Capturing Attract Mode video with OBS
« on: June 02, 2015, 07:30:18 PM »
I use OBS (https://obsproject.com/) to do capturing of AM, and recently I've noticed issues trying to record video. I can't seem to record AM in Window, Fill Screen or Fullscreen mode - I just get a white screen.

I'm pretty sure I was able to in the past, but I don't know if it's a newer version of OBS or AM that might be causing issues. But I can capture a whole monitor and the AM window content shows up.

I'm not sure if this is just an OBS bug or not - AM uses SMFL right? So in Windows is it just OpenGL or does it use DirectDraw/Direct3D?? Why might it capture with the window when capturing the full monitor, but not a window or with full screen?

Yes Attract-Mode uses SFML, which uses OpenGL.

There is no way it would be using DirectDraw/Direct3D, but it might be using some funky legacy version of OpenGL...
