zoom following cursor across ALL screens, not just the screen i'm trying to capture

[christiansass]

I have four monitors on my setup and i run OBs in Display 2 and want to zoom and Capture in Screen 1 ONLY. it it seem to scale the cursor movements across ALL screens instead of tracking in just the boundaries of the screen I'm trying to capture...

it like the script is calculating the SUM of all the screens to determine the zoom location..., in effect i have to move my mouse to the lower display to get the zoomed view to move down on screen 1

how do i restrict the tacking to screen 1 only?

Win 10
OBS 29
python 310

Windows 11, OBS 29, Python 310

Multimonitor support was recently refactored as of 2023-09-11. Could you please try to reproduce the issue with the most recent version of the script?

Hello! Having the same issue here. Spent a day trying to figureout what it was that I was doing wrong. (Downloaded on the 22/09/23)

My settings:
Python 3.10.10
Obs 29.1.3

I did:
pip install PyWinCtl==0.0.38
pip install pymonctl
pip install pynput
pip install screeninfo

With all of this it runs (finally. Now, the settings in OBS:

The best settings seems to be "Enable Monitor Override" ON. Put the zoom follows the mouse through all screens (not the only one that has been selected)

If I try without the Override option, it seems to zoom alot to the top-left part of the screen.

Thanks for this awesome plugin! I really wish I could enjoy it. Such a pitty for now... :(

I really look forward to hearing from you! Hope the comment helps to pin point the bug.

@tryptech i found possible problem in my case (windows, python 3.10.11)
pymonctl don't return all my monitors (one of them connected to nvidia card (primary), other to motherboard integrated gpu)

import pymonctl as pmc
from screeninfo import get_monitors

for m in pmc.getAllMonitorsDict():
    print(str(m))
print("--------------")
for m in get_monitors():
    print(str(m))

return:

\\.\DISPLAY5
--------------
Monitor(x=0, y=0, width=1920, height=1080, width_mm=527, height_mm=296, name='\\\\.\\DISPLAY1', is_primary=True)
Monitor(x=1920, y=0, width=1920, height=1080, width_mm=527, height_mm=296, name='\\\\.\\DISPLAY5', is_primary=False)

PS:
I replace pymonctl to screeninfo, and now for me zoom area work properly
