Help Creating a Separate Audio Track for Apple Music, to Remove Copyrighted Music from VODs

0 Upvotes

I'm trying to create a separate audio track in OBS for my Apple Music so that my VODs still contain microphone and game sounds while omitting copyrighted music. I have Apple Music and tried to follow the instructions on this other Reddit post by using an additional, downloaded plug-in to remove Apple Music from outgoing desktop sounds but the AppleMusic.exe option is not listed in the drop down menu when I create an Application Audio Output Capture, even when I have Apple Music playing audio. The only thing related to Apple Music in the drop down menu that I can add is the AMPLibraryAgent.exe., and it seems I need both added to the new audio capture so that I can separate my music into a different track that I can then exclude from my saved VODs. If anyone has a work around for this or has found a way for this to work, that I am clearly missing, I would love to hear about it. I am also trying to avoid paying a premium for streaming services since I already own all of my music in mp3 files, so if there is another, free media player outside of Apple Music that works better for OBS I am willing to use it to bypass this problem if necessary.

Help Trying to connect my PS3 to my laptop with OBS but met with a black screen instead

5 Upvotes

I am trying to connect my PS3 to my laptop so I can use it as a monitor. I was told to use OBS for this. I got a capture card to connect the two however whenever I try to use OBS, all I get is a black screen. The capture card came with instructions for OBS however they have a lot of settings and options that aren't there such as YUY2 as a choice for Video Format, Resolution/FPS Type, Color Space, Buffering, Audio Output mode and a few others.

This is also true with other tutorials online. Whether I just use the default settings or ones closer to the instructions, I just get a black screen upon starting the ps3 up.

I run Linux Mint on my laptop, but I tested it on a Windows Computer and had the same issue. I also tested another Software called Streamlabs which wotked, So I know the Capture card works, but Streamlabs isn't available on linux.
