I’ve noticed on this version of Plex for Windows, window capture doesn’t work on other applications such as Discord and OBS. Specifically for OBS it doesn’t work on the BitBit capture mode, but does for the Windows 10 option. With both Discord and OBS (BitBit mode), it only shows the plex gray colour. It can sometimes show the content when the Plex window is selected but the cursor is off the window, but if it’s on the window or the window is deselected it doesn’t work.

Window capture used to work fine before this update, and I’ve tried turning Hardware Decoding on and off.

Does anyone know how to get Discord to capture the Plex app?
