Screen capture question

I’m definitely getting older it seems. I have a 1 hr (approx) stream I wish to capture - and the research I did suggested that obs-studio was the best bet. So, I tried it, and it appeared to be working - but the result was a blank screen (VLC). Any better ideas, or places to look for ‘cures’? Thanks…

Did you set up all the necessary sources?
Also, were you using Wayland while “recording your screen”?

Definitely not Wayland(!) - I’m on XFCE, and X all the way. I THOUGHT I had all the sources right, along with resolution settings etc - but the results did not match my hopes! If there is a wiki equivalent entry somewhere to introduce a use case, a pointer to it would be appreciated. Apparently I need my hand held these days…

Hey, maybe I missed a plugin or something - this is not an area where I have any actual expertise!

I don’t think there is anything special here when using X11: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Open_Broadcaster_Software

Did your session include a “Screen Capture” source like my screenshot above?
