Aster Multiseat on Shield TV Gamestream (similar to steam link) and Virtual HDMI adapter
Hi, I am trying to get my pc to use Multiseat (2 users on same pc at the same time) to work on my current gamestream setup:

Currently I have 2 monitors + 1 virtual hdmi adapter:

1) Ultrawide 21:9 Acer Monitor 3440x1440 (ports available: 1 x HDMI, 1 x DP1.4) and on connected to DP1.4 on GTX 1080

2) Old LG 1080 TV ( ports available: 1 x HDMI) connected to HDMI on Intel Graphics because i need the hdmi port on GTX 1080 to connect to Virtual HDMI adapter.

3) The Virtual HDMI adapter connected to HDMI on GTX1080 (this is so that i can gamestream to this adapter without needing to on my monitors)

Gigabyte GTX 1080 Xtreme Standard mode (ports available: 1 x Dual-link DVI-D, 3 x DP1.4, 1 x HDMI 2.0b)

On board Intel Graphics (ports available: 1 x HDMI 1.4b,1 x DisplayPort 1.2)


The plan now I am hoping to achieve is to use Aster Multiseat so that my wife can use my pc (on browsing or excel, not gaming) with both monitors working, and I can still gamestream with the virtual hdmi adapter.

From that I understand, I need to create another admin user on my pc. Currently i let it auto login to my windows account so that i can gamestream easily (without needing to on monitor, sign in, and off monitor again).

Questions:

1) So what is the best way of connection to get everything working?

2) Can Aster work on multiscreen setup?

3) I understand that Aster needs to different source of graphics card (either intel or discrete card ) for different users. Do i need to make an extra connection of HDMI to the Acer Monitor from Intel Graphics (with an hdmi to display port adater since the hdmi on intel graphic is used to connect to intel graphic)?

4) Since I need to create another admin user and set password (no more autologin) to get aster to work, is there anyway i can get into gamestream without turning on monitors to login first?

5) With aster setup done, can I switch between pc and tv gaming easily?

Thank you for your time.
