Switching from Win8 Desktop Duplication to WinAPI as capture source doesn't work

[alexdie]

When switching capture sources from desktop duplication to WinAPI while Lightpack is running the setting isn't applied and lightpack needs to be restarted in order to apply the setting.

Hi,

unfortunately I can't reproduce the problem. Can you give more details (how do you know which grabbing is active?) or provide a log file?

Best

I discovered this behaviour (or thought I did) while gathering information for #38 .

I have issues while using Win8 Desktop Duplication and no issues when using WinAPI capturing. However, switching from Win8 Desktop Duplication to WinAPI while Lightpack is running doesn't alleviate the issues, I need to restart Lightpack. That is why I - maybe wrongly - assumed the capture source wasn't switched properly.

Where are the log files for Lightpack located?

The logs are at C:\Users\You\Prismatik\logs\ I didn't have time to reproduce #38 yet

In the .1. log I started Lightpack in Win8 Desktop Duplication mode and started Dota 2. I then switched to WinAPI capturing. The fps issues are still present. I quit Lightpack and restart it, starting the .0. log. Everything is back to normal performance.

According to the logs, the grabber switch is done as expected. This is I believe indeed just a "shadow" of #38, but not a bug in itself, as switching seems to work.
