That endpoint would return clients.html if it existed. It was probably a placeholder that never got completed.

You can parse the logs I guess... there's no other way to determine the connected clients right now.

Woudl be great to see some info, such as SMPT settings and email notifications.

@sambuev There's #2042 that will allow to see paired devices and unpair, is that what you're looking for?

If you want more information, there's currently nothing planned.

I'm gonna necrobump this issue because I think I found a way to partially do this.

I use Artemis 2 to manage my RGB and my initial idea was to develop a plugin to disable my PC rgb when Sunshine is connected to it. Looking around for a way to determine if there's a cliente connected to Sunshine I found this Issue and it seems there's no official way.

My workaround was to use windows' environment variables and sunshine's command preparations: on connect I run setx SUNSHINE_CONNECTED "true" and on disconnect I run setx SUNSHINE_CONNECTED "false".

I wrote my artemis plugin to detect changes on this env var and voila :)

I was able to detect if any clients are connected to the Sunshine server running on Windows by using Environment Variables and Powershell.

Basically I added these commands in the Configuration > General > Command Preparations:

Do command (Elevated):
powershell.exe -command "$clients = [Int][System.Environment]::GetEnvironmentVariable('SunshineConnectedClients', 'Machine'); [System.Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable('SunshineConnectedClients', $clients + 1, 'Machine');"

Undo command (Elevated):
powershell.exe -command "$clients = [Int][System.Environment]::GetEnvironmentVariable('SunshineConnectedClients', 'Machine'); [System.Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable('SunshineConnectedClients', $clients - 1, 'Machine');"

Then you can check how many clients are currently connected by checking the SunshineConnectedClients Environment Variable. I used PowerShell to check if there are any connected clients like this:
$activeSunshineClients = [Int][System.Environment]::GetEnvironmentVariable("SunshineConnectedClients", "Machine") -gt 0
