Hi!

Not so long ago it stopped working. One day it worked, a few days later I only got an error in ffmpeg. And it won't work ever since.

I always get this error:

[dshow @ 000001c8e7ebd500] Could not find output pin from video capture device.
video=screen-capture-recorder:audio=virtual-audio-capturer: I/O error

To me it's a rather mysterious error message. Since I don't know what output pin is and no idea how it could get lost.

full output please? That's weird...reinstall help?

I tried removing and reinstalling via ShareX. It remained the same.

+1 Facing the same issue

I downgraded my ffmpeg to version 4.4.1 and then it worked fine.
Looks like ffmpeg v5 is the culprit

Hmm, this may well be due to changes i got into v5.0, that introduced a bug. I'll have a look.

I did not see your message, and came to the same conclusion :p
The format you return has GUID {00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}, that is, it is not recognized as a FORMAT_VideoInfo.

Replacing the dlls, i no longer get that error when enumerating device options (I haven't tried to capture).
It prints "leaving aero on" by the way, should it do that or is it a debug message?
