[Issue]: Video decoder crashed when using 90/120fps above 1080p
Describe the bug
I am using sunshine as the host on a monitor that is 1440p HDR enabled 180hz refresh rate. I am streaming to my android tv running Moonlight. My tv is Sony XH9505 which is 120hz capable. When trying to use 120fps in moonlight 1440p it crashes saying Video decoder crashed. Make sure Geforce now is updated to the latest version.
1440p 60 fps works fine. 1080p 120fps also works fine. Seeing how I don't know how to get logs from an android tv or anything I don't really know what to do or what is wrong. Any ideas? Tried h264 as well but no dice.
Same happens on 90fps btw.
I've tried pre release and stable sunshine versions.
Steps to reproduce
Select a higher fps than 60 and a resolution above 1080p

I am having a similar issue 1080p and 1440p work on pixel 9 pro XL. But when trying and fps above 60 it won't work.
1440p and 120fps works fine on Windows for moonlight and the same host. Using sunshine
Same here. Android 15 Pixel 7 Pro. Max I can set is 1440/60 otherwise anything above that it'll crash back to the PC apps menu and logcat *:E shows nothing and logcat shows only some moonlight-commom-c error nothing related to the decoder. Funny thing is I enabled multiple stream on Sunshine so I started another Linux moonlight first so Sunshine actually cap the FPS at 144 then the phone happily works under 2K144 despite setting at 2K60 and working.
setting my phone to full resolution fixed the issue for me. see related thread

I compiled from source and fixed the hide notch non-fullscreen resolution setting problem, along side with this problem not even showing up... Not sure which patch solved it. #1437
