The following error is thrown in the window ``` Failed to start recording Failed to open NVENC codec: Generic error in an external library Check your video drivers are up to date. Try closing other recording software which might be using NVENC such as NVIDIA Shadowplay or Windows 10 Game DVR. ``` In the konsole, the following errors appear. ``` warning: [NVENC encoder: 'simple_h264_recording'] Failed to open NVENC codec: Generic error in an external library warning: [NVENC encoder] nvenc_create_internal failed, trying again without Psycho Visual Tuning info: --------------------------------- info: [NVENC encoder: 'simple_h264_recording'] settings: rate_control: CQP bitrate: 0 cqp: 21 keyint: 250 preset: hq profile: high width: 1280 height: 720 2-pass: false b-frames: 2 psycho-aq: 0 GPU: 0 [h264_nvenc @ 0x55bdb5db4480] OpenEncodeSessionEx failed: unsupported device (2): (no details) [h264_nvenc @ 0x55bdb5db4480] No capable devices found warning: [NVENC encoder: 'simple_h264_recording'] Failed to open NVENC codec: Generic error in an external library ``` I have the related codecs installed as the following came up when I ran "ffmpeg -codecs | grep nvenc" ``` DEV.LS h264 H.264 / AVC / MPEG-4 AVC / MPEG-4 part 10 (decoders: h264 h264_v4l2m2m h264_qsv h264_cuvid ) (encoders: libx264 libx264rgb h264_nvenc h264_qsv h264_v4l2m2m h264_vaapi nvenc nvenc_h264 ) DEV.L. hevc H.265 / HEVC (High Efficiency Video Coding) (decoders: hevc hevc_qsv hevc_v4l2m2m hevc_cuvid ) (encoders: libx265 nvenc_hevc hevc_nvenc hevc_qsv hevc_v4l2m2m hevc_vaapi ) ``` My issue is similar to what can be seen in this thread - https://plus.diolinux.com.br/t/obs-studio-falha-ao-abrir-o-codec-nvenc-unkno... Hence, I believe it is related to NVidia or the OBS studio build in the repo.
