Morning,

I downloaded the software this morning and set it up according to the guides on the forums however I only see black. I have tried my webcam, monitor, and capturing the game window to no avail. I have tried streaming my webcam (modern logitech webcam), various games (D3, LoL, Tomb Raider - all in fullscreen windowed), and even just my desktop/google chrome. I also have this issue when I try to do a local recording.

Any ideas?

Do you think you could post your log? http://obsproject.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=97

Also can you post your capture hook log from the pluginData folder too?

Sure thing: (something I noticed just now, the audio from hulu is being picked up when I preview my stream)

You have to add something to your scene. Right click the sources box and say Add to add a capture source to your scene.

The only option I have in regards to adding anything is to add a scene. Once there I can enter a name however I am unable to select any sources for the scene.

Here are the options I have (this is with a game and webcam global source set up):
