Moonlight 4x3 Resolutions

mcorcoran

I'm having trouble getting moonlight to stream in a 4x3 resolution to my old CRT. I've tried setting the height and width manually per the topic above to 720x480 (Along with a number of other 4x3 resolutions) but moonlight keeps complaining that the host does not support this resolution. When I check the machine in windows though I can set the resolution to 720x480 so I know the card supports it. Does anyone know how I can get moonlight to recognize the 4x3 screen resolution?

Thanks!

I'm just curious but what happens if you set the host machine to that resolution before you launch Moonlight?

HI @backstander thanks for the suggestion. I just tried it and If I manually set the resolution before I connect to it works perfectly. However, if I try to change the resolution after I connect it stays at whatever the initial resolution is.

It would be nice to have a more automatic way switching resolutions then having to switch the PC everytime but this could work for now. Thanks.

Can you post the contains of your .sh file that you're using to launch Moonlight in 720x480?

Here's what I'm using:
moonlight stream -unsupported -width 720 -height 480 -quitappafter -audio local -verbose -app "Marvel Vs Capcom 2"

Without the 'unsupported' it won't run at all, although it seems to ignore whatever I put in the width and height and just goes with whatever the system was set at.

I wonder if it has something to do with GFE version because you're having to use "-unsupported". Do you have the newest version of the GeForce Experience installed on your Windows PC?

Also, you might have just typed it wrong in the post but "-localaudio" is just one word without spaces. I remember one time I was having trouble with resolutions and I discovered I was spelling "width" wrong.

Another thing you can try is putting the "-width 720 -height 480" before the "-unsupported" in that command. If you could get it working without "-unsupported" by updating GFE, that would probably be better.

Last, you might also experiment with the refresh rates by adding either "-fps 60" or "-fps 30". What refresh rate is your Windows PC when you manually set it to 720x480? That would be the refresh rate you should try first.
