OBS Netflix Amazon Disney+ Videos Blocked Showing Black Screen While Recording? Easy Helpful Fix!

[@Razhali]

I like how you're not trying to promote piracy, you're only helping creators better create with the necessary images and content necessary to complete their activity.

[@ChristopherGray00]

any professional pirate distributer would just have an HDMI input splitter and record the signal, only costs them about 50 bucks and once the pirate posts it, the cat is already out of the bag, that's why video DRM is pointless, it only harms the end user not the pirate

[@strawberrymochiiz]

Maybe someone just needs a clip to make a short meme or TikTok. I see all kinds of clips uses for memes. Not everything is about pirating a whole movie.

[@Razhali]

@@strawberrymochiiz That's what I was getting at. I was condoning the fact that he made this video for content creators and made it clear that the knowledge isnt to be used to pirate the copy righted content.

[@turboterps]

@@Razhali literally the reason why I searched for this video..

In Chrome you can disable hardware acceleration, then you can bypass the black screen.

10 minutes just to give a dumb solution ? just deactivate hardware acceleration on any chormium based explorer, no need to even use firefox and certainly no need to make a 10 minute video about that

[@alainportant6412]

@Fabian Peters I am very slow in the head but That's a few clicks away, no PHD. And Chromium is the engine behind edge, chrome,brave and whatever besides Firefox .

Babes, you're the first hit on google. This video needs to be much more succinct. When I skip through it there should be a very easy point where I find you saying "Okay now that you have downloaded X, open it, click blah> click blah> click blah> okay now you're recording! Open Netflix and begin recording!" Uf sorry to be that guy but it's basically 2022 and everyone wants an immediate fix. Thank you for your hard work have a good week,.

Whoever reads this, currently from september 22, of 2022 this does work until these streaming companies decide to try and sue firefox for not protecting their content and i will say thank you to this random dude on youtube because ive been looking for a way to download all these movies and shows that are treasures to me but until now nothing has worked everything that would wants an arm and a leg for a 1 yr license or is just trash software that downloads in fuckin 244p but with this workaround for obs i can just record it on my own time lol

[@Sly88Frye]

Wow! That explains it. I used to use Firefox and I used it to record movies on OBS to use clips for editing a review, but earlier this year I got so tired of Firefox constantly updating so I deleted it and then installed Opera and since then and now recording my screen to get these clips from movies and then the screen goes black. Damn! I guess I got to go back to Firefox. I'll just have to change the settings so it stops automatically updating.

[@ryanreedgibson]

This is great. I was surprised this came up on KZbin of all places. I spent nine months writing a script that sums up the Walking Dead but I don't have media access to it like I do others. THIS HELPED IMMENSELY! If you guys need anything, let me know!

[@KumarSingh-zc3iw]

Buddy you saved me from burning my blood. Ton of thanks for just a simple but tricky method.

[@Sly88Frye]

Oh things have changed already. I really badly didn't want to change back to Firefox so I looked up any way to just fix the black screen on Opera, and at least for now it is working. I had to go to Settings and click Browser and scroll down to System and disable Use Hardware Acceleration. I was able to record the screen on Disney Plus to use for an upcoming movie review to keep my subscribers who have given me a larger surge of subscribers since the Johnny Depp trial shorts I've uploaded and keep them around by uploading reviews of his movies so Disney Plus may make it obvious which film I'm talking about, but he was in several besides that. lol

[@kebanc]

Works again now (go figure)!!! I downloaded and installed OBS per your instructions on my Mac PRO M1 and after I rebooted my computer it magically worked with FireFox like before with QuickTime capture (didn't need OBS even though it works with OBS too). OBS must have done something to the setting during installation so very happy again. Thank you for responding and for your fantastic videos / help. Like you said in your videos, this fix is very finicky. Salute
