I tried replacing the filename, but when I run it I get the following message：

Ah I was wondering why sunshine was not working for me.

I try to add a new plist to run sunshine to solve the problem.

1. sudo vi /Library/LaunchDaemons/my-autostart.macports.sunshine.plist
2. press i to insert code
3. copy the next code to the file and replace [your current account name] to your current account name.
4. sudo launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/my-autostart.macports.sunshine.plist
5. Reboot your mac and it run successfully in my case

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">

    <key>Label</key>

    <array>
        <string>/opt/local/bin/sunshine</string>
    </array>
</dict>
</plist>

There is also a org.macports.Sunshine.plist in /Library/LaunchDaemons/ and it look like to run sunshine, but it seems like not work successfully, no idea why it doesn't work

My guess is it's trying to load the macport one before the user is actually logged in.

@XuXianTao , just replace "{Sunshine}" on original .plist to "sunshine"...

Grant "screen recording permission" to the executable "/opt/local/bin/daemondo"

After the service starts, its settings, logs, etc. can be accessed in ~root/.config/sunshine

So, auto start "fixed", however, I still have a problem...

When accessing the desktop, the MacOS desktop is displayed, however, that's it... there are no more screen updates.

If I open an application, I don't see the new window for it in my "moonlight" client :-(

This happens whether running sunshine as a service, in the context of "root", or interactively, via terminal, from my user.

Thank God.... I'm not the only one to face this type of problem on the Mac 😂... Would the "solution" be to downgrade Sunshine?!

@wbrione Hey, can you try again with the new nightly? My PR #2485 that fixes encoding issues with macOS got merged and seems to fix issues for most users.

Apologies for my delay @Hazer ... So, because I found it easier to manage, I ended up adopting the "brew" installation method, which did not present the problems to setup auto start services as like macport.

Anyway, assuming I were to use the method via macport again, how do I install the "nightly" version with this fix ?

[ReenigneArcher]

You download the Portfile from the release of interest, in this case https://github.com/LizardByte/Sunshine/releases/nightly-dev

@ReenigneArcher ... I would really like to stay with the "brew installation method"...

How to download and install the latest version (pre-release)?! You know how ?!

When trying to install, it always downloads the source of the current release (v0.23.1 8b21db6)

:-(

[ReenigneArcher]

I thought you asked how to use the nightly Portfile.

For brew, I'm not 100% sure but I think you can use the head branch somehow.
