This is a fork of the original Lightpack focusing on better grabbing on Windows.

To use the new grabber, go to Profiles and check Expert mode, then go to Experimental and set the Capture source to Win8 Desktop Duplication

If you are on Windows 8 or 8.1 and want Prismatik to work when playing fullscreen DirectX games, Check Automatically launch with admin rights during installation, then check Enable DX hooking in the experimental settings. This works only if you are a local Administrator. You do not need this for most games on Windows 10

For everything else, see the original documentation at https://github.com/woodenshark/Lightpack-docs

You can create issues here and I'll see what I can do. Please check the FAQ below before posting. Contributions are welcome!

FAQ

Plugins don't work (#126)

Old style plugins do not work with newer versions of Prismatik. This change was made before I forked, and I cannot support old plugins. However, they can be somewhat migrated by installing Python 2.x and writing a plugin configuration file:

[Main]
Name=
Execute=C:/Python27/python.exe plugin.py
Icon=
Author=
Version=
Description=

and placing all files in C:\Users\YourName\Prismatik\Plugins. For example, this appears to be a working port of the Animate plugin.

Can't capture Netflix on Windows 10 (#32)

Microsoft put a lot of effort into their Media Foundation Protected Media Pipeline which we cannot work around. Watching in a browser should work.
