Question / Help OBS not recognized by Justin.tv

Hello,

I'm having an odd problem with streaming to Justin.tv with OBS. I downloaded the latest version (0.612 beta) today, and set it up following the tutorial provided by Justin.tv. After following their instructions, including entering my stream key, I was able to successfully record from several locations (windows, monitors, games) with OBS, and on viewing, the recordings appeared just fine, with video and audio perfectly intact. However, on trying to broadcast to my Justin.tv channel, I am given a "Camera Not Found" error claiming that a "known-good video source" is not coming from my computer. I've changed the settings recommended by OBS and Justin.tv such as a keyframe interval of 2 and the x264 encoding profile of main, but I'm entirely lost as to what the issue could be. Is there any more information I'd need to provide to facilitate help?

The log file revealed nothing that could be causing a total failure to broadcast. It said it would be low-quality, yes, but given that I'd be at most streaming to a couple of friends, I'm totally unconcerned with low quality.

Are you trying to start your stream via the Justin.tv website or something? Don't do that. Just click the Start Streaming button in OBS.

Ah, I see the problem now. I was clicking the "Start Broadcasting" button just as you recommended all along, but unfortunately didn't realize that that page wouldn't actually show me the stream. Thanks for your help.
