Question / Help VLC Black Screen problems

Hey Guys.

To put this out there now: I searched via Google and Via search Function in this forum for over a toal of 2 hours. And the only thing that almost helped me was Nosferatus Plugin, but it has no audio support, therefore basically useless for me.

I need to be able to stream certain League Openers provided by Leagues. Naturally I wanted to do it via VLC, since it is for me the easiest player to handle.

I tried multiple ways of setting it up (Software Capture, Window Capture), but everytime I only get a black preview window. The audio is there on my stream. I run VLC in Fullscreen.

I had a similar problem with the Game Capture, but setting OBS to open with the nvida graphic card instead of the secondary intel card fixed the black screen there. (Game and OBS have to be running on Nvida).

Doing this with VLC doesnt fix the issue... I'd really appreciate some input.

P.S.: Its really shameful that I have to ask this: How do I post a log file? :/ I couldnt find the location, search function didnt help me either. Might be my lack of hitting the right key words though.

Best Regards

Sorry for the hasty first post. So what I just realized once I found out how to get the logs by digging through OBS itself is that I used to run OBS as I said with specified graphic card (by rightclicking application and then selecting NVIDA).

That fixed Dota but appearently screws with VLC!!!

When I do start OBS normally the VLC works. Basically I now have to chose between running OBS with NVIDIA card but not having VLC or other way around.

Obviously not what I want.

Here are the logs. Help would be appreciated. Want to stop using Xsplit :-/

Not sure if it is the log you guys would need, I used the last one where I just trial and errored the VLC Dota problem.

Can you run VLC on the nVidia card too? It should be in your nVidia Control Center.

So, you might be right, it could be simply that VLC is not runnable with the NVIDIA Graphics.

I tried adding the program to the default nvidia list, also changed the default graphics to nvidia, however, VLC cannot be run with nvidia graphics? :surprised:

The area to select nvidia instead of on board intel graphics stays grey.

Help? :o)
