cool, happen to have an M2 Ultra handy so will take a peek

From my testing my M2 Max macbook does it fine, so assumed it'd at least match on the Ultra

Welcome to the OBS community support channel. If you have a question, go ahead and ask it, and if someone is available to help they'll respond. Try to be detailed, and provide a log if you are having issues with streaming/recording (Help -> Log Files -> Upload Current Log). Please be patient if someone doesn't respond right away!

Screen capture function does not work

When adding a frame with screen capture, a limited number of windows are available in tabs. All of them are either black or duplicate the desktop image without files, shortcuts and interface.

Please tell me what could be the problem?

OBS Studio requires permissions from macOS to provide certain features. To grant them:

1. click on the OBS Studio menu → Review App Permissions
2. enable each of the permissions using the buttons on the right-hand side

  • (a) click on OK/Allow for the microphone and camera prompts
  • (b) grant Screen Recording and Accessibility permissions in System Preferences/Settings
    3. restart OBS Studio

For more information, see the macOS Permissions Guide

white ember
#

The problem is that I provided all the necessary permissions (or so I think).

#

доступ предоставлен - access granted

#

I really count on the community's help or support. We have been struggling with this problem for two months now. We looked for information on the Internet, read guides, and contacted experienced regional users. Everyone, everywhere, shrugs. The only hope left is for the officials) Unfortunately, at the moment it is possible to use the software only as a recording of a presentation prepared in advance in the form of a jpeg with an overlay of camera capture. We are unable to work with screen and mouse sharing due to an unknown error.

Noteworthy: on a machine with an old Intel chip, everything works correctly with exactly the same settings. I think the problem is in M1.

If OBS Studio reports that it does not have system permissions but they do show up in System Preferences/Settings, follow these steps to fully reset permissions for OBS Studio.

  1. Quit OBS Studio and System Preferences/Settings
  2. Open the Terminal app (located in /Applications/Utilities)
  3. Copy-paste this command then press Return: sudo tccutil reset All com.obsproject.obs-studio
  4. Type in your user password then press Return. Nothing will appear on screen while you do this.
  5. Open OBS Studio again, then set your permissions straight away in OBS the OBS Studio menu → Review App Permissions

Also, make sure you have only one copy of OBS Studio installed in /Applications. Multiple copies of the application causes issues with properly setting permissions.

you're supposed to use a browser source

white ember
#

People! Well, has anyone really encountered a similar problem? On Windows everything works as it should. On a Mac on Intel everything works as it should. On Mac on M1 - does not work. How to solve?

viral walrus
#

I'm unsure of what you're trying to capture as I can only read english myself, but seeing the source you have selected shows some kind of window I don't know what that is, I use Mac OS Screen Capture for everything which works fine, but I also believe M1 and Intel would have different settings, although I've only ever used OBS on M1.

white ember

"some kind of window" - its desctop

in the screenshot you can see what options I have in screen capture

#

At the same time, I'll show you how many apps I actually have open on my Mac at the moment.

#

And none of them are selectable in OBS

#

I don't understand why and I'm already losing hope

forest axle
#

that's not macOS screen capture

viral walrus
forest axle
#

that's a deprecated source, window capture, in the "deprecated" folder

#

i'm not sure how macOS screen capture is translated in your localization, but you're looking for this source @white ember

#

you can, with macOS screen capture

#

it seems like the russian translation took the "macOS" part out of that name

white ember
# forest axle it seems like the russian translation took the "macOS" part out of that name

It looks like it.
I think I've figured it out.
The problem is that window capture and screen capture are fundamentally different things.
In order to show a window, I don't need to switch from the obs interface to the desired window. I just need to open it inside obs itself and manage it directly in obs.
In the case of video capture, I will have to make a swipe on the desired screen, thereby losing the obs interface.
Or am I missing something?

forest axle
#

i'm not sure what you mean by the last two sentences

#

macOS screen capture has three modes. in the display capture mode, you can hide OBS from being captured, so you still have its interface available without being displayed

#

the window capture and application capture modes allow you to yes, only select some number of applications or windows to capture

white ember
forest axle
white ember
#

Oh thats the problem) I have no this)

#

If I had these options, I would of course figure it out and not ask these stupid questions...

