Hello,
I'm not sure what happened but in the past week (maybe after updating to the latest version?) OBS I noticed is no longer able to record streaming videos played in my browsers UNLESS it is the main active window being used. I'm not sure why this is as it did so previously without incident. I have it set to "window capture" and am selecting either firefox or chrome as the source. (I would use browser capture but for some reason OBS is not recognizing chrome and firefox when I use them so I cannot select them when selectign to record browser I have to select them using window capsture) Previously it would not allow me to minimize the window or it would stop recording but at least it would still record will allowing me to use other active windows as long as I kept the browser windows being recorded maximized even if it was not active and upfront. Now if I do anything else OBS goes black screen (or in some cases white screen for some sites) when tryign to grab either firefox or chrome. I've tried with multiple different sites and it seems to be on every site now for both firefox and chrome. I tried the suggested fix on youtube for chrome which is to disable hardware acceleration in chrome but that did not work. Is anyone still able to use another window while still being able to record streaming video in a background browser video? Also tried the options "same executable" but that didn't help matters. Oddly when I mouse over my bottom taskbar in windows as if by magic the video will start recording again as if nothing happened but as soon as I move the mouse away from my taskbar is black screens unless I click on that specific browser and then it restart normal recording again. I can't for the life of me figure this problem out. Do I have to acvtively be using the window now in order to record it? Anyone have suggestions or an explanation as to why this is? Any help appreciated!
