Question / Help Failed to initialize video unspecified error

When I open OBS on my debian machine it says: failed to initialize video unspecified error
1 hour before it worked perfectly. LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 obs gives the same error.
I tried to install the browser plugin, then obs won't open, so i reinstalled it and removed the plugin.
Any advice?
Thanks

Provide the output from "glxinfo | grep OpenGL"
And the error output from LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1:

error: glGetIntegerv(GL_MAX_TEXTURE_ANISOTROPY_MAX) failed, glGetError returned 0x500
error: Failed to initialize video: Unspecified error

Your mesa drivers are on a VERY old version, and support for the functions that OBS uses likely isn't in the version you have.
