Needs testing

In Parsec build 150-85, we added a feature to use our virtual display driver to create a fallback display, if the feature is enabled (disabled-by-default).
This is a better solution that what this project currently does to enable the virtual displays, but I don't have the time to test it myself.

This should reliably create a virtual display to capture, but only if there are no other displays present.

I have tested it with Parsec 150-85c:

  • host_virtual_monitors = 1 is ignored, as I understand this is expected because free edition no longer respects this setting
  • host_virtual_monitor_fallback = 1 does not work because there always is another display present - Hyper-V display; in my case (Win 11 hypervisor and guest) disabling Hyper-V display in the guest, as the script in this repo does, does not prevent the guest system from detecting a connected virtual display. Uninstalling Hyper-V display in the guest does not help either - it automatically readds itself.

To continue using my VM I had to install another virtual display - usbmmidd_v2.

Thanks, that fixed the issue with host_virtual_monitors, wondering if it will survive an update

This project relies on the virtual displays, so it will remain. If/When fallback works in the case of these VMs, it may change, but you'll have working fallback

Closed until fallback works in cases where the available displays are not capturable
