Hey guys, I've looked around for help on this issue, but I can't get any sources to start a stream!

PC INFO:
OS: Win 8.1 x64
CPU: 4690K
RAM: 8GB
GPU: 760 4GB

When I set up the settings with what Twitch suggested, I thought I was ready to go. I have to be missing a huge step. So after setting up the basics, I looked at my 'Scenes' and saw 'Scene 1' then looked and saw no sources...

My thinking is I didn't set up the 'Global Sources' section, so I went into there. Clicked on 'Add' and from there I tried 'Window Capture'. The 'Window Capture' Settings Window popped up and I pretty much left things alone, made sure that my game (Dark Souls II) was running in windowed mode and refeshed, there it was. Fixed! But no.... Thinking that maybe I'd change some options, I still didn't have any sucess. So I went back in and tried the next option, then the next, then the next. I changed all options under each type of source I could create. I have yet to get any sources.

So a quick run down:

-Set up all settings via Twitch's guide
-I never had any 'Sources' after I initially set up the settings via Twitch
-I tried all types of 'Global Sources'
-I changed all settings under each type of 'Global Sources', in multiple different combinations
-I tried running as Administrator
-I tried running my games in Windowed/Borderless/Fullscreen with no avail
-I've reset all settings to default
-I've unistalled and reinstalled OBS
-Played with Plugins... although I could only 'Configure' 'Per-Scene Volume Plugin'
-Streams to Twitch fine, just a black screen and not what I am doing

I don't have sources, and no one seems to have the same problem. Let me know if you need any more information.

Thanks in advance,
CB

Right click the "Sources" box (not global sources) and say Add.

Global sources are sources that stay loaded between scene changes. Most sources probably shouldn't be global sources.

I have the same problem but even when I right click the sources box and then add dark souls 2 I still stream a black screen :(

(Also have this problem while trying to stream smite)

See the "laptop black screen" thread at the top of the forum. Next time please make your own thread rather than hijacking one from an unrelated issue.
