Streaming flickers back to local video when streaming static image

[prestontrouble]

Hi there!

I'd like to use my TinyTV2 to show the album art from Youtube Music when playing in the background by steaming the fullscreen window, but whenever the TinyTV2 is showing a static image it will flicker back to whatever video would normally be playing locally. If the Youtube chrome window is playing a video or anything else dynamic the stream works OK, but if the image is static and not the currently-selected window (minimized or on another virtual desktop) then the flickering starts. As soon as I go back to the window or a video starts the issue goes away.

Wondering if there's anything I can do to keep the static album image streaming without the cut in from the local video.

Thanks!

To fix the issue of intermittent streaming of album art from YouTube Music on TinyTV2, you can try prioritizing capturing the application window instead of capturing the whole screen, or using a dedicated capture device instead of TinyTV2's screen capture feature.
