Gamestream still works on my PC, should I move to Sunshine?
I don't have much to add, except that if you play on more than one device, adding gamestream launchpad commands for Playnite to sunshine as programs can also give you easy access to custom resolutions and all your games if you also play on devices like a Steam Deck (720p), ROG Ally(1080p), or an iPad (weird 1600p).

Playnite resetting when launched from a CMD window
I'm using a program called Gamestream Launchpad (GSLP) to open playnite from the moonlight client on steam deck. But I'm having an issue where when GSLP (which launches as a cmd window) launches playnite its somehow causing playnite to look for the library in the appdata folder (which doesn't exist) so it builds one and resets the library. I use a portable installation so the library folder and all the configs are in the directory of playnite already.

Setup Sunshine and whenever I connect to my pc it changes my resolution to 1080p and my scripts to change my resolution don't work?
Apparently, I was moving too quickly and thought you were using GameStream Launchpad as I am, which is why my paths include it.
