改了啥呀

  • 在 Windows HDR 客户端读取串流窗口所在输出的 SDR reference white,并随 launch/resume 上报给主机
  • 串流期间每秒检测显示器或白点变化,主机支持时通过加密控制通道动态更新
  • HDR 亮度检测改为优先使用实际选中的显示器,而不是随手抓第一个 HDR 输出
  • 给 D3D11 swapchain 补齐 HDR10 mastering metadata、MaxCLL 和 MaxFALL,直通 shader 路径也能拿到正确显示信息
  • 更新 moonlight-common-c 到已合入的动态 SDR 白点协议提交

为啥要改

PQ 是绝对亮度编码,主机必须知道观看端的 SDR 白点,才能把主机 scRGB 桌面的 SDR band 锚到正确亮度。此前客户端没有传这个值,多显示器时还可能取错亮度 profile,于是主机只能在错误基准上编码,调 PQ 参数也救不回那层泛白,真是杂鱼级误差链啦。

旧主机不识别扩展参数时会忽略它;运行时更新也受 feature flag 保护。Android 已有自己的显示亮度链路,这次修改只落在 Windows 客户端路径。

配套主机修复:AlkaidLab/foundation-sunshine#1008

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds Windows SDR white-level detection, launch-time and runtime host updates, preferred-display HDR selection, and HDR metadata cleanup. RemoteStreamConfig carries the detected SDR white brightness.

Changes

SDR and HDR display pipeline

Layer / File(s) Summary
Windows display detection
app/streaming/session.h, app/streaming/session.cpp
Session captures the client display name, resolves exact SDL-to-Qt display matches, selects the preferred HDR display, and queries SDR white nits through Windows DisplayConfig.
SDR brightness propagation
app/backend/remotecomputer.h, app/backend/nvhttp.cpp, app/streaming/session.cpp, moonlight-common-c/moonlight-common-c
RemoteStreamConfig stores SDR white brightness. Launch requests include valid rounded values. Streaming updates send changed SDR white levels to the host.
HDR metadata cleanup
app/streaming/video/ffmpeg-renderers/d3d11va.cpp
The renderer clears video-processor and swapchain HDR metadata when HDR output is disabled, uses a non-10-bit format, cannot retrieve stream metadata, or probes for display metadata after unavailable processor state.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 48534

This PR adds SDR-white calibration to Windows HDR launch/resume requests and live stream updates while improving display-specific HDR metadata handling. A bounded merge-readiness risk remains because display moves or reconnects may leave stale cached display selection and send incorrect calibration, and client/host protocol compatibility should receive explicit owner confirmation; the likely impact is limited to HDR brightness calibration.

1257-1257: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Refresh the cached display name before the launch query.

m_ClientDisplayName is captured once in initialize(), but the streaming window later uses the current m_QtWindow->screen(). If the UI window moves before startConnectionAsync() runs, the launch request can report the SDR white level for a different display. Capture the display name at the same launch snapshot point used for window placement, or pass that snapshot into startConnectionAsync().

1269-1270: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Refresh the display snapshot before reconnecting.

m_ClientDisplayName is assigned only in Session::initialize(). tryReconnect() invokes startConnectionAsync(), which passes the cached name to queryDisplayHdrBrightness(). If the streaming window moved to another display, reconnect can send the previous display’s SDR white level. Hosts without LI_FF_DYNAMIC_SDR_WHITE cannot correct this during the stream. Refresh the display name before each asynchronous launch and reconnect, while preserving the existing thread-safety boundary for QQuickWindow access.
