Hey guys!

I am running 17.0.0.77 x64 and when I add a local capture input with Chrome as the source I simply get a black screen. Up until a few days ago this was working fine. Obviously there may have been an update with my Nvidia drivers etc, but I can't find any obvious source of the issue.

I am open to any ideas, or any diagnostics I can look at to get a better feel for the issue.

Thanks!

Ken

They just updated the Desktop capture. Maybe try this version and see if you still have problems.

Edit: But since you are using the local capture this may not be the cause...

You're right, the latest Google Chrome update seems to have prevented local desktop capture from capturing the window directly.
As a workaround you could capture the entire display instead, use firefox or use the web browser input until I can work out what they might have changed.

Just as a side note, desktop capture seems to fail if I fullscreen Chrome or Edge. after a few frames the capture stops and freezes. If I do NOT fullscreen the video player (usually Youtube) then capture seems to run normally.
