Does the window mirroring feature use a different mirroring method than the display/selected area mirroring modes? It is MUCH smoother with less delay (tested by mirroring both a display and a window maximized on that display) than the other two mirroring modes. The color seems to be handled differently as well. When I mirror some content (almost all youtube videos with darker regions will trigger this) with the display/selected area mirroring modes, some dark areas seem to glitch out and display as pure white instead. This doesn't happen at all on the window mirroring mode.
Is it possible to update the display/selected area mirroring with these benefits?
It sure does! For mirroring windows, we can use a built-in DWM function to do it. It's the same function that the taskbar previews use to show a live preview of the window.
Unfortunately there's no such function for mirroring monitors or arbitrary areas, so we have to use a different method that's (as you've seen) not as good.
You can make it smoother by decreasing the polling interval. In the Settings > Advanced Settings, set the "Mirror Polling Interval (ms)" to something low, like 25 or 50. Note that the lower that setting, the higher the CPU usage will be, so you may want to tweak it to find your optimal trade off of performance vs CPU usage.
Hope that helps!
Not sure if any of that would be possible, but I will pass this over to our devs.
Thanks!
