Running BAT script upon connecting from Moonlight

[judsonjames]

I've setup and am very satisfied with using Sunshine + Moonlight to stream games from my desktop to other places in my home. However, my main desktop is running a Samsung Odyssey G9 Neo as my only monitor, a 32:9 1440p screen. I've gone through the process and fixed my Nvidia control panel to allow my screen to run at 2560x1440p if I want.

Now, I have found success using GameStream LaunchPad when running the BAT scripts needed to adjust my screen to the correct resolution/aspect ratio to comfortably stream my games at 16:9 resolutions from a 32:9 screen. However, I'm having issues getting this BAT script to run under the Applications section of Sunshine's UI. I have a path specified for where the script is located, and can confirm that the script starts when I supply the path to the Command field, but for whatever reason this starts the game display of my choice and then immediately crashes Sunshine. I don't have error codes to report since I don't know where to pull the logs. However, I then tried to follow the build-in example for Steam Big Picture Mode (BPM) and run the custom BAT as a detached command, but then it can't locate the base gamestream_launchpad.exe that's needed.

So, my question to the people of Sunshine is if anyone has a working configuration using GameStream LaunchPad or another screen size changing solution?

Are you the same person that was asking about this yesterday in the discord server?

Without seeing your bat file, I am just guessing that bat is not set to use a specific working directory, and then it fails to find the executable file.

I think they provide the BAT because it's loadable by GeForce Experience. They don't explicitly list Sunshine as a supported option but I figured I would at least try.

However, when I updated my Sunshine UI Config to look like this

It fails to connect and this message is spat out by the Sunshine console

Couldn't run [cd /d "E:\game_streaming\gamestream_launchpad" && gamestream_launchpad.exe 2560 1440 gamestream_playnite.ini]: System: The system cannot find the file specified

Try the second option I entered here: https://github.com/LizardByte/Sunshine/discussions/310#discussioncomment-3352647

I tried the second option you specified , this is the error message

[gamestream_launchpad.exe 2560 1440 gamestream_playnite.ini]: System: The system cannot find the file specified

This is all I have to do to get my gamestream_launchpad to function properly in Sunshine.

Additionally, here's my Bat file contents.

@ECHO OFF

cd /d "S:\Games\gamestream_launchpad"

start /MIN gamestream_launchpad.exe 1920 1080 gamestream_playnite.ini

[ReenigneArcher]

@KaosC57 to avoid a bat file you could just do this cd /d "S:\Games\gamestream_launchpad" && start /MIN gamestream_launchpad.exe 1920 1080 gamestream_playnite.ini

Any time you use start you will need to use a detached command in sunshine, since the start process does not continue as a sub process but instead starts a new process.

@ReenigneArcher i got this working using a batch file but wasn't able to do so with the script you specified. regardless, working fine with the batch file. question, though: how might i go about having sunshine detect when gamestream_launchpad.exe exits and end the stream?
