Bug Report Monitor 0 display flakey

[Dave Wilson]

Hey Guys. So for MANY versions now I've constantly had problems with my main display actually showing up. I have a source set as Display 0 which is 1920 x 1080. 90% of the time, when launching OBS, this source shows as just black. Up until the last update I could often just switch scenes a couple times and it would come back, but now it seems only restarting OBS at least once is the only way to fix it. Also, sometimes, switching scenes will cause it to go black again and I have to stop streaming, reload OBS until it works, then restart the stream...I got frustrated enough that I went out and bought Gameshow but that is frustrating for different reasons.

I've uploaded my most recent log file that experienced the issue. Any insight would be welcome. Also, yes, I have tried to recreate the source object but nothing changes.

You have multiple display capture sources, the monitor can only be capture by one source at a time.

K, but it DOES work...I just have to mess with it...So why does it EVENTUALLY work but not always...How can I ensure it ALWAYS works?

Make sure there is only 1 display capture source for every monitor.

I didn't even know I could put more than one source. I don't even know what you're suggesting here.

Your log shows that you are using three different display capture sources across your scenes, named "Monitor 1", "Display Capture", and "Display Capture 1". If they are all set to capture the same monitor, you need to remove two of them and replace them with the remaining one, using "Add Existing".

I had something along the lines of this problem. My computer has two graphics cards, a GTX and an integrated. The integrated runs the display. I went into device manager and uninstalled the integrated graphics card driver.I rebooted twice, and OBS was finally showing a screen with display manager when I opened it back up.
