When I click on my OBS icon either on my launchbar or searched, I get a popup that says:

Failed to initialize video: unspecified error

What am I doing wrong?

Sorry about the info dump ... I couldn't post the complete commands since it was over the word limit

This is the forum for OBS Classic support (the old, Windows-only codebase). Multiplatform is two levels up, and one over. Probably will want the Linux subforum too. :)

ok thank you both.

is there a different recording system to use for video recording that my video card does support? I can also buy a new video card and insert it if possible

That's not going to do any good on his system.

His video card is old enough to be below minimum system requirements. No amount of recompiling will solve that.
