So I have a few scenes all with the same USB capture source but only the scene I have selected when I start up OBS is seen. So if I have Scene 1 selected and then close OBS and open it I can see the capture on Scene 1 but not Scene 2, Scene 3, ect. So then I can select Scene 2, shutdown OBS, and on opening OBS I can see the capture on Scene 2 but when I select Scene 1 again it isn't visible.
OBS version: 23.2.1
Linux: Linux Mint 19.1
Capture Device: Magewell USB Capture Plus
Any other info needed on my setup? Do I need to update something or downgrade something? I just got my capture device today and although it works, and I installed Magewell's software so I can change settings, I can't get it working well enough with OBS.
EDIT: Just saw a thread on the V4L2 plugin and it works on OBS and VLC. However, it seems only one program can use it at a time, so if OBS is running I can't open it on VLC. Is this the problem with OBS? Like one Scene on OBS is using it so none of the others can? Once I apply a crop filter does that Scene 'take control' of the device? If so is there any 'refresh' option on OBS?
What I was thinking of doing for a work around was open the video capture device on VLC and just do a window capture of it for each scene. Kinda a crappy work around but if that is what I need to do then I guess that is what I need to do.
