Bug Report Issue with Game Capture Plugin - LoL

Hello everyone, I am having an issue with the Game Capture plugin streaming League of Legends. The issue is that when I get in to a game the screen just stays black and it seems as OBS isn't detecting that the game window has opened. If I restart the stream, it does show up but I don't want to have to restart the stream for every game that I get into. That is also the reason I think that it's just not detecting the game window. I can also remove the game capture from the sources, re-add it and it will show up. This is also very annoying to have to do for each game. I have recently tried to capture the window in borderless mode with inner and outer window and the exact same thing has happened. I made sure OBS and LoL are both up to date.

Edit: I forgot to mention that this method did work perfectly before I had stopped playing LoL (about a month or so ago).

Quick runthrough:
Out of game window works fine.
In game window only shows a black screen.
Tried multiple ways to get around it.
If I restart stream it does show up but not wanting to do that for every game.
Everything up to date.

Thanks to anyone that reads and can help.

Apparently league of legends had some update recently and this started happening since that point. I'm trying to figure out what's going on and hopefully figure out how to solve the problem if I can

Try the test build, on the download page. 0.63b test 3, see if it's working there.

Did you try the test build Donald8274? I am asking because I have the same issue. After some games (can be 2 or 20) all of a sudden the game isn't recorded anymore. Removing and adding the gamecapture again does not work. Only option is to shut down the stream, restart OBS and start the stream again. This while losing allot viewers which is quite annoying.

Edit: I got a update for OBS this morning and installed it. Does it include all the improvements from the test builds? I did get the same error after the update.

This is happening to me as well, straight after installing the OBS updates. I do run the scene switcher plugin in case that might have anything to do with it, but I've not had this problem before today. Tried it with the latest downloadable build as well.

Make sure you only use game capture on League of Legends™, not the patcher or launcher / lobby. Those need window capture.

It just uses the client. As a matter of fact I am using it on spectating games but i guess its the same client.

I actually tested the new code quite extensively with League since it's one of the more annoying games and I didn't encounter any issues. Posting a log from after the problem starts might help.

Same issue happened again today. Got the logfile and uploaded it to pastebin: http://pastebin.com/mkwp4FgJ

around 11:45 i noticed the stream wasnt showing the contents of the League of Legends client. It had been working for quite a while as you can see in the logfile. As mentioned above sometimes it happens after a couple of games and sometimes it takes a long time. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Just to check I deleted and redid my scenes and sources before this test - still got the black screen the moment I hit the LoL loading screen and after I exited the game it wouldn't return to the windowed mode for the patcher.
