A GUI tool that integrates with software such as Sunshine to install, uninstall, reload and configure Indirect Display Driver Sample (IddSample) implementations, like the HDR-capable Virtual Display Driver from VirtualDrivers, on Windows 10/11 — in place of editing configs by hand or installing drivers through Device Manager.
Note
v0.6.x, written in AutoHotkey, is the current working version — download it from Releases. It will likely be the last version packaged as AutoHotkey. A Go port is in development on main but is not close to GA and not ready for use: only its UI is functional. StageFreight, the Dungeon production environment and other work are prioritized separately, so there is no ETA for the Go port.
- Download the latest release zip from Releases and unpack it.
- Unpack the Virtual Display Driver (or another IddSample driver) into the same folder and install its certificate.
- Run
PRPlanIT.com-VirtualDisplayDrv_Wiz.exeas administrator.
To have every Sunshine client add and switch to its own resolution, set this as a Sunshine command:
C:\IddSampleDriver\SunshineIntegration.bat %SUNSHINE_CLIENT_WIDTH% %SUNSHINE_CLIENT_HEIGHT% %SUNSHINE_CLIENT_FPS%See Sunshine for the full setup.
