"Failed to Create AAC Streaming Encoder"

[thirdvalve]

I am unable to run OBS through my debugger (Visual Studio 2019). When I run, I receive a popup that says:

"Failed to create AAC streaming encoder (simple output)"

The same build runs OK from the command line (!).

Another "symptom" is that certain plugins fail to load when debugging. HOWEVER,if I run from a downloaded install of OBS the plugins load, but don't show up on the source menu.

Log files are attached.

I have built OBS from source and successfully loaded plugins on other machines. I cannot figure out what is wrong on this one.

Can anyone help with this? (I will go do Discord -but that forum usually is of little help from my experience).

Error 126 means you are missing a dependency for the DLL, perhaps from a broken DLL search path. If you're building in debug mode then this build will only work on systems with Visual Studio installed.

The build runs OK, if I go to a command line and run obs64 from there. I only receive this error when running in the debugger.

On a different Windows machine, I have no trouble.

On each machine I have the build from source, as well as the binary distribution installed.

Do you think I need to copy my environment into the Visual Studio settings for debugging? Not sure why they would be that different....

Weird issue.
