OBS no longer capturing my screen

Last night I updated OBS to 32.1.0, and since then my screen just shows up as a black void, unable to record properly. I'm on Sonoma 14.8.2 on an Apple M2 Pro chip.

After updating to 32.1 on Sonoma you probably need to re-grant screen recording permission. Go to System Settings > Privacy & Security > Screen Recording, toggle OBS off and back on, then restart OBS completely (not just close the window, right-click dock icon > Quit). If that doesn't fix it try deleting your display capture source and adding a fresh macOS Screen Capture source, the 32.1 update changed how capture is initialized and old sources sometimes don't migrate right.

just tried both of these out and it's working again! thank you so much! :]
 
Hola me pasa una situación similar, al actualizar la versión en Tahoe no hay forma. Tengo permitida la grabación y he creado una fuente nueva. Y sigue la pantalla en negro. Estoy desesperada.

Can you link to the issue or PR that had that change? I see it in the changelog, but that doesn't link to the actual edits or conversation around it. I'd like to understand it more, as screen capture continuity continues to be a problem in my setup
