Question / Help Cannot get video feed from capture device (Insufficient system resources)

[Cindres]

EDIT: After a couple of days of trying things I finally have something of a solution, naturally it comes only half an hour after I caved in and made a thread.
The "Solution", as it were, is to open OBS, unplug the device, plug it back in and then deactivate->activate. Hopefully I find something more permanent but if anyone finds their way here with the same issue, that's done it for me.

Hi all,
Been experiencing an issue where I can't get any video from my USB composite capture card in OBS Studio.

I can get it if I use the deprecated app, I can also get it no problem if I use either of the tools provided with it (ArcSoft ShowBiz and honestech VHS to DVD)
That capture device is this one: https://www.augustint.com/en/productmsg-90-124.html

I believe the issue is to do with the output in the log:
DShow: Run failed (0x800705AA): Insufficient system resources exist to complete the requested service.

As you may see from the logs I'm running as admin, turned off all the Windows 10 game features. I can however, get the audio input from the device along with my webcam feed.

Thanks in advance!

As you may see from the logs I'm running as admin, turned off all the Windows 10 game features.

18:21:23.646: Windows Version: 10.0 Build 17134 (revision: 766; 64-bit)

No you haven't. That version of Windows has Game Mode on by default and it cannot be deactivated except by registry editing.

You have these features off:

18:21:23.646: Windows 10 Gaming Features:
18:21:23.646: Game Bar: Off
18:21:23.646: Game DVR: Off
18:21:23.646: Game DVR Background Recording: Off

But the important one, Game Mode, is on by default.

That said, it is probably not causing your issue. Given that this is a USB 2.0 capture device I'd guess they simply haven't provided an updated driver, and something about that driver is not working well with OBS. Are you able to choose resolutions/framerates while editing capture device properties in OBS?

 

[Cindres]

I am able to change the resolution while editing the properties. As per my edit I was able to get it working but I have to plug it in while OBS is open, then deactivate/activate (wondering if this is letting OBS get a lock on the device before something else, e.g. game mode, can)

Game Mode won't access a video capture device. What it does is reserve GPU capacity for another application, reducing performance for those doing local capture of demanding applications. It's not related to your issue, I just mentioned it since you talked about the gaming features.

 

[Cindres]

Ah okay, I'll probably leave that one alone then. I had a similar issue when I tried XSplit as I was trying to get to the bottom of this where XSplit explicitly said something else was using it, what that would have been though I have no idea.

If you opened up XSplit while OBS was still running, then XSplit would have been unable to access the video device. Video device driver access is generally exclusive.
