified displayToScale) to your Command Preparations in General section of Sunshine:

Do Command

powershell.exe -executionpolicy bypass -file "<PathToTheScirptFolder>\main.ps1" -restore:$false -changeScaling:$true -displayToScale:1

Undo Command

powershell.exe -executionpolicy bypass -file "<PathToTheScirptFolder>\main.ps1" -restore:$false -changeScaling:$true -displayToScale:1

Configuration

The script assumes that the Sunshine log file is located at C:/Windows/Temp/sunshine.log. If your log file is in a different location, modify the $sunshineLogFilePath variable in the script accordingly.

The script can also use an overrides.txt file in the script folder for defining custom resolution and scaling settings. Each line in the file should follow the format original_widthxoriginal_heightxoriginal_refresh_rate=new_widthxnew_heightxnew_refresh_rate[=scaling]. scaling parameter is optional. An example line in the overrides.txt file would be 1920x1080x60=1280x720x60=125.

Customization

If you need to modify the script or extend its functionality, you can do so by editing the PowerShell script directly. The script uses PowerShell classes and functions to handle resolution-related operations.
