Question / Help Black screen when i try to stream PCSX2

I'm trying to stream some PS2 using PCSX2 to Twitch. I have everything set up, but when I add a window capture. All it shows is the black screen. And it says the window is minimized but I have the window up and running on my screen. I've tried every guide I can think of, but nothing seems to be working. Could it have to do with PCSX2 changing the window name constantly (the one up in the border)? It tracks the FPS of the emulator and cannot be turned off.

Would OBS be looking for a window that doesn't exist? Every time I select the window and go back to properties I have to re select the window. In fact, I think that's what it is because OBS probably Window Captures based on a window's name. The only thing I've gotten to work is Monitor Capture and running the game full screen, but I'd really like to avoid that if I could.

Any Ideas?

I found an app that will let me rename a window on the fly and and that made it work. I have no idea what's causing it. After I killed the program and brought the stream back up everything seems to be working OK.

If I have more problems with it, I may just have to change the window in the source code to a constant title, and recompile it myself.

For any others that may be having this problem, that's the 2 solutions that I find would probably work.
