Can someone please help me with advice how to use show_only_on_stream or offer another way to do this?
Thanks.

Hi,

I want to clarify - when exactly do you want to display the window? (this flag is set per window).
Only in streaming? Also on captured videos?

Thanks

Only in obs. I think both in streaming and recording in obs app.

Thanks.

Hi @StormInside,

I tested it and I want to make sure that we are on the same page here: can you please tell me the exact steps to reproduce? which game I should try, if you can see the in-game window in the game but not in the capture, etc.

In addition, please reproduce the issue and attach the logs just in case.

Thanks.

Hi. So you are trying to show your app only on stream from what I understand. And not on your screen while you are playing. Please correct me if I’m wrong.

And moreover - you are talking about OBS.

In that case - Have you played with the setWindowObsStreamingMode() function ? It looks that is what you are looking for (set StreamingMode enum to Always).

Thanks

I am closing this issue due to a lack of response.
You can always ask to reopen it by mentioning me with a @.

Thanks.
