Bug Report Window capturing gives black screen after reconnect onJustin

[LeonhartGR]

Greeting to the programmers and thank you for your amazing work! I'm using Justin.tv to stream anime series and I'm leaving it open when I'm not at home. Justin.tv is disconnecting me sometimes due to the bandwidth cap they set to non premium members. Everytime the awesome OBS reconnects the vlc window image is lost and it's only capturing the sound. The solution I found when I came back home is unticking the "software capturing" option, ticking or unticking the "capture layered windows" option (it doesn't matter if it's already ticked or unticked) and then I need to edit the scene and resize it to fit the stream window. There are so many issues in this that are really stressing me out. If that happens when I'm not home the stream stays with a black screen but sound is on.. And when I select the inner window on vlc it also shows the option tabs in the full interface not just the video inside the window. This has led into me losing many viewers since they find it really frustrating so if you come up with any solutions I would be really grateful!

Are you playing a playlist where the VLC window title will be constantly changing?

Set VLC to OpenGL rendering and use Game Capture. Should capture more reliably.

Window is always stable. I was using game capture but when video was changing in the playlist I was experiencing a black screen again. Only time that it was happening while in window capturing was after reconnecting I'm gonna look through the opengl thing Krazy mentioned though. Thanks for all the help! Please report any other solution for me to test.

Edit: Ok! Now it's working great! I hope I don't face any issues from now on!

What about the other options like direct3d, directx, YUV output etc.?
