Moonlight allows you to play your PC games on almost any device, whether you're in another room or miles away from your gaming rig. Moonlight (formerly Limelight) is an open source implementation of NVIDIA's GameStream protocol. Just wrote a little helper to start new virtual display automatically when moonlight client connects, matching client's resolution and framerate settings - just like what Sidecar does So my main PC (Host) has 2 monitors.

Understanding the Context

When i started using moonlight, I usually kept the PC 's display settings in a way that it only shows image in 'Screen 1' (bcs otherwise when i stream my display, some parts of the screen will go to display 2 and it won't be accessible to the laptop [ The laptop is the client ] ) . Suport for video output when the PC displays are off Moonlight Ideas ... Running the Moonlight executable from the command line could allow Moonlight to be executed with a script and e.g., run a specific application on a specific computer with specific options (frame rate, resolution, bitrate, full screen, etc.) through such a script with the right options. This script could then, for example, be task scheduled to run automatically on user sign-on.

Key Insights

I'd like to have a feature where you can toggle whenever your (phisical) screen must be public (current mode) or not (screen would become black, or at least have a message like "privacy mode is enabled"). Obviously, if the mode is enabled, you would still be able to control the computer through moonlight. And if you can, make it support multiple monitors. Thank you for providing an such software! Moonlight would give life to the old Xbox and also bring the console experience to PC with minimal effort.

Final Thoughts

it already supports up to 8 controllers and most people use it as a media console. of course Microsoft would probably not let it onto the Microsoft store, but I can see a lot of people including myself buying a developer account just to sideload it. The UWP version would also work with ... Moonlight-qt UWP release for Xbox and Windows ARM Moonlight Ideas and ...