#

I have no method...

#

No method - no honey

forest axle
#

haha. that's ok. i arrived in the middle of this issue, so i didn't ask the most important question first, which is "what macOS version are you on?"

#

it looks like you're on big sur, so macOS screen capture isn't available

#

which means you should update macOS

white ember
#

me: big sur
my wife: sonoma

forest axle
#

lol

#

i assume that's correct and you're on big sur?

#

or monterey?

white ember
#

looks like it. There is a possibility that my wife updated not so long ago, after OBS tests, and the problem is real. in that. more tests need to be done

forest axle
#

if your macOS is up to date, you will have no issue finding macOS screen capture. and since you're on m1, you should definitely update

white ember
nimble vortex
#

interesting new find myself, prores is untouchable. 4k120hz, even managed 5x 1440p60 without overload. Very weird...

forest axle
#

yeah that's more in line with what one should expect from that chip

nimble vortex
#

Apple support said to basically return it as they have no idea doggolul

forest axle
#

it seems like a platform issue, i imagine all m2 ultras are susceptible. could be introduced by a macOS update or could have just been there. hard to know without full information from apple's side. it sounds like they are looking into it and i would *imagine* it's fixable, at least just given the chip's capabilities, so the question is mostly whether you want to wait for that or not

#

i think there is a number for it, FB119279824? you might be able to use that to inquire via feedback assistant about the status? @west cypress is that correct?

nimble vortex
#

Yeah I'll have a debate in my head for the next week or so, cool machine but obviously not yet doing what I'm looking for... think I've tested all angles I can figure out for now 😄

Assuming you've already gone ahead and deleted OBS from your system I think a restart should fix that.

#

However that still appearing there even without OBS running is a known bug IIRC.

pseudo warren
#

Restart the computer or download obs again and delete it?

#

Restarting should remove it however it can and will return getting stuck like that.

according to the log, you're starting recording with a hotkey

i'd recommend checking your hotkeys

looks like output is starting up fine, it just can't be started up multiple times

I dont even know where those are, its my first time using this

it was starting to record but then it stops and throws that error a few seconds later

itll give me like 9 seconds

forest axle
#

it would be under settings->hotkeys

blissful onyx
#

looks like my space bar was set to record

forest axle
#

that would do it

blissful onyx
#

but what would make this error pop up? I just updated mac OS to the newest version just now and it still does it

forest axle
#

according to your logs, there aren't any issues starting output, so i'm guessing that error was popping up if your hotkey was starting and stopping output too quickly

Sorry for the noob question, terms are too generic and having a hard time finding info. Is it possible to push video (rtmp) to obs? I have some cameras running streamlabs and would like to push the data from the cameras direct to a running instance of obs as an input. Or am I thinking about this incorrectly and should have some other rtmp server running on the same machine and just point obs to localhost to pull those streams off?

Hi, so I am a sports broadcaster for my school and I use NDI to feed the hockey video feed cameras from their broadcasting control room using 1 mac to my main mac in the press box which is where I do all my broadcasting with the graphics and overlays, etc. This place has 3 rinks with other multiple games going on so there is a good amount of traffic over the ethernet as they are all broadcasted. When I have the NDI too high it lags and it still hitches when it is still on the lowest but it is smoother. Also I have the NDI on the lowest latency so it syncs with the direct arena audio capture with my voice but it still has a 2-3 second delay from the audio. Any tips or help is appreciated for work arounds. Here is the stream I did for reference. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V3wohn8mz5Q&t=891s

stray yacht
#

NDI needs a lot of network resources

#

in a LAN i don't expect packet loss, so that might be an option

#

the youtube video is also bad in video.... stutterting a lot

#

i'd recommend to use H265 compression as you're on a mac... 8MBit brings very good quality in a 1080p60 video

#

even old intel cpu macs support h265 encoding and decoding

shy yew
#

I feel this question has been asked already, if not within this weekend. But i'm having an issue with screen capture where after 10-15min of recording i get an error that there is no available disk space. I currently have my Output routed to a 4Tb external SSD. The mkv file that is stored before this error can still be remuxed. Please let me know what additional detail or screenshots could be helpful.

