Question / Help Black video output

Master

I've got OBS compiled and running on Debian Jessie. I can see the preview of my screen just fine, but when the recording starts the file is very small (in the KBs). The video has the correct length of the recording, but it's entirely black, with no audio. The preview shows the correct window / display though.

Here is my hastebin log: http://hastebin.com/ipowoconux.sm

Had same issue earlier, but ,

$ sudo apt-get purge ffmpeg obstudio && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install --reinstall obs-studio ffmpeg

resolved the problem in my case. So try yourself if it works.

Both ffmpeg and obstudio are compiled from source, since Debian repos won't have them. So what you recommended won't do anything.

Can you try changing downscaling filter to something else like bicubic 32 samples instead of 16?

Settings >> Video >> Downscaling Filter.

Hope this helps!

Hmm, just tried it. Same results, the video is black. Is there any other debug/log information that could be useful to diagnosing this?
