Question / Help EZcap video capture device fails when I open chrome

[Avolate]

I am trying to get my EZcap to stream FPV video from my quadcopter. I had this working on my computer last year but I am having a problem now.

I can get OBS to stream from the EZcap and I can see live video from my FPV camera but as soon as I open chrome and go back it crashes. I cant get video until i restart my computer.

I used to be able to use chrome before so I dont know what changed. I would stream on twitch sometimes but now when I open chrome its crashing the EZcap video feed. I tried to uninstall and reinstall drivers for the EZcap and I tried to update to the new version of the OBS studio but I have the same behavior.

It works fine till I open chrome and then in OBS the video freezes.

I have attached a log file to this post. Maybe somebody knows why chrome is conflicting?

It seems your device supports sending only one data stream at a time. If you have OBS running and the device configured, it occupies this stream. If you try to connect to the device with Chrome, you're requesting a second stream, so the device seems to terminate the first (from OBS) and serves the new request (from Chrome). If you don't intend to request a stream with Chrome, check every tab if you have some unseen request still lingering.

I tried turning off some video streaming programs and shutting down tabs but no luck. There is a roku streaming stick connected to a TV in the house. I get a cast button on my chrome browser maybe that is it? Dunno.

If I have chrome minimized and I open up OBS I can get the EZcap to work till I switch to chrome and then switch back to obs. Then the video capture freezes.