scenic cedar
#

1080p60 is more for gaming

scenic cedar
#

but my old mac that was on the capture hard NDIing the video to my main is a 2015 13 inch which is dual core

stray yacht
scenic cedar
#

i also can use my 2012 15 inch which is quad core and has a GT 650M but the cpu is pre AVX

scenic cedar
#

vdo.ninja is lighter but would it have lag?

stray yacht
#

NDI needs about 50MBIt(s , vdo with compression about 8MBit and it's fully synchronous

scenic cedar
#

so this will help a lot on making my broadcasting better

#

how is the delay

#

ik there is always delay

#

but less than 1 sec would be so much better

#

over 3 seconds

stray yacht
#

delay with vdo peer2peer is about some ms

#

20-40ms

scenic cedar
#

ill take that over 3 seconds

stray yacht
#

as i said... quite similar to NDI

scenic cedar
# stray yacht as i said... quite similar to NDI

thanks so the computer that captures the camera has its own scoreboard which looks like crap so i crop it off so i am still using OBS to capture card it and crop it off and instead of NDI or streaming it will just be a virtual camera being used that sends it to the vdo.ninja

stray yacht
#

yes

scenic cedar
#

is there something wrong im doing

#

or just its too underpowered

#

i own a couple 15 inch macbook pros that are quad core but are older

stray yacht
#

vdo.ninja is browser based so you have to be sure you use hardware encoding and decoding in browser

scenic cedar
#

lemme turn it on

#

oh its turned on

#

ima try safari over brave browser

#

cuz safari is lighter

stray yacht
#

i think safari always tries to use hardware accel by default

scenic cedar
#

i thought the hardware was too weak

#

i mean my 2015 13 inch isnt a crappy base model i have a nicer one

#

it isnt the i7 version

stray yacht
#

no... the old intel macs support h265 hw encoding

scenic cedar
#

but its the higher end mid tier 2.9ghz i5 over the base 2.7 ghz

#

and mine has 16gb of ram over 8gb

#

and i upgraded the stock 256gb ssd to a samsung 980 PRO 512gb

#

its a nice computer just sucks no quad core in 13 inch models until 2018

stray yacht
#

i sometimes do it on an old i5 macbook air

#

4GB RAM

#

still works like a charm

scenic cedar
#

my quad core macs are ancient

#

but my 2012 15 inch is a charm to have

#

2.3ghz quad core i7 16gb ram GT 650M 512mb GDDR5

#

samsung 1TB 860evo

#

and i removed the dvd drive for a 2nd hard drive bracket

#

and i have just a 1tb hdd

#

as extra storage

#

and it also has the nicer high res antiglare screen

#

and none of my old intels can support macos sonoma but there is a community run project called opencore legacy patcher that lets you patch the newest macos sonoma on macs as old as 2007

and i don't need NDI to do the playout

get the signal from satellite via conventional satellite receiver, do the biss decoding, open as media source in obs, do the deinterlacing, make overlay and stream via rtmp or whip to server

# plucky zenith you mean having them in different tracks in the recorded file?

They could go onto different recorded tracks, or they could be combined into 1 (preferred), but what I'm really trying to do is to make sure I have two different sources of audio. Source 1: being my rode mic for my voice. Source 2: being the audio directly from zoom (instead of the zoom person's voice coming out of the speakers of my computer and then entering the rode mic). Make sense? When the audio comes out of the speakers and into the rode mic it is a. too low in volume and b. creates a loop (which I solved by adding a few faction of a second delay in the settings of OBS). But really, the issue is that it isn't loud enough to hear the person speaking on zoom.

Hey everyone! I seriously need help with the new update. After i updated obs and mac, I can no longer open up obs without it immediatley crashing. I did uninstall and reinstall but then it started doing the samething again. Any help would be appreciated.

When i unistalled I also deleted everything under library.

