Hello,

First post here. Thanks for making this software available. Here are my system's specs:

Gigabyte GA-990XA-UD3 Motherboard V1.1
AMD FX-8350
8GB DDR3-1600 Dual Channel
VisionTek AMD HD 7870 Eyefinity 6 2GB
Samsung 840 EVO 120GB System Drive
Samsung 840 EVO 120GB Media Drive
WD Blue 500GB Storage Drive
BlackMagic Decklink Mini Recorder
Cooler Master Sileo 500 Case
Corsair CX600m PSU
Windows 8.1 Pro 64Bit w/ Update 1

Latest drivers for everything.

Just downloaded OBS yesterday to test it on this system. All other software that I have tried that can capture or access the Video/Audio inputs works with the Mini Recorder, including, but not limited to: Microsoft Expression Encoder 4 w/ SP2, BlackMagic Media Express, Dataton Watchout 5.5.1, etc.

When setting up OBS to add a Global Source, and selecting the Video Capture Device, the Mini Recorder shows up as both a WDM capture and also as the BM Video capture. I can select either, edit the properties and configure them, but when clicking OK, it never shows up in the list of Global Sources. The Mini Recorder is receiving video via SDI and the other applications can see the video. I set the Mini Recorder to the same settings in OBS as in the other software, but it just does not show up at all.

Please advise what I need to do.

Thank you for your time.

Hi, first post (as well!) and same problem (but on a Mac). "Sound Bites", would you mind explaining the fix you figured out? I'm running a Canon Vixia via HDMI to Ultrastudio Mini Recorder and then to computer via Thunderbolt. I can see and use the camera in Google Hangouts, but in OBS I can see it as options (both the camera through Video Capture Device and as the Blackmagic Device option) I've tried all the presets and messed with the manual settings a bunch, but it always just gives me a black square. Interestingly, when I first plugged it in, before I installed the latest drivers, it gave me that weird pink and green lined screen as the feed from the camera, but now it is always just black. Thanks for any help with this!
