Hello,

I hit start streaming after playing with some of the settings, maybe i just have to completely reinstall OBS but for learning sake maybe someone can help me.

"STARTING THE OUTPUT FAILED. PLEASE CHECK THE LOG FOR DETAILS. NOTE:..."
Drivers are up-to-date. After hitting "Start Streaming" i get that message and then it doesn't work.

Ok, i did what it told me to and still have the same error. I even tried the window/game capture with multi-adapter.

oh for future referance to anyone who may read this, you have to go to
settings > output> advanced > and change you encoder to x264/cbr rate control and add a buffer.

it fixed!
