Question / Help Capture Pandora Desktop app?

[MrWongBurger]

Can't seem to get this to capture without a black screen, Any ideas?

What's pandora? Could you include a log file so I can see your system specs and operating system version information?

 

[MrWongBurger]

Pandora is internet radio. Im using the Pandora Desktop App that uses Adobe air. I try to add it to my stream but it only shows a black screen when added to my stream. Im running 8.1

Ive seen another streamer run it just fine so im not sure what im doing wrong.

Ah, adobe air, I think I've heard of problems with it in the past. Try window capture with "compatibility mode" enabled in its settings, or if that fails and you're on windows 7, try disabling aero. Otherwise, if you're on windows 8, try using monitor capture, it should capture it otherwise.

 

[MrWongBurger]

Yeah works fine with Monitor Capture but doesn't work with Window Capture which is what i wanna use

 

[MrWongBurger]

Any other work around?

Cool thanks ive seen that, Odd thing is that it works fine with Xsplit but not with this.

It should work fine in OBS, too. The program actually doesn't use OBS or Xsplit directly, it just outputs data to a text file. You should be able to add that text file to OBS as normal.

 

[MrWongBurger]

Im talking about Capturing Pandora One. Xsplit does this no problem but OBS doesn't.

 

[dodgepong]

I wouldn't be surprised if Xsplit is basically just using a cropped Monitor capture equivalent rather than what OBS does for Window capture. Pandora One is rendering in a way that Window capture can't be used on it, unfortunately. You'll have to use Monitor capture and probably use screen region on the parts you want to capture. So blame Pandora for that.

Im using Window Capture/Capture Layered window with xsplit. I have to use a second monitor with Monitor capture/Region for OBS

 

[Krazy]

Window Capture in OBS has a Captured Layered Windows option, does that not work?

 

[BigCoffeeGaming]

Yes use the "Capture Layered Windows" option in Window Capture. I have done this and have no problems getting Pandora to show up on my stream.

 

[BigCoffeeGaming]

Well I say that, but I just tested it out and now I can't get it to work. But I have had it work in the past. Hmmm.

EDIT: You MUST have the Disable Aero option checked in the Video section of settings to have Pandora show up.

Also have Capture Layered Windows checked in your sources option.

 

[Krazy]

Oh, right, forgot to mention that. Capture Layered Windows doesn't actually do anything with Aero enabled.

 

[MrWongBurger]

Yup i already tried Capture Layered Windows. I don't think you can disable aero in Windows 8.1 as the option is greyed out.
