Help Needed Adding Web Source

[purebeatradio]

Hi all. Newbie to using OBS on my Twitch page and so far love using the software:)

I have one question that hopefully someone can help with. On my OBS, I have my webcam as source, but are looking to also add a web source onto the bottom of the screen to show my radio stations current song playing titles via a embedded player.

My issue is, when I add the web source to OBS and try and overlay it on top of webcam source or anywhere on the screen, I dont see anything:(. Its just blank.

My Twitch page is: https://www.twitch.tv/purebeatradio

The web source I want to add is: https://players.rcast.net/lunabar/62954

I hope the above makes sense:)

Any help given is much appreciated.....Thanks in advance....Russ

Not my area of expertise, but until someone more knowledgeable responds
1. not all web sources are coded as well as another. ie, that source could be the issue (I didn't look)
2. There are 2 primary ways to use a web page as a source.

1. One is to use your browser of choice, do a window capture, possibly/probably cropping that window
2. the other is to use the OBS Browser

I recommend testing with both approaches to see which works for you, and use less resources (RAM, CPU cycles, etc) and is more stable/reliable

Have you tried using Edge, and some other web page as a cropped source? to make sure you know how, the browser and OBS Studio playing well together (there are LOTS of optional settings/configs for a browser, some of which don't play nice with a capture tool like OBS Studio)

Hi Lawrence, many thanks for getting back. I did try this out, ie window capture, but its still showing as blank when I add it to my OBS
