Default Black screen w/mouse pointer

I just installed LICE and I'm trying it out. I get a black screen when viewing the gif (in a browser) with the mouse pointer sort of floating around and showing some clicks - no graphics at all from the window. Running Mavericks (Macbook Air). Any advice/ideas?

Version 1.22 seems to have fixed the problem for me:

Default Does not support second monitor

from another "black screen" conversation.
wasted 1 hour looking this up, but the answer was right here...

only capture the stuff from the PRIMARY monitor - then things work

Default Black screen is still a bug!

Hi I see a few comments about there being a black screen and someone said that to fix it you use your primary monitor. My black screen only shows in the beginning and the end of the recorded GIF. I'm using my main monitor, I even turned my other monitor off and did some trouble shooting...still not working. And, I'm using the most recent OSX version updated on 12/19/2014.

Can anyone help?

Default Black Screen - Windows 8.1

Did anyone solve the black screen issue? I am running Windows 8.1 with a GeForce GTX260 graphics card (if that's relevant) and one single monitor output. All I get is a black screen with the cursor on any type of recording, would love to know if there's a fix for this?

I also have same problem, with 1.24. I am on OS X 10.10.2 with 2 monitors, but I can't capture in any one, first or second.

There is a solve?

Default Black screen issue solved... kinda

I really wasn't willing to give up on this black screen issue.

What I discovered was that if the preview is reduced in height <= 380 pixels it would record every time. 380 was the magic number for me, increase to 381 and I get a black screen with the recorded movements of the cursor.

All my tests were done at 800 px width on Windows 8.1.

MacBook Pro running Yosemite here. I was able to resolve this issue by uninstalling LICEcap

and then re-installing from the terminal using homebrew:

brew cask install licecap

ugh. Experiencing this problem again. Capturing on the primary monitor or with a height less that 380px doesn't work for me. :-/

MacBook Pro running OSX 10.11 El Capitan here.

For what it's worth I did have these issues with an older version of LICEcap after upgrading to El Capitan, but version 1.25 does work at least on the primary display (on the Retina display anyway, didn't try it on external monitor), and my default window size was bigger than the magical 380px.

Default Black screen & white mouse capture

Hiya,

Same issue experienced now on macOS Sierra, after uninstallation & re-installation via homebrew as suggested by @michastubbs

Only on external monitor, works just fine when capturing from laptop monitor.
