I'm not sure which thread to post this in so I'm posting it in Software Support. I don't know if its a hardware issue or what.
Here is my setup:
My conundrum: Whenever I turn on my streaming PC in order to stream, I open up Streamlabs OBS and there is nothing that comes up on the screen from my gaming PC. I have tried multiple ways to fix this and the only thing that works is this. I go to my device manager on my streaming PC, disable the capture card, restart the PC, open up streamlabs OBS, enable the capture card, then in Streamlabs OBS I have to then deactivate the capture card wait a few seconds then reactivate it.
I don't know why it does this. My friend created a PowerShell script to automatically disable and re-enable the capture card on shutdown and startup but it doesn't work at all. I have updated everything and uninstalled/reinstalled everything as well.
My question is how can I fix this to where I just turn on my streaming PC and it just works without having to restart and disable/enable stuff.
Anything helps, thanks in advance!
Here is my setup:

- Streaming PC: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/coolhandluke_tv/saved/djx3CJ
- PS4: It's a PS4...
- Rest of my setup: I have the PS4 plugged into an HDMI splitted on the other side of the room from my desk. One output of the HDMI Splitter going to a TV, the other is a 25-Foot HDMI cable that goes to a Port-Selector on my desk (I have HDCP turned off so I can stream with it using the port-selector/hdmi-splitter). My Gaming PC is also plugged into the Port-Selector and the output of the Port-Selector is going to the elgato hd 60 pro capture card in my streaming pc.
