Streaming Troubles

    I've recently started trying to do a little streaming with games and I'm working with OBS and I've kinda got an idea what I'm doing but I'm not sure if I'm missing a workaround or if this game is simply not viewed as a game by OBS. When I click to add it as a game it's just black on the screen, though the audio gets picked up, and when I look at the source it says its javaw, which makes me think it won't work. If I was doing a let's play it wouldn't even remotely matter cuz I could just keep the game on screen, but since I run it in OBS as a window whenever I click somewhere else (like the chat) that shows up over the game. Anyone know if there is a work around or do I just need to keep the chat off to the side?

      I'm a little confused by your question, but do you have (at least) two monitors? It's almost a necessity for streaming, as you really need the screen space. I was unable to get programs to pick up LI as well, though I don't use OBS. I think it's because it's not rendered with direct3d or opengl. I've captured/streamed LI no problem by using screen region, as you've mentioned. It really just sounds like you don't have enough screen space.

        I have a tv but I haven't ever got it working with both, I guess I shoulda thought of just using it though since this monitor is like 1/3rd the size.

          Might be this. You can force it to render with OpenGL (or Direct3D) if you're not afraid to delve down to the command line. Try this:

          Code:
          java -Dsun.java2d.opengl=True -Xms768m -Xmx2048m -jar lennasinception.jar
          If you're on Windows, java is sometimes not already on your %PATH%, so you might need to do something like:

          Code:
          "C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin\java.exe" -Dsun.java2d.opengl=True -Xms768m -Xmx2048m -jar lennasinception.jar
          If that works for you, I'll consider making this default.

            It's less that I'm afraid to do those things and more that I have no clue how to do them. :/

              Which operating system are you on?

              EDIT: Actually, I'll PM you directly.
