[Sender] Screen mirroring issues on Win11 25H2

[frodri]

What happened?

Currently having some issues while mirroring content from Windows to Android with the FCast Sender:

• Receiver output is overly bright when sending content from an HDR-enabled display. (I can confirm that sending content from software-based Virtual Display Adapters works without issues when set up with SDR, though.)
• Sound on the sender device is not being mirrored on the Receiver, either.

Replication steps

Sender: FCast Sender 0.0.1 on Windows 11 25H2
Receiver: FCast Receiver 2.1.3-playstore on Android 13

1. Open FCast Receiver on Android device.
2. Once FCast Receiver's network listener is active. open FCast Sender on the Windows device.
3. Connect to the Android Device, and select the "Mirror Screen" option.

Thanks for reporting your issue.

Could you try mirroring to the Desktop receiver and see if the problem is still present with that one? Is the image similar to #46 (comment)?

Sound on the sender device is not being mirrored on the Receiver, either.

That's expected since it's only a available in the linux version.

I can confirm that Desktop Receiver does exhibit the same issue on my 25H2 laptop. I can also confirm the whites get washed out in a similar manner to the screenshot on the link.

Understood. In that case, should I go ahead and write up a feature request for sound mirroring support on Windows?

Thanks for the update.

Does the image in the display preview of the source picker also look wrong?

Sure. However we'll probably never support it due to the implementation complexity.

The Image Preview on the source picker does seem a lot brighter, now that you mention it.
