Allow for numerical input selection instead of by name

[oliversscripts]

One of my monitors (Gigabyte M32U) does not provide the correct list of inputs to select from - It has a Type C, DisplayPort and two HDMI inputs but displays VGA, DVI, DisplayPort & HDMI as possible options in the picklist. I have the same issue with ControlMyMonitor but am able to pass the numerical input value (i.e. 15, 16, 17 & 18) instead which works for all four inputs on the monitor.

Would it be possible to override the input selection with a numerical value instead?

Hi Oliver,

I suggest you create the rule, close the app, then edit rules.json to adjust the SourceId. That will let you switch to the desired source.

Cheers,

If you'd like to 'rename' certain sources, for example you'd like:

• 'VGA' to be displayed as 'USB-C'
• 'DVI' to be displayed as 'HDMI'

Create a file called config.json and populate it like this:

{
  "Overrides": {
    "MonitorOverrides": [
      {
        "Model": "Blah",
        "SourceDisplayNames": [
          {
            "SourceId": 1,
            "NewDisplayName": "USB-C"
          },
          {
            "SourceId": 3,
            "NewDisplayName": "HDMI"
          }
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
}

The SourceId comes from here.
