Body

Im having issues streaming my main monitor, it only wants to stream my 2nd monitor. I have changed my Display id to DP-4 which is the monitor I want to use, but nothing changes streams the same monitor whether dp-4 is set or not.

I have seen bug reports of this in the past, but it appears it was fixed. However still not working for me.

I am running Linux Mint
On NVidia card.
