Bug Report Trouble with video capture device?

[chicagofan]

Any time I try to use my capture device through OBS's "Video Capture Device" option, it goes for a couple seconds without showing anything and then OBS Crashes. It's a very consistent crash, and the most recent crash log was this:

OBS has encountered an unhandled exception and has terminated. If you are able to
reproduce this crash, please submit this crash report on the forums at
http://www.obsproject.com/ - include the contents of this crash log and the
minidump .dmp file (if available) as well as your regular OBS log files and
a description of what you were doing at the time of the crash.

This crash appears to have occured in the 'c:\program files (x86)\obs\plugins\dshowplugin.dll' module.

I suspect it might just be the capture, but I want to make sure.

What capture device are you trying to use?

 

[chicagofan]

It's just an easycap. I'm kind of skeptical about it though.

For more clarification, what happens every time is that I try to use a Capture Device (which lists itself as SMI Grabber Device, and is the reason I'm skeptical,) with OBS, leave everything as default (or not. it doesnt change the outcome, really) and confirm the settings. OBS runs for 3 seconds at most, with nothing showing up in regards to the capture device, and then crashes.

Double post to status update.

I'm not quite sure what I did, or if I even did anything, but somehow I got OBS to display the game without crashing. I did mess around with the easycap (now dubbed easycrap) a lot, and uninstalled and reinstalled numerous times, testing drivers constantly... and I had the video capture on a different scene when I got the capture card displaying in Virtualdub and trying to capture the video by Window Capturing Virtualdub. Vdub was eating up my computer's resources, though, so I started clicking around some more and I accidentally clicked on the scene with the Video Capture Device, and my game was there and OBS didn't crash.

Although, the game feed has this odd green line on the bottom of it. But I can easily just move that out of the viewing window just fine, so it's not too big of an issue.

Long story short, my easycap more than likely had the issue, rather than OBS. In any case, thank you for your time.
