Expected Behavior
When Selecting either [Full-screen Projector(Program) ]or [Mulit-view (Full-screen)] and choosing a dummy display I would expect to see the relevant output on that display (either via a PIP viewer or NDI screen grab of that screen)
Current Behavior
The dummy display screen turns black and no other output is observed.
Steps to Reproduce
- Create a dummy display 1920x1080 and activate it and a PIP display on the main screen to see it.
- Run OBS with a base setting of 1920x1080
- Select either [Full-screen Projector(Program) ]or [Mulit-view (Full-screen)] with the dummy display as the chosen destination.
- Result. Dummy display turns black.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue with OBS 29.0.0, macOS 13, BetterDisplay, a 1920x1080 dummy display, and the Full-screen Projector or Multiview output. Review the linked OBS log while tracing the relevant projector and display behavior; done means the dummy display shows the selected output instead of turning black.
