Línea de trabajo

The license check is tied to Sunshine's startup and the Web UI troubleshooting refresh, which the payload does not name by file. Start by finding where the virtualhid license validation runs at startup and where the Web UI refresh calls into it. Done would mean a failed check caused by network unavailability is retried in the background or on client connect, while a truly invalid license still disables gamepads. Expect a design decision on retry policy before coding.

Describe the Bug

Sunshine validates the virtualhid (libvirtualhid) gamepad license only once, at startup.
When Sunshine starts at boot (as a service) before the network is available, the check
fails and every gamepad driver stays disabled for the whole session. The license is never
re-validated once the network comes up.

To get gamepads back I have to log in manually, open the Web UI
(Troubleshooting → virtualhid license) and refresh the validation, or restart the service.

Expected Behavior

Gamepads should work after a normal boot, without any manual action, as long as the
license is valid.

In particular:

  • A failed check caused by the license server being unreachable (no network, DNS not
    ready, timeout) should not be treated the same as a license that is actually invalid.
  • In that case Sunshine should retry the validation automatically: periodically in the
    background until it succeeds, and/or when a client connects.
