Greetings,
I am setting up a remote observatory for live streaming solar video to YouTube. I'm trying to get this camera (ZWO ASI120MM) to work with OBS, but I don't think the directshow options in OBS are able to properly detect and initialize the camera. It is a standard CMOS webcam sensor MT9M034 in an astronomy package. The manufacturer includes directshow drivers to use as a standard webcam. I have other software that properly reads from the camera as a directshow device using colorspace "mono8". The OBS log file states that the configuration fails and doesn't seem to give any details other than "could not get closest video media type". I'm guessing it is the colorspace hanging things up.
Here is the manufacturer's site with links to their drivers and the SDK if the devs can work something out as far as determining the problem (feel free to say, "I don't know what you are smokin', but we don't have time for this shit!"):

OBS Log:

Key log info:
DShow: Could not get closest video media type
23:15:05.218: ZWO Solar DirectShow: Video configuration failed
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