If you're having crashes with 30.0.1

There is a problem with 30.0.1 that caused OBS to crash on launch. Go to https://obsproject.com/download to download 30.0.2, which fixes this issue.

For high-quality, no fuss recordings, use the recording quality presets in Simple Mode:

  1. In OBS Settings → Output, set the Output Mode to Simple
  2. In the Recording section, choose Indistinguishable Quality as the Recording Quality
  3. Set your Video Encoder to a hardware encoder, if available

you can readd the media sources for those files

Hello,

When I try to record, an error message appears stating: "There is not enough disk space to continue recording." I want to emphasize that I've checked the available space on my disk, and it is more than sufficient. I've also cleared the caches and performed all necessary updates on my Mac, but the issue persists.

To address this problem, I replaced version 30.0.2 with version 30.0.0, and I no longer encountered this problem. This leads me to believe that the issue is specific to the recent update.

I would appreciate it if you could look into this problem and provide a solution in upcoming updates.

I'm having issues with the audio on my stream being delayed and I think it is because of my OBS settings. I am a newer OBS user and also a newer streamer. I have screen shots of my audio settings if that may help. Tried posting in #audio-support OBS 30.0.0 MacBook Pro (2020)

I record on my NAS server, which is an external volume. If I use an internal volume, it displays the storage correctly.

forest axle
#

hmm

#

is your NAS backed up with time machine?

tacit coral
#

Yes, but on another volume of my NAS. I have multiple volumes on my NAS, and I back up my Mac on a different volume of my NAS.

forest axle
#

sorry just to make sure i'm not misunderstanding, i mean is the volume you're trying to record onto itself backed up with time machine? not your macOS volume but your recording volume

tacit coral
forest axle
#

hmm ok, does it occur with *any* networked volume?

tacit coral
#

I only have the NAS on the network; I cannot test with another volume. :/

forest axle
#

roger that

plucky zenith
#

but does it do that on every volume of the nas?

tacit coral
#

In the meantime, I will use version 30.0.0.

forest axle
#

there were indeed changes to how OBS calculates disk space on macOS between 30 and 30.0.2, and it seems like this may possibly have broken space reporting for networked volumes. will have to be looked into

#

but also yes, if you can check another volume on the NAS and see if they all report 0 mb free, that would be useful

#

thanks for the report in any case

tacit coral
#

So yes, on the NAS, I have other volumes, and they all exhibit the same behavior.

Thank you for your prompt response.

it seems to me, that the virtual camera is outputting 1920x1080 16:9 video even though my canvas is 9:16

#

testing that site now

forest axle
#

i think you're correct, and the mac virtual camera extension always creates a 1920x1080 device

plucky zenith
boreal pecan
plucky zenith
#

oh ouki

forest axle
#

what i'm not sure is if it does that because that's a macOS limitation, or if OBS could provide other resolutions

forest axle
boreal pecan
#

in VDO.ninja there is a setting that lets you re-adjust the aspect ratio, so that's the output you were seeing earlier -- when i first load up the virtual cam on the site -- its 16:9

plucky zenith
forest axle
#

again i just don't know if this is because macOS won't let you do something else, or if OBS could provide canvas res

plucky zenith
#

could try changing those, compiling and seeing if shit fucks up

boreal pecan
#

it used to be fine on previous OBS versions 29.1 etc. -- the recent version 30 introduced this change

plucky zenith
forest axle
#

cc @pearl yacht do you know why the mac virtualcam always does 1920x1080? is it allowed to change it or no? didn't see anything obvious in the docs

pearl yacht
#

it's hardcoded to 1920x1080 because I couldn't figure out how to expose different possible resolutions to the subsystem

boreal pecan
#

based on the github link shared it looks like the aspect ratio is hardcoded in OBS

forest axle
#

that's what i linked up there if you scroll :p

forest axle
pearl yacht
#

in theory something could be exposed via providerProperties in the provider source, but as I said I couldn't figure it out

#

you'd also have to add all the plumbing to rescale the sample buffers and react to config changes and all

