Question / Help Video Capture Device: directdraw devices not showing

[MobCam]

Hi,

I am trying to view the video from a DirectDraw capturing device on my Windows 10 machine. The problem is that the capturing device does not show up in the list of capturing devices. Only my notebook's webcam is in the list. I tried this with the 32 and 64 bit version of OBS Studio and also on another machine.

I can see the DirectShow device in other applications (for instance in VLC). I already checked the logs but they containing nothing about "DirectDraw". Do DirectDraw devices have to offer specific functionality to be shown in OBS Studio?

Regards,

I think that the two "DecodeDeviceId failed" messages come from the two direct show inputs which do not show up.
