Question / Help OBS doesn't like input source resolution change

I'm trying to stream PS3 with Extremecap U3 but when the game starts and the resolution changes to 720p, OBS just shows a black screen. If I preview with the Aver software it's fine, but in OBS as soon as the game starts and the resolution changes it just goes black. I forced the resolution to 1280x720 in the source properties in OBS and it works fine in the game, but as soon as I go back to the dashboard and it switches back to 1080p it's all fucked up. Clearly OBS does not like the resolution change. The problem is I want the console to run at 1080p but most games are 720p. I tested on a game which I know is 1080p and OBS does not have a problem since the resolution doesn't change.

Any solution to this?

Thanks

Two scenes, one with the capture card set to 720p, one for 1080p. Switch by hand ;(
Maybe there will be a better way in the future if Jim finds a solution to automatically refresh the capture card on resolution change. The avermedia software kinda does this probably.

Yeah thanks, I thought about creating another scene with the capture card forced to 720p. It seems a sloppy way of doing it, but I guess it's the only way. Hope this can be fixed in an upcoming version!
