Question / Help OBS not recognizing second camera when running (URGENT)!!!

[JEG]

I asked for a crashlog and told you how to post it, yet you keep posting regular/usage logs from OBS. Why are you not following the directions I gave you?

Please post a crashlog if you want help on resolving your crashing issue.

I apologize; I thought those were crash logs. I went to the place you told me and found nothing there.

Okay, nothing there means that technically OBS isn't crashing...
I know, that sounds weird, but it's true. It also gives us more info.

Please plug in all your devices like you have/had them setup. Then get USBView from https://obsproject.com/downloads/usbview.zip to identify which hubs your devices are connected to. Post a screenshot the results.

Here's the screenshot of USBView

Okay...

I see only your 2 webcams, no Elgato or other devices. As per my 2nd post in this thread you need to move all your 'heavy' USB devices to their own Root Hub. So that means your C615 should be on a different Root Hub then your C920 (which isn't the case from the screenshots you posted).

When you plug your Elgato back in, make sure it's not sharing a root hub with either of the webcams.

A couple of tips:

1.Ideally (though certainly not a requirement), you would have Webcams+Elgato on USB2.0 root hubs, and bundle all the non-heavy devices (like the Keyboard, mouse, Tablet, and mic) to their own root hub.

2. A guide for getting the most out of your webcam - http://obsproject.com/forum/threads/getting-the-most-out-of-your-webcam.1036/

The Yeti microphone is in there. I honestly don't know why the Elgato isn't; it loads perfectly fine whenever I use it. It's also an internal one, not the external

Ah, the Internal one is PCIe(xpress), not USB.

Tried posting about this before: I have two different cameras hooked up to OBS. Two different models of Logitech camera, the c920 and the c615. I've had previous issues with OBS not recognizing one of the two cameras, but at a point it started to work normally, recognizing both.

Now, I am having the same issue all over again. One camera goes unrecognized, and then when I try to remove and re-add the OBS program continually crashes. This time, however, when I try to restart OBS it claims to still be running, and in Task Manager it will not let me end the process.

THIS IS URGENT. I need this problem fixed IMMEDIATELY and do not have time to wait around. I posted about this issue over two months ago and never got a response. Please help me fix this.

OK so the other guy is so far up his own zone of importance the thread literally got lost. The resolution is simple; each webcam needs its own USB port. Each port on your laptop or PC can have a hub but only one webcam Within that hub to work in OBS. Hope u got this answer before now, clearly from someone who knows the answer and not just posturing for an argument.
In anticipation of the other guy moaning, away n cut your pizza with a protractor.

Jeg, happy YouTubing.
