Camera Control Panel empty

#1

Post by albusmw »

Hi!

I noticed since several versions (I never saw it right I think) that after a remote control access to the PC the camera control panel is sometimes empty. I did not yet find a way to overcome the problem - only a restart can help ...

Any hints / is this a known issue?

Best regards

Martin.

Hi,

try running SharpCap from the command line with the extra parameter '/softwarerendering'. This forces the control UI to be drawn using software rather than the accelerated routines built into the graphics card and usually fixes this sort of issue. Basically on some computers with some remote control software the graphics card acceleration is silently disabled, leading to the problem you are seeing.
