Question / Help Sources became invisible

[Slamx]

Hi everyone,

I was working on an advanced scene that had a lot of monitor capture sources. I was using preview and it began lagging a bit, so I relaunched the application and tested it on stream. As soon as I did this, the monitor captures that working seconds before all became 100% transparent, except for 1 that had a color key. I tested with adding color keys to the invisible sources, but to no avail.

What can I do see the sources again?

Here was part of the scene before the issue.

You said color key was on? Why not try disabling color key?

I disabled the color key on the one source that was using it, that source remained visible, however the other sources are still transparent. I think I am going to recreate the setup in a new scene with the same monitor capture locations. I'd still like to know what caused this issue tho, so that I won't run into it on the second time around.

Ok, after trying to rebuild the scene, it appears that OBS is now only allowing me to use 1 monitor capture per scene.

What could be causing that?

Windows 8 only allows one monitor capture. If you need to use it more than once use it as a global source.

Thank you Jim, I will try that out.
