Added an option for users to create their own custom resolutions in the desired aspect ratio. If the user has a phone with a 20:9 aspect ratio and a resolution of 2400x1080, they could scale it down to 1920x864 and still have full screen utilization.

I had this problem with my native resolution not being supported by the decoder, so I made this adjustment to enable full screen utilization simply by downscaling the resolution.

@LuisB79 I am not a maintainer here, but my guess is that it needs to be reviewed and properly tested.

I know wildcard imports are used in a few other places, but I'm not sure it's a good practice.

Probably a good practice to have an empty blank line at the end of each file.

Is this version available somewhere? Would love to try it on my tab a9+ that is refusing to use native resolution

Sadly not.

Everyone I ask begins to talk about a9+ isn't capable and it's demanding but that is just wrong and they don't know what they are talking about.

Using a moonlight version with custom resolution support for now @alphain24

yeah its unfortunate.....i really want to get my hands on a moonlight version with custom resolution support cause that would be so useful

Glad to hear! :) would be nice to be able to use 90hz too..

Bought this tablet for that reason because I gave my s6 lite away..

Would be good too have a dev look at our issue if it's moonlight or Samsungs issue

90Hz seems to be working on my device! no issues what so ever...you have use the virtual display driver and give it the 90hz refresh rate!! Works flawless

What os do you use and can you choose 90 in fps menu in moonlight? If you turn on stats it shows

so i basically use my phone and it has a 90hz display so it just shows me the 90hz option in moonlight and the os i use is xiomi...i tested with apple as well and the ios app seems to have the custom resolution feature already. but yes i have the 90fps in the menu in moonlight. you might have to turn on 90hz on your display first in your settings

you might want to switch to 90hz if possible if you cant im sure there are ways to achieve it but once you get 90hz on the display itself and you select 90hz on moonlight...you wont get the error -5

download the beta version of virtual display driver and you can add a custom resolution like 1680x1050

there is a video from mike the tech on this and just make sure that you use that resolution on the display driver. then i believe you should have no issues

I request this as well, mostly because I want to set my screen vertically and the default options (720p, 1080p, 4K, etc) are horizontally oriented only.

Sadly not. It's only the modified version of moonlight that enables to use a lower resolution but same aspect ratio...

It works great. I installed it in my Xiaomi Pad 7, I'm using moolight to use the tablet as a second screen for asahi linux from my M1 Macbook.

Hope this get merged to the official repo soon...
