Streaming CoX over Justin.TV

I was really hoping to set up a Justin.TV channel dedicated to the adventures of my super hero. My plan was to "voice act" the various mission dialogs and set up "episodes" for people to tune in and watch.

Well, I've streamed JTV before (but not CoX) and set up my new hardware for some test runs... nothing. I'm steaming my desktop and everything else without issue, but as soon as I bring up the CoX window, it shows one frame of the game (on the stream side) and never changes. You can even still see my mouse pointer moving around on the screen, but the graphics never change. On my side, the game is still running smooth as silk.

While I know streaming games is possible (there are many popular WoW streams) using nearly the exact same hardware I'm using, I've had no luck so far streaming City of Heroes, nor have I ever seen anyone else pull it off.

So, my question to the community is this: Have you ever streamed or seen a stream of City of Heroes on JTV? Do you know of any reason I would be having the issue I'm having? I feel it almost has to be OpenGL related, but considering I don't have any other OpenGL games installed, I'm not sure how to prove it. Any insight or assistance would be very welcome!
