Good morning.
I have the issue posted at https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/vl ... en.128307/ .
But this time isn't the vlc the program, the program is something like an vlc library base OR vlc base program. The program don't allow me to show as windows gdi video output or even change this aspect. I think the program is vlc java library based.
The display capture option from obs works fine but the problem is that i cant use it because im trying to use obs as a projection software to capture the window of the main projection software(the window with this problem) and mix it with videofeed from an videocall. One scene with only the main projection software and another scene with the main projection software and the videocamera feed.
Is possible to install another windows capture methods on obs.
I tried to use the VLC source on OBS as screencapture method too and this method can capture the screen correctly but only can capture all display and not an hidden window specific(the window behind obs projector).

VLC is written in C language with other repositories written in C++, Obj-C, and Rust. The Android version is written in Kotlin/Java, but that's not relevant here. See this link for more info: https://github.com/videolan/vlc

I just tried enabling video output to Windows GDI and there doesn't appear to be a problem there. However, perhaps you're unaware of the fact that with every configuration change vlc needs to be restarted otherwise it reverts to default.

In addition, the current version is 3.0.14 so consider updating to see if it resolves the issue. As a last resort reset prefs: https://wiki.videolan.org/VSG:ResetPrefs

But is is supposed that the configurations parses to the program?
