Describe the Bug

Hi,

I am trying to automate pin pairing between client and host with a single click

So far I have the following batch file, which does work for pairing

@echo off
curl --insecure -X POST https://%~1:47990/api/pin -u %~2:%~3 -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d "{\"pin\":\"%~4\",\"name\":\"%~5\"}"

I call this batch file as follows

"config sunshine set pin.bat" example.lan sunshine qwerty 4695 mycomputername

This work my only issue, is that to obtain the pin number, I call

moonlight.exe pair example.lan

This opens a window with the pin number graphically visible.
But I need that number to be printed on the console.

Is there a way to obtain the pin number programmatically ?

A command line interface version of the moonlight.exe pair function ?

Expected Behavior

cli version of moonlight.exe pair example.lan

This isn't the repo for moonlight.

Oops ! You are correct

I think server side pairing can be done by adding
name, cert and uuid values to the named_devices array
in the sunshine_state.json file

I'm not sure where does the UUID come from
and I still need to figure out where moonlight puts its keys
so I can generate the key for sunshine
