NDI Bridge automation

An NDI Bridge executable can also be launched using the following command line arguments:

/verbose Generates extensive log entries in Windows Event Logs, with the event source labeled as "NDI Bridge."

/host Initiates Bridge in host mode.

/join Launches Bridge in join mode.

/local Starts Bridge in local mode.

/autorun Minimizes Bridge window upon startup.

/noui Suppresses the display of any user interface elements and prevents the creation of a taskbar icon.

For example, you can use /local /autorun to initiate the Bridge in local mode and minimize it. Similarly, /local /noui will start the Bridge in local mode without any user interface. If you use /autostart without specifying /host, /join, or /local, the Bridge will start in the last selected mode.

It's important to note that Bridge will not start with these flags if there is a configuration error, such as an invalid IP address for the remote address in the join mode while attempting to auto-start join.

If you prefer to configure Bridge using a configuration file, you can find the settings in AppData\Local\NDI\Application.NDI.Bridge.UI\bridge_settings.json.

Most setting names are self-explanatory, except for "selected_tab," which serves as an index field to indicate the last selected tab (mode) the user used (0 = host, 1 = join, 2 = local).

All settings for each mode are present in the same file, so you may need to adjust your logic to target the correct settings for the appropriate mode (e.g., "host_model," "local_model," "join_model").
