First off, I'd like to say that I'm glad video playback on the stream is already a "high" priority in the list of things to be added to the streaming client. I've been working closely with Ubisoft, trying to help promote their new Free 2 Play title, Ghost Recon Online. We've been using Twitch.tv (twitch.tv/ghostrecononline and twitch.tv/communityleaders) in combination with xSplit to stream in the past, however the xSplit client really causes some performance drops (FPS and such). We need the ability to stream trailers and community videos on the stream, on xSplit we just add the videos onto a scene and set them to play when the scene loads. That way we can just transition between out game/webcam scene to the videos fairly seamlessly. Hopefully the video file playback in OBS will work just as well, if not better (everything else about OBS seems much better than xSplit).

Onto the problem I'm currently having with OBS. When I try to add my webcam as a Video Capture Device (I'm assuming that's how I'm supposed to do it?), OBS doesn't seem to "activate" the webcam. The cam doesn't turn on, and I get no output in the stream preview/stage area at all. What I've been doing in the meantime is using the Software Capture option to just capture a portion of my webcams "Quick Capture" window... Not really ideal since I need to have that window open and visible on my monitor somewhere.
I have a Logitech HD Pro Webcam C910. I've included my logs below...
If you need any more information, please let me know!
