If screenshotting content that is DRM protected (remote play, ps video, etc) it will only show a black screen.

It was my homescreen, so that was not the problem.
I noticed that the app preview then i hit the overview button was missing.
I could only see the app header.

I also had a message of a casting device that i could not connect to.
This message could not be interacted with. (play, close or pause)
It was this message i at first tried to screenshot...

So like Viridis said, you are trying to take a picture of an app that doesn't allow this.

I could not take a screenshot of my homescreen.

After a reboot i could.

Check if you can recreate the issue again
