Trying to capture the plexamp window in OBS is just a black window. Would love to expose more people to this app but it seems it uses the same code that breaks streaming as plex (which is justified as you wouldn’t want someone streaming a copyright movie.). Lots of people listen to music and I would love to show off this compact visualizer to others.

I’ve found if you scrape the whole screen, it works.  
There seems to be a compatibility issue with the javascript container where plexamp is running in.

Same behavior with v3 as well it seems.
