Add integration commands to query pro features availability + toggle some integration and OSD features (allows MediaMate to better configure BetterDisplay)

[waydabber]

MediaMate by @Wouter01 currently uses userDefaults but this is not really reliable due to caching issues. A more proper way should be added for interaction.

Hi @Wouter01,

what I did was add the following features to CLI (available using the notification integration method)

• proAvailable - works with the get command. Makes it possible to ask BD whether Pro features are available (this is required for OSD integration). Returns true or false (1 or 0). Useful for generally checking whether BetterDisplay is running and listening at all or not (might still be running but integration may be disabled).
• osdShowBasic - turn showing basic OSDs on/off. Use with set and get.
• osdShowCustom - turn showing custom OSDs on/off. Use with set and get.
• osdIntegrationNotification - turn sending OSD integration notifications on/off. Use with set and get.

The best practice is the following:

1. Check whether the app is running (as currently) -> if not, then things won't work.
2. Check if there is pro and integration is enabled by asking about proAvailable. If there is no response, an error might be shown that integration must be enabled. If the response is false, a notification might be shown that a Pro licence is required for BetterDisplay in order to use this feature.
3. Set osdShowBasic, osdShowCustom, osdIntegrationNotification - use set to turn them on (use on) when starting the integration and when exiting MediaMate or stopping the integration, turn them off (use off).

You are free to still use userDefaults as well especially if you want to configure BetterDisplay when it's not running or if you don't want to deal with steps 1 and 2. In this case you can simply send the set notifications (and don't wait for answer to figure out whether it succeeded) and change the userDefaults at the same time - in this case one or the other or both will do the trick to turning things on/off (if Pro is enabled and the app is running etc.).

Let me know if you have any questions. Will provide a build for testing soon!

Thanks a lot! This will probably make the integration between both apps more reliable!