#

usually a device uses the "best" resolution internally and macOS then rescales/resizes implicitly

boreal pecan
#

the vertical virtual cam worked well in 29.1 for me -- maybe there is a way to take reference from what was implemented back in that version

pearl yacht
#

the whole thing about selecting specific resolutions is not well supported and actually creates more issues

plucky zenith
pearl yacht
#

yep there's no way to use that

#

we effectively shared an output texture directly with the virtual cam and the target process had to load it into its process space, which is why apple removed that

plucky zenith
#

(and if you're wondering why it had to be changed, because the way it was done stopped working in macos 14)

pearl yacht
#

in theory one might only need to provide different output formats for the host application to select

plucky zenith
#

but for that to work with any arbitrary resolution, that'd need providing a format for any resolution obs might support or am I misunderstanding?

pearl yacht
#

not necessarily

#

in theory if we provide a samplebuffers of a specific resolution, those should arrive unchanged in the target application

#

my hunch is that many applications don't implement that however and go by "device property" instead, which is wrong, but alas..

plucky zenith
#

tbh, I'd say that even ifyou don't implement vcam of any arbitrary resolution, there's probs a strong usecase for allowing to switch between 1920x1080 and 1080x1920

#

maybe just as a toggle in the vcam properties or smth like that

pearl yacht
#

as I said, that should be no issue

#

if you send a samplebuffer of 1080x1920, then that's what the camera should forward

#

but if the target app just sees "device has 1920x1080" and doesn't inspect the actual buffer dimensions, that won't work

#

device resolution is not equal to what an app gets as a sample buffer, that is more or less dynamic

#

you can set the device to 320x240 and might still get a 1920x1080p sample buffer

#

CMIO works in mysterious ways sometimes

plucky zenith
#

and you cannot dynamically change the device resolution?

pearl yacht
#

you can, but it won't change the resolution that you get from CMIO

#

sometimes it might, but it requires very specific order of setting up your capture session

#

and if you use AVCaptureVideoPreviewLayer you're not even diving that deep into the device settings

plucky zenith
#

ouki, am quite out of my depth, but basically even if you limit the usecase to sending two possible resolutions instead of any arbitrary ones, it does not simplify the issue that much?

pearl yacht
#

correct, because what you send is not what the target app will see or get

#

you can send 1080x1920 and under some circumstances the app will get pillarboxed 1920x1080

#

regardless of what the app might select

plucky zenith
#

oh ouki

#

yeah, sounds delightful to work with

pearl yacht
#

and if you set the activeformat to - say - 720x1080, you might still get pillarboxed 1920x1080

#

the only way to avoid that is to never set a session preset for your capture session but only set the activeformat

#

the moment you select a prefix, device format and output format are more or less disconnected

#

and that's not for us to implement, but Zoom, Discord, etc.

plucky zenith
#

ouki

pearl yacht
#

it's worth testing though, I haven't done anything specific to the extension

#

looks better in Xcode ofc but that's the target audience for those details

#

aaand a typo on the first line how deeply embarrassing

broken vector
#

When ever i switch to a my other scene collection OBS stops responding, any ideas why it would do this? I have to most updated OBS

neon lily
#

That may be because the other scene collection has a lot of things to load

#

The more scenes and sources, the longer it takes to load — which may look like a lock-up if it takes a while to complete

boreal pecan
pearl yacht
#

there is nothing to fix

#

if someone wants to figure out how to make other applications aware of different aspect ratios or some such then their PR would be welcome - I currently have no idea if that would even be possible

boreal pecan
#

got it, maybe i'm misunderstanding the issue -- is this behavior with the virtual camera due to OBS? MacOS? or the way VDO.Ninja is built?

@nimble vortex Just following up, sat down with an M2 Ultra to try and reproduce your issue with the dropped frames. Tried the settings from your shared logs, see 3/5391 (0.1%) skipped frames due to encoding lag, so nothing like what you were seeing.

I can see all the AVE cores are lighting up and doing work too as expected.

You reported 2314/2839 (81.5%). Not sure whats going on difference wise between the configs, this was a clean fresh install of macOS 14.1.2 + OBS 30.0.0, so maybe take a look at additional software you might have installed?

MacBook Pro M2 Max manages the task with no dropped frames at all was the confusing part to me!

