If a new client connects but there has not been a capture timeout the
new client count wont be zeroed on a valid capture. If there is a
timeout later the host will still think there is a new client and
re-send a frame when it should not. This fixes this by reading the value
on a valid frame which zeros the new subs count.
If the wait times out, we used to simply restart the loop, which causes
it to check this->stop and exit if set to true. However, nvfbc_stop
already calls lgSignalEvent, which would wake up the pointer thread to
perform the check, so there is no need to set a timeout on the wait.
The host is a 64-bit application, so requiring 64-bit Windows isn't an
issue. However, not using 32-bit installers has an advantage: we don't
need to require WoW64.
It works, with the following limitations:
1. user is forced to select the monitor through platform-specific mechanisms
every time the client starts.
2. cursor is composed onto the screen, and no position can be reported.
This commit makes the crash handler show relative paths instead of absolute
ones, which makes the stack traces generated easier to read.
On the other hand, absolute paths makes sense on Linux, since the user is
expected to build the binaries themselves, and gdb will be able to find the
source code.
This commit adds damage tracking to the DXGI textures, and only copies the
damaged areas to the textures with ID3D11DeviceContext::CopySubresourceRegion.
The sleep logic in waitFrame makes it difficult for this to reduce the
latency, but removing it shows significant improvements (6-7 ms to ~3 ms)
when a tiny portion of the screen is damaged, while showing no difference on
full screen damage.
This implementation uses a line sweep algorithm to copy the precisely the
intersection of all accumulated damage rectangles, ensuring that every
pixel is copied exactly once, and no pixel is ever copied multiple times.
Furthermore, once a row has been swept, we update the framebuffer write
pointer immediately.
Certain drivers do not support pitches that are not multiples of 128 bytes,
and instead just does some kind of rounding internally. On DXGI, this is not
a problem because the API rounds pixel pitch, but NvFBC does not. This causes
certain resolutions to simply not work with dmabuf, most notably 3440x1440,
which is 1440p ultrawide.
Since we are copying pixels with the CPU anyways, we might as well round the
pitch up to 128 bytes (32 pixels).
This commit adds a new host configuration option, nvfbc:diffRes, which
specifies the dimensions of every block in the diff map. This defaults to
128, meaning the default 128x128 block size.
Since block sizes other than 128x128 is not guaranteed to be supported by
NvFBC, the function NvFBCGetDiffMapBlockSize was introduced to query the
support and output the actual block size used.
When our window is destroyed, our timers are also destroyed. This causes our
attempt at destruction to fail. Instead, set MessageHWND to NULL in the
WM_DESTROY handler and don't try destroying the timers if the window is gone.
