Trouble capturing Remarkable 2 Screenshare: window content does not update

Hello there,
I'm having troubles trying to capture Remarkable 2 Screen Share window with OBS: I'm using the "Capture Window" source and while I can find the Screen Share window to select, I can only get a static image preview of it's contents. In fact the preview into obs remains static no matter what changes occour in the original window.

I'm using OBS 30.0.2, can anybody please help me with this?

Another strange thing I noticed while attempting (again) ti capture Screen Share window through OBS: Even if I have Win10 on my PC I have to select "BltBlt" Acquisition Method to see the static preview of the window, if I pick "Windows 10" it shows nothing.
Moreover, even if the window content does not get updated on OBS if I check the "Capture Mouse Pointer" option, I can see the mouse pointer hovering over the static preview
It seems like OBS manages to get just the first image instead of a contiuous stream as it should...

No it's not just you, Saladriel. Been pretty frustrated as it used to work just fine. I am capturing Screen 2 now and it works well- but uses up my Screen 2 which I used to use to share a slide show. I liked it better when it just captured the ReMarkable Screen Share without me having to see it. Dang... maybe it'll come back.

So I'm not alone
Today I installed the new update of the Remarkable Windows App hoping it was it's fault and it being fixed, but sadly nothing changed

Got a chance to snap a screenshot of what happens: as you can see the preview in the OBS window is not aligned with what it is seen in the Screenshare app (Yes, my plan is to use it for oldschool dungeon crawling YT videos with realtime hand mapping)

Here it is a screenshot of the Source properties. While doing this test it even shows just a black bar at the bottom, while the screenshare window is perfectly visible on the second screen
