Fresh install. Windows 11. First time using CasparCG. When I run the server, the “Screen consumer” window opens but is blank/grey and the title bar reads: “Screen consumer [1|720p5000] (Not Responding)”. I tried to play a file, and everything seemed to work (no errors) but no video in the window. Note however, I did hear the video’s audio.
I’m just trying to test this software to see if we can use it in our workflow. I have plenty of experience with broadcast CGs (Viz, Xpression) but can’t get this to show any output. Appreciate any help.
