Question / Help Elgato not sending gameplay to OBS?

So I've set everything properly, or have I not? I've been getting the only image from my Elgato which I can easily use to capture gameplay and edit. Unfortunately with OBS I can't get it to work. I have followed the guide on Twitch to ensure all the settings are properly set-up. I am running into an issue with the source itself, or maybe even Microsoft Aero, which I have no specialization with. If someone could please guide me to fixing, would be highly appreciated.

Below is a picture of the only thing elgato sends to OBS. And YES I have tested both on 32bit and 64bit OBS, in which this picture below is of 32bit OBS.

*Keep in mind that these numbers are completely different when I hover over the (i) icon on Elgato. So I have my settings optimized for 720p, not 1080p.

I am on the PS4, and I have a splitter to bypass HDCP. I have picture on the Game Capture HD software to record gameplay. Also, I have no crashes and this is the last log:

You should be adding the Elgato as a video capture device source, not using game capture on the Elgato software.

I added the Elgato as a game capture device source. I am not an idiot, I used other streaming software before, but I'd rather use OBS due to obvious reasons and it is probably one tweak that needs to be implemented for this to work.

I'm not sure I understand your reply. I know you added the Elgato as a game capture source, I'm suggesting that you add it properly as a video capture device source instead.

to elaborate: game capture only works on actual games which are running directx. it is literally meant to capture the game program.
el-gato is an external device, similar to a webcam or other usb video device, which is why it must be added as a video capture device, not a game capture.

*facepalm* no, he's saying to NOT, add it as a game capture device source, and to add it as a VIDEO capture device source

*facepalm* I did not think I could use video capture, I thought it had to be a game capture source.


BUT

I use that setting and it says:

Here are the Video Capture Source settings:

What last setting do I have to change? I've looked at configuration on Elgato's side and I can't find anything. It seems highly unlikely that it is on OBS's side. So what now?

you cannot have el gato's capture software running the same time obs is. they are both trying to access the same device at the same time. close el gato's capture software/program