To help resolve your issue, we need to view a log file from a fresh launch of OBS Studio containing an output session. Follow these instructions to upload a clean log file:

  1. Restart OBS Studio first!
  2. Start your stream/recording replicating any issues (meaning having any games/apps open and captured, etc.)
  3. Stop your stream/recording after 30 seconds or after the issue has occurred
  4. Click the Help menu → Log Files → Upload Current Log File
  5. Paste the URL into this Discord channel

but my cpu is maxed and I;m using x264 encofing so how does a GPU maxed make any sense?

forest axle
#

you did not stop output before uploading the log

#

can you stop all output and then upload the log again?

#

it seems like you have output set up through a plugin, and that plugin isn't using hardware encoding. if your machine is doing other cpu-intensive things it's very possible you could hit overload with x264 in that case

#

but without the complete log we won't know for sure if that's the source of the dropped frames

I will give this a try

#

give me a moment

pearl yacht
#

at least Quicktime is fully reactive

#

facetime is not 😄

#

but that seems to be because facetime uses a fixed aspect ratio

#

Cameo works fine as well - so it looks like the virtual camera will use the resolution of the actual sample buffer we provide in the output, no additional tricks needed

Hello everyone. I have a question. I use OBS to create documentation video's for all kind of things and since I upgraded my MAC last night I noticed something strange. Normally when I have a recording running of a window and I quickly switch to a different window to lookup something the windows all move to tiles and I can select a different window, but the recording keeps recording the selected window and all is fine. But now I suddenly see that the recording get black or get distorted and it looks like it looses connection to the recorded app window until there are no tiles anymore and all windows have settled in their previous positions on the screen.

#

The window that I'm recording can then be in the background, this is not an issue, als long as I don't minimize it because then the whole recording stops as if the application stops when minimized.

#

I have a MacBook Pro M1 Max and the OS is now Sonoma 14.2.

forest axle

#

Sure, but I have to make one that I can bring outside our company. One moment.

Hello everyone, I am running into some issues with my audio in OBS. I am currently using macOS Sonoma 14.1.2 and have the latest version of OBS. My trouble is that I am trying to capture audio from a DAW (Ableton) when I play my MIDI keyboard, and for some reason, no matter what I try, no audio is being picked up from my desktop, or any other source I set it to. I have tried methods like using the macOS MIDI package from the forums and that is now outdated/will not work in this version of OBS anymore. I also tried using the software from Black Hole to create a custom multi-media audio channel, as I found some guides on how to use that for this issue. Neither of these solutions have worked so I decided to join this Discord in hopes someone has had this problem before and can help. Thank you!

hybrid cliff
hybrid cliff
forest axle
#

and are those macOS screen capture window captures?

hybrid cliff
#

Method "Window Capture" and then I select a Google Chrome window in this case that has a youtube video running.

#

In the past tiling my windows would not effect the running recording.

forest axle
#

i don't know if i understand the complete picture here. are the windows tiled before you switch to a different window? or are they becoming tiled when you switch? and how are you switching to a different window? exposé or something else?

hybrid cliff
#

I just go with my mouse to the corner of the screen, which I have configured to tile my running windows and then I select a different window that I need at that moment.

#

All the time the recording of the window that I was recording would continu without any interference.

forest axle
#

ok. i haven't any experience with tiled windows myself, but in any case if this changed with 14.2 then it's a macOS regression and you'll have to file a feedback with apple

#

OBS is just using the captures that it gets from the underlying API, and if the behavior of those captures change, it's because something in macOS changed

pearl yacht
#

works fine here

#

except if you mean the capture during expose

#

also if you do app expose (only an app's windows) you'll get the sharing icon as a separate "window"

hybrid cliff
#

I don't know what you mean by expose, but if this is the tiled state, then this is where it is failing in my setup.

pearl yacht
#

that's exposé - the younglings call it "Mission Control"

hybrid cliff
#

Ah, yes indeed That is when in OBS it looses the window it is recording.

