Question / Help Can I display capture Sling TV, using its Windows app , in OBS?

[michaellinder]

All the OBS screen shows is the Sling TV's name and navigation arrows. The bulk of the screen where programs and movies are playing in the app, is black. Can I not record from the Sling app?

And dear god, please smite and slay OBS for requiring us to use CAPTCHA when registering for this forum. And if you've got time, nail them with some plagues, a ****load of locusts, some Third Reich SS zombies, and toss in a couple of famines. Amen.

I would love to know the answer to this question also. When Sling starts playing any video, the screen capture simply records a black screen, both in the preview and final version. I cannot even take a screenshot of the video being played. How is Sling preventing this? And is there anyway around it?

This is probably due to drm built into the app. OBS isn't a means to work around drm.
