I just tried to capture my game with OBS and it doesn't work properly:
I add either a captured window or a game to the OBS scene. When I select the game as source, I see its content in the mini preview of the selection window, but the main preview remains black. I recorded it to be sure and the video file is also only black. Other windows still work. I also tried all three modes "how to find the window by name" in the selection with and without multi-adapter compatibility.
Both OBS and Ren'Py are up to date, I just checked. It's also not only my game run out of Ren'Py, but also another game that I downloaded.
Ren'Py not working with OBS? (solved, for now)

Re: Ren'Py not working with OBS?
No idea, but I have streamed more than one Ren'Py game using Gameshow. Maybe try downloading that to test?
A Close Shave:
*Last Thing Done (Aug 17): Finished coding emotions and camera for 4/10 main labels.
*Currently Doing: Coding of emotions and camera for the labels--On 5/10
*First Next thing to do: Code in all CG and special animation stuff
*Next Next thing to do: Set up film animation
*Other Thing to Do: Do SFX and Score (maybe think about eye blinks?) Check out My Clock Cookbook Recipe: http://lemmasoft.renai.us/forums/viewto ... 51&t=21978

Re: Ren'Py not working with OBS?
Gameshow crashes on startup with an exception
OBS has the same issue with the Ren'Py launcher it seems...

Re: Ren'Py not working with OBS?
I just recently streamed Romance Detective with Gameshow on my Mac and didn't have any issue. So maybe there is something else going on?

Re: Ren'Py not working with OBS?
I tried around a little more and got OBS to ... hm, hard to desrcibe. This is the source selection screen:
See how the OBS window is recorded OVER the Ren'Py game? And it's not live either. It's like there's a screenshot taken that is just used instead of a live image.

Re: Ren'Py not working with OBS?
I'd suggest reporting this to the OBS developers. Ren'Py is using relatively standard ways of displaying graphics, and it's the responsibility of a screencasting program to be able to deal with those methods.

Re: Ren'Py not working with OBS?
I have no idea what I did, but as soon as I entered the OBS support chat, it worked. Really, I literally changed nothing I hadn't changed about 20 tries earlier. Well, it's okay now, we'll see if it stays that way.
