WIP: Input only sessions

Open TheElixZammuto opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

Description

This is a Draft PR for making Sunshine capable of input-only sessions. Some clients, due to the platform limitations, are not able to have all the available input methods (for example the Xbox client does not allow mouse, touch and DS4 inputs due to limitations of the UWP API on Xbox) With this PR, Sunshine can make sessions without the video and audio thread initialized, to make more lightweight sessions.

This is a first draft the server part of the change. While I have a working client and moonlight-common-c modifications, I would prefer to discuss this on the server side with you before going forward to the other parts of the stack.
