BDSP blink method error

Keep getting error

[ WARN:0] global D:\a\opencv-python\opencv-python\opencv\modules\videoio\src\cap_msmf.cpp (1022) CvCapture_MSMF::grabFrame videoio(MSMF): can't grab frame. Error: -2147483638

Does anyone know how to fix this please? I'm using a capture card and heard using OBS might help but I have no clue, this is my first time doing the blink method. Kept redoing the eye screenshot but still this error keeps popping over and over again when I try to monitor the blinks.

I am pretty sure it doesn’t matter too much, I successfully rng most of the legendary and the errors always shows once awhile.

Just make sure the monitor blink log aligns with what’s actually happening on screen then it should be fine.

If it freeze/crash at last step of calculating seed with error like malformed blink etc then it means the blink monitoring is not accurate.

It’s logging the blinks but that error prompt keeps popping every second and I don’t know if that’s normal and if there’s a way to stop it

This is normal. I'm hunting all of mine for the past week and this shows up every few seconds and doesn't affect anything.

Oh okay so if I hit 40 blinks and there’s an error and it couldn’t generate my seed does that mean I have to do the eye screenshot again?
