Can't figure out how to display LiveSplitOne splits on OBS (mac)

Hi! This is my first post here and I'm new to speedrunning in general. I use a mac so I decided to use LiveSplitOne because it seemed the most intuitive out of the limited choices I have for mac. Although, the only source I can find for displaying it on OBS is the 'browser' source. And I have no idea how to set it up so that it actually captures the splits I want (For example Mario Odyssey Any%). For reference, when I put the livesplitone link in the browser source, all I get is the empty screen that pops up for someone with no runs/segments saved and not my splits. Can anyone help with this issue?

If no one can help you further with that, you could always try using a window capture of a LiveSplitOne in browser and adding a crop filter to your tastes.

What's making it difficult is that in browser it wants me to use the LiveSplitOne URL. If I understand correctly you're suggesting that I record the whole window that I have open on chrome, how do I do this though? When I go to window capture also it doesn't give me the option to record a single tab (only the desktop background, menubar, and OBS stuff).

When I tried that it returned a black screen for the files I downloaded from the extension in browser. And for window capture, I see a LiveSplitOne source but it says 'null' next to it and doesn't seem to do anything. Display capture says that I have 'no properties available'. It does look more promising than the URL though. My guess is that for some reason OBS isn't able to realize that the chrome extension window and chrome tabs has anything on it so it doesn't return any content (idk though).

Hey guys, no one needs to respond anymore, I managed to make it work. It turned out that I just needed to give permission to my mac to screen record (even though I thought I did lol). Thanks:)

It's okay, I'm using LiveSplit One. It was just an issue of recording the timer. The timer itself is fine.

Thanks though, I appreciate it:)