#

I think I'm to old for either one of those terms.

pearl yacht
#

ok, yeah when you do it for all windows, then it actually moves out of OBS into the place inside mission control

#

as if it's the same texture

#

similarly when you run mission control only for the app's windows, it vanishes

hybrid cliff
#

This all worked fine before the update to 14.2.

forest axle
#

window captures do remain stable during expose on 14.1.2, can confirm that

#

s/expose/mission control

pearl yacht
#

it works like before if the window is on another space

hybrid cliff
#

Ok. Then I'm not crazy at least. Nice to know 🙂

pearl yacht
#

did SCK capture windows on other screens in 14.1.2 already?

hybrid cliff
#

Don't think so.

forest axle
#

you mean non-visible ones in other spaces?

pearl yacht
#

yeah in general in other spaces, because it usually didn't render them

#

so SCK capture was still

#

seems to capture now in 14.2

forest axle
#

if it's visible it should always capture. 14 was supposed to keep updating captures if they weren't visible in other spaces from release

hybrid cliff
#

Here the capture on an other space is a still.

pearl yacht
#

ah ok, so not a regression just to enable that

forest axle
#

from reading here, it seems like up from 14.0 through 14.1.2, the answer was "usually" captures would continue updating when not visible in other spaces

hybrid cliff
#

Can I enable rendering on secondary screens?

#

Or spaces.

#

What ever you call them.

pearl yacht
#

yeah you can create a new space and move it over there

#

if you then do mission control, it will not change in capture

#

as long as you do mission control on the other space

#

just click the plus icon in the top right of mission control

hybrid cliff
#

But on that other space rendering stops completely when I move away from that space.

pearl yacht
#

not in my testing

forest axle
#

what application?

#

it varies by application in my experience

pearl yacht
#

have quicktime running in a second space and capture it fine

hybrid cliff
#

Google-Chrome.

pearl yacht
#

right, if the application itself stops rendering then you won't get any output

hybrid cliff
#

That makes sence.

forest axle
#

usually if the app stops rendering though its because macOS told it to, no?

glossy night
# fading hare

@forest axle hey, I forgot to mention actually already have the VB cable and Black hole

pearl yacht
#

ah yeah chromium doesn't render

#

or more correctly, it stops a few seconds after switching the space

#

Safari keeps rendering

#

so that's probably chrome trying to save energy or something

forest axle
#

on my machine on 14.1.2, safari keeps rendering IF the mouse cursor is moving

#

but not if it isn't

pearl yacht
#

works fine here

forest axle
#

which OS?

pearl yacht
#

14.2

forest axle
#

well

#

in any case, clearly there have been changes

pearl yacht
#

you win some, you loose some

#

but I'd still report the texture sharing with mission control as a bug

#

oh wait

#

their own capture demo code is not affected

#

wtf

#

ah now it is

#

cursed

#

the first time I switch from desktop capture to window capture, it dutifully stays within the capture app's output, but after I changed the window, the bug occurs

hybrid cliff
#

So we all agree it is a bug on the Apple side of things?

forest axle
#

for some definition of bug. it's certainly a regression. how they would classify it is anyone's guess

glossy night
#

Hi yam

#

I will wait

hybrid cliff
#

Would it make sence if the OBS developers file a bug with Apple to see if they can get it fixed?

pearl yacht
#

but given that it's easily reproduced using their CaptureSample you can provide easy reproduction steps

#

Now what can we do?

#

Hm this is troubling

forest axle
forest axle
#

i'm not sure exactly what is doing output, is it the multi rtmp plugin?

#

if that has output options, you need to set it to use a hardware encoder rather than ffmpeg or x264

#

should be something like "apple hardware VT h264"

sage swan
#

Yes it is multi

#

Ok I'll give that a try. I have my recordings using that

forest axle
#

be warned that the base m1 only has one hardware encoder, so it can't be used for too much. you may need to set your recording encoder settings to same as stream to avoid having two simultaneous encoder sessions

#

and i'm not sure how that works with multi rtmp

sage swan
#

Ok that makes sense

#

Main stream and record using x264 and 2nd stream using h264 harware

forest axle
#

given that you don't have that much lag, hopefully that configuration works for you, yeah
