Issues with Spout output

Post by hiniko »

Hi there!

I have been looking in to using the Spout output function in Magic to do some streaming and the like. However I have this issue that the video stream outputted is very corrupted. I have gone through the Spout settings and nothing seems to make a difference.

Attached is an image of a basic star field and the spout output. There is also one of the Spout sender and receiver which I hope rules out that this is an Spout issues, but hey, you never know.

I have also updated my Graphics drivers to see if it helps but no difference.

Below is a system spec from dxdiag if it helps

Re: Issues with Spout output

Post by Magic »

I talked with the Spout creator, and he said this might be an issue with AMD cards: http://spout.zeal.co/forums/topic/probl ... -spoutout/. As you can see, TouchDesigner has the same corrupted output.

Unfortunately it seems like there is an AMD driver problem with the alpha channel. The Spout Demo Sender doesn't have the problem because it doesn't use the alpha channel.

I'm happy to look into adding a non-alpha option for Magic's Spout output, but I think the true solution is for AMD to fix their driver :).
