Question / Help Monitor Capture problem, you guys are my last hope....

[newkleaar]

Hey guys, for several days I have been trying to figure out why this is not working for me. I have yet not found any solution for this and it feels like i've pretty much tried everything in my small knowledge including using google to find someone with same problem...

Basicly I want my second monitor in my "Out of Game" Scene but it just shows up as completely black when using "Monitor Capture".
It doesnt matter if I am in a GAME or not, if I am on DESKTOP only it still wont show up. (only black screen captured)
I have tried to use window capture and that works but everytime I switch scenes or enter a fullscreen game I have to go back in properties and set it back (for example my Twitch Dashboard) this is really annoying :(


Would be super thankful if anyone could help me out with this. I am sure it has worked before, can't really tell when but I am sure I have used it sometime.

I run WINDOWS 8 and the 64bit OBS v0.613b
NOTICE: I just noticed it worked for a second when I got told to disable IGPU in my bios. However the image dissapeared once I switched scene or restarted OBS :/
heres my log:

this is strange i just did a monitor capture on all 3 of my monitors, and each work flawlessly. I dont really understand the problem you are having, but maybe try making sure obs is upto date and aswell as your gpu drivers. I am willing to skype you and help fix the problem

Yeah I am 100% sure it has worked before as I am not very new to OBS. However I have my suspections that it might be caused with Windows 8. I now have windows 8.1 64x and still no fix. Not sure if it might be caused due too Aero not being disabled inside win8. Even more weird is that during yesterdays streaming session all of a sudden the Second Monitor Capture works flawless from time to time when ive Alt-tabbed out of Fullscreen aswell Not Fullscreen games.
I very often check for new Nvidia drivers including OBS, as for now I got the latest v.0613B -64bit beta version.

I hope this is not to much for ya'll to read but I am not very good with keeping Phrases short.

Best regards,
Ray

Hm, according to the log file there was no error. I'm not entirely sure what's going on here, because if it failed, it would have reported it in the log file -- or should. I'll have to double check to make sure it's doing proper logging of any errors.
