Question / Help cannot pull specified windows in to record:

Stretch

New Member
So OBS will not pull in the feed from my monitor, or from a couple of different windows..... I've tried all kinds of different things to fix it. I have cross checked my setting and anything else i could think of.

I am running on windows 8.1 and i have a NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX graphics card.
I don't know if that would cause a problem, but it isn't working for me.

Here is the log from my last use as i was trying to get it to work for me:

I have already tried the thing suggested with the recording a black screen, and it did not work... (nvidia GPU)
I hope you guys can help me figure out what i need to do to get it to work.
 
https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/laptop-black-screen-when-capturing-read-here-first.5965/

try what this says, as for your program that is trying to capture your phone, not sure about that source. have you found articles from that software's site that show you how to get that source working? that is where I would go.
but follow the guide above and try and capture a standard game first and once thats working trouble shoot that software. you might have two things wrong is what I'm getting at.
 
I already did that..... that's the problem.... and it's not just the window that is pulling my cellphone over. I can't even get a monitor capture.... different windows like file explorer and internet browsers work, but for some reason it won't do a monitor capture or any other capture on a live window...
