I can't stream games with lower resolution than my original which is 1920:1080. On desktop it works just fine but when I enter a game with a resolution lower than 1920:1080, let's say 1024:768 (4:3), the picture is just black. But if I go to desktop I can see it again. If I change the resolution to my original (1920:1080) I can see the ingame picture, but I want to play on 4:3 1024:768. I think it worked before but now it doesn't, can anyone help?

Ah, if the games run on 1024x768, you would have to set your avermedia to accept this input. Probably using the custom resolution option in the source properties.
I would just create a second scene in obs. And add the capture card to this as well, configured for 1024x786 resolution.
On the first scene you keep it on 1920x1080. Now you just gotta switch the scene when you start a game with 1024x786 resolution. (You can set a Hotkey to each of the scenes, to switch to it)

If the input source resolution changes, you just get a black screen in OBS. I have the same problem when capturing PS3, because OBS does not refresh the capture device on resolution change. The PS3 dashboard runs at 1080p but most games are 720p. As soon as you start the game, the OBS screen goes black.
One suggestion I had on here was to change the PS3 display settings to only output 1080p (and SD which you can't disable) so that it would always run at 1080p. I tried this, but the PS3 won't upscale games so instead of running 720p games at 1080p it runs them in SD (576p). The only way I know to do it is create a scene for each resolution that you expect the capture card to need to be capable of, eg a 1920x1080 scene for desktop, a 1024x768 scene for your game, and just switch manually when you start the game.

If it doesn't upscale the games anyway, why wouldn't you configure 720p as your single resolution instead of 1080p?
