Will this work if the pc is not the current input displayed on the TV / Monitor?

I was having a similar issue. Using with a vizio tv to see if it was on or not. The thing that seemed to make it work was bumping up the 'How long to check' parameter. I am not sure what is optimal but I think I just set it at 2 seconds and it seemed to be rock solid.

Assuming it runs as fast as EG, I may ...

Either sounds good - even without a UI - we can develop the setup / config on windows. Doesn't anyone else have a desire to deploy EG on cheap hardware? Perhaps I'm the only one?

But, it could be that either is trek down a long road of pain...

Probably not the right place to ask....

does eventghost run on Windows 10 IOT core on raspberry pi?

Great work Pako

I had no output either - perhaps they may be seeing similar issues as I saw:

I couldn't get a registration email sent to two different hotmail accounts (tried spam folders)
