Unable to use ipad as a secondary display

[jufel]

I tried all the troubleshooting steps, but my windows is just mirroring the display, and 'Extend' doesn't seem to work. What should I do?

[ClassicOldSong]

Can you confirm that the virtual display is created correctly in the system settings?

You can also try https://github.com/ClassicOldSong/Apollo/releases/tag/apollo-0.0.0-preview to see if it works for you.

I dont think so a virtual display got created automatically. I cant find the steps to do that in the readme. I have connected an iPad and my windows 11 pc via an USB c cable. Should I take any special care for this or should I get a usb-c to HDMI cable and the issue would be resolved?

You need to install Moonlight on your iPad in order to use Sunshine/Apollo.

[jufel]

I use Sunshine and Moonlight on the iPad.

[ClassicOldSong]

Then you need to start streaming on your iPad using Moonlight.

Yes i did that and its only mirroring the windows screen; even when I click extend. Ive also tried the Troubleshooting method for the same problem, but no changes still.

[ClassicOldSong]

So have you seen any virtual screen created temporarily when the stream starts?

Or can you try Apollo as I mentioned above to see if it works?

[jufel]

I do have Parsec VDD installed...but i dont know how to see if any virtual screen is created or not.

[ClassicOldSong]

Could you just try Apollo and see if it works? Apollo is a far more advanced solution than Widecar, and requires almost 0 additional setup.

By the way what version of Windows are you using?

@ClassicOldSong I have the same issue.
Apollo only mirrors the PC screen to my ipad
I am using windows 11

And when I open display settings, I only see the screen of my laptop, so there is no virtual screen displayed

[ClassicOldSong]

If you have seen 1|2 in your Windows settings, then the only thing you need to do is make the second display Extended

If not, you may have not got the vdd driver installed correctly.

If virtual displays can create but you're not able to launch any other apps, it's probably a permission issue: https://docs.lizardbyte.dev/projects/sunshine/en/latest/troubleshooting/windows.html

And this project is abandoned as described in the README, if you have issues with Apollo please open an issue there instead of here.
