Had to change a bunch to get everything to work but it should be working now

 This is the only DEM task needed. The script handles all config file deployment, folder creation, and launching both OBS and the tray icon. It will exit cleanly (code 1) if any required project file is inaccessible, or exit 0 if OBS is already running.

 ## Notes
 
-### Scene Collection JSON
+### VDI Compatibility
 
-The `obs-config/scenes/ITMonitor.json` file was generated to target monitor index `0` (primary display). If it does not capture correctly on first use:
+This tool is designed for VDI environments running without a physical GPU (e.g. Microsoft Basic Render Driver):
 
-1. Launch OBS normally on a test machine
-2. Manually configure a Display Capture source pointed at the primary monitor
-3. Save, then copy `%APPDATA%\obs-studio\basic\scenes\ITMonitor.json` back into this repo
+- **Video encoder:** x264 (software) is used explicitly — hardware encoders (NVENC, QSV, AMF) are not available on most VDI machines
+- **Display capture:** compatibility mode (BitBlt) is used instead of DXGI or WGC, which do not work reliably on virtual displays
+- **Monitor ID:** the startup script uses `EnumDisplayDevices` with `EDD_GET_DEVICE_INTERFACE_NAME` to detect the active session's display device path at logon — this handles RDP/VDI sessions where the display UID varies per user or session
+
+### WebSocket Settings
+
+OBS 29+ stores WebSocket server settings in `global.ini` under `[OBSWebSocket]`, not in a separate `plugin_config` JSON file. The `global.ini` in this repo includes the WebSocket configuration directly:
+
+```ini
+[OBSWebSocket]
+FirstLoad=false
+ServerEnabled=true
+ServerPort=4455
+AlertsEnabled=false
+AuthRequired=false
+```
