# Intel PresentMon Integration

This directory is used to store the Intel PresentMon DLL for enhanced Intel GPU monitoring in Recodarr.

Intel PresentMon provides detailed GPU performance metrics for Intel graphics hardware, including:

• GPU utilization percentage
• GPU memory usage (used/total)
• GPU temperature
• GPU power consumption
• More accurate metrics than generic system information tools

1. Visit the Intel PresentMon GitHub repository: https://github.com/GameTechDev/PresentMon
2. Download the latest release for Windows
3. Extract the archive and locate PresentMonAPI2.dll (usually in the application directory)
4. Copy PresentMonAPI2.dll to this directory (src/resources/presentmon/)

1. Clone the Intel PresentMon repository
2. Follow the build instructions in their README
3. Build the DLL for x64 Windows
4. Copy the resulting PresentMonAPI2.dll to this directory

Intel PresentMon typically includes several DLL files:

• PresentMonAPI2.dll - Main API DLL (THIS IS THE ONE YOU NEED)
• Intel-PresentMon.dll - Provider-specific DLL (not needed for this integration)
• Other supporting DLLs

Use PresentMonAPI2.dll from the application directory of the Intel PresentMon distribution.

When PresentMonAPI2.dll is present:

• The application will automatically initialize Intel PresentMon during startup
• Intel GPU monitoring will use PresentMon for enhanced metrics
• Fallback to systeminformation library if PresentMon fails

When PresentMonAPI2.dll is not present:

• The application will use the standard systeminformation library
• Intel GPU monitoring will use basic system APIs
• A log message will indicate PresentMon is not available

For distribution builds, the DLL will be bundled in the resources/presentmon/ directory of the packaged application.

Intel PresentMon is licensed under the MIT License. Make sure to comply with Intel's licensing terms when distributing the DLL with your application.

• Ensure the DLL is the correct architecture (x64)
• Check Windows Event Logs for DLL loading errors
• Verify all dependencies are available
• Make sure you're using PresentMonAPI2.dll and not other DLLs

• Check console logs for PresentMon initialization errors
• Verify Intel GPU drivers are installed and up to date
• Ensure the Intel GPU is the selected monitoring target

• PresentMon polling runs every 2 seconds by default
• Monitor CPU usage to ensure polling isn't too frequent
• Check for memory leaks in long-running sessions

The integration is implemented in:

• src/electron/intelPresentMon.ts - PresentMon wrapper
• src/electron/systemUtils.ts - Integration with system monitoring

Function signatures and structures may need adjustment based on the actual PresentMon API version you're using.
