Function Documentation

choose_best_video_mode()

VIDEO_MODE startup::choose_best_video_mode

(

const std::vector< VIDEO_MODE > &

availableVideoModes

)

Choose the best video mode from an already collected list.

Parameters

availableVideoModes

The list of candidate modes to evaluate.

Returns

The preferred mode, or a default-initialized VIDEO_MODE when the input list is empty.

choose_default_stream_video_mode() [1/2]

VIDEO_MODE startup::choose_default_stream_video_mode	(	const std::vector< VIDEO_MODE > &	availableVideoModes,
		const VIDEO_MODE &	outputVideoMode )

Choose the default stream-resolution mode from detected Xbox modes.

Parameters

availableVideoModes	Detected Xbox video modes exposed in settings.
outputVideoMode	Active Xbox output mode selected at startup.

Returns

A detected default mode when possible, otherwise a canonical fallback.

choose_default_stream_video_mode() [2/2]

VIDEO_MODE startup::choose_default_stream_video_mode

(

const VIDEO_MODE &

outputVideoMode

)

Choose the default stream-resolution mode for the current output mode.

The default favors an SD Xbox mode to keep software decoding practical.

Parameters

outputVideoMode

Active Xbox output mode selected at startup.

Returns

Default stream-resolution mode for new or missing settings.

filter_stream_video_modes_for_encoder_settings()

std::vector< VIDEO_MODE > startup::filter_stream_video_modes_for_encoder_settings	(	const std::vector< VIDEO_MODE > &	availableVideoModes,
		unsigned long	encoderSettings )

Filter detected stream-resolution modes through display-aspect encoder settings.

XVideoListModes() already filters progressive and HD modes through the encoder settings. This helper applies the widescreen flag so SD wide-width modes are only exposed when the console is configured for widescreen.

Parameters

availableVideoModes	Detected Xbox video modes from XVideoListModes().
encoderSettings	The value returned by XVideoGetEncoderSettings().

Returns

Modes suitable for the stream-resolution settings list.

format_video_mode_lines()

std::vector< std::string > startup::format_video_mode_lines

(

const VideoModeSelection &

selection

)

Return human-readable lines describing the detected and selected video modes.

Parameters

selection

Video-mode selection to describe.

Returns

Formatted diagnostic lines for startup logging or UI display.

is_preferred_video_mode()

bool startup::is_preferred_video_mode	(	const VIDEO_MODE &	candidateVideoMode,
		const VIDEO_MODE &	currentBestVideoMode )

Return whether a candidate mode should replace the current best mode.

A candidate must be at least as good as the current best mode in width, height, color depth, and refresh rate, while preferring 720p over 1080i.

Parameters

candidateVideoMode	The mode being evaluated.
currentBestVideoMode	The currently selected best mode.

Returns

true if the candidate should replace the current best mode.

log_video_modes()

void startup::log_video_modes

(

const VideoModeSelection &

selection

)

Log information about available and selected video modes.

Parameters

selection

The selection object to log.

select_best_video_mode()

VideoModeSelection startup::select_best_video_mode	(	int	bpp = 32,
		int	refresh = REFRESH_DEFAULT )

Detect and choose the best available video mode.

Parameters

bpp	Desired bits-per-pixel color depth. Default is 32.
refresh	Desired refresh rate or REFRESH_DEFAULT to accept the default.

Returns

A VideoModeSelection containing the detected modes and the selected best mode.

stream_resolution_presets()

std::vector< VIDEO_MODE > startup::stream_resolution_presets	(	int	bpp = 32,
		int	refresh = 60 )

Return canonical Xbox video modes usable as stream-resolution choices.

Runtime code should prefer modes detected by XVideoListModes(). These values are a fallback for code paths without live video-mode detection.

Parameters

bpp	Bits-per-pixel metadata to attach to each mode.
refresh	Refresh-rate metadata to attach to each mode.

Returns

Ordered list of canonical stream-resolution modes.
