Capture software issue with OBS window capture
Hi there,
I'm wondering if there's a possibility that we could get a slight change to the 3DS capture software. The issue I'm having is that when you run the capture software in single window mode, both the game capture and the little menu window have the same name and this is causing issues for me in OBS when trying to do a window capture. I'm sure there are other people who have had the same issue, and both the DS capture and the 3DS capture software have this little quirk. Performing an OBS window capture when the software is running in split window mode always works perfectly as each window is named as the top screen or bottom screen, so you can tell a source in OBS to only capture a window with that exact name. With single window mode, you can see how having the same name as the menu window can cause a bit of an issue. If the game capture in single window mode had a slightly different name than the menu window then it would solve this issue. Just wondering if this is something you could consider in your busy schedule and I really appreciate all the hard work you do for this community loopy
Thanks

Re: Capture software issue with OBS window capture
Just change the window match priority setting in obs off of forcing it to match a window title, then you can just select one of the two windows and it will work fine.

Re: Capture software issue with OBS window capture
Unfortunately this doesn't really solve my problem. I'm trying to set up a scene that will be automatically set up regardless what mode I have 3DS capture in. With it sometimes being in split window, or being in single window, fullscreen or not fullscreen, or any custom size, but having it all show up properly in my OBS scene. Without the windows being different names, my OBS source will see the menu window as something to capture if I'm not in single window mode, and it will show up where my single window capture should be. I wont have the option to manually select which window to capture every time with my specific circumstances, so not having a scene that can be prepared ahead of time is troublesome. The only solution for me it would seem is having those windows be two different names.
Re: Capture software issue with OBS window capture
Try this out. If everything looks ok I'll make it an official release.
(nevermind, already noticed a problem. Fix incoming..)
Ok. Trying again:

This absolutely solves the problem for me, and makes a huge difference in my workflow. It means a lot to me that you'd make this change and I appreciate the continued support that you give this community. Thanks so much!
Re: Capture software issue with OBS window capture
When you get a chance you could do the ds capture as well?
Re: Capture software issue with OBS window capture
Wow fast. Do you ever open source the software or is it proprietary?

It isn't a special build or anything, the changes were added to the main software.
