Hi, I was streaming last night and my OBS crashed with the following error:

06:20:10.981: [jim-nvenc] nvenc_encode_tex: nv.nvEncMapInputResource(enc->session, &map) failed: 8 (NV_ENC_ERR_INVALID_PARAM): EncodeAPI Internal Error.

I wanted to know what it meant and how I can fix it.

that is a copy/paste section of the log file. next time that it happens be sure to click "Yes" when prompted to save the crash log. then upload that log here.

for starters that is not the error that it gave you, that is a copy/paste section of the log file. but if the crash occurred after you closed OBS, i suspect that it is caused by streamFX. but without the crash log i cannot be sure. next time that it happens be sure to click "Yes" when prompted to save the crash log. then upload that log here.

Ok so, I had my OBS running overnight. And when I woke up, I saw there was a popup that mentioned something about NVENC. I can't remember precisely what it said but, OBS didn't crash. There was just that popup with OBS still running in the background albeit not streaming anymore. I shouldn't have used the word "crash" in my first post.

I do have the log from 6:20 am, when OBS stopped streaming. It's found in the first post.

my apologies if i misunderstood or came off as being rude. it was not my intention. i tried to change the tone and assumptions of my original comment.

best i can tell the stream ran without incident for over seven hours before the error occurred. it is possible that it was just a random glitch. honestly though i am not sure.

in case you haven't seen it, this is your log when run through the analyzer:

Adding to the errors you need to fix that the analizer shows, There's an issue with StreamFX plugin.

You're a few alpha releases behind. Meaning update it. Read the plugin guide to know what's wrong in this.
Consider removing the plugin if your computer can't handle it.

Also, you probably need to do a clean install of the GPU driver, just in case.

Performing a clean GPU driver installation

If you're experiencing strange issues or errors that might be related to your GPU drivers, one of the easiest potential fixes is a clean driver installation. Follow the instructions below. 1. Download the latest version of Display Driver...

Streaming at 300kbps a 1080p 60fps output is pointless. Even at 2500kbps is pointless. In this case is better to scale to 720p.

To verify your internet connection against Twitch servers is better to use this tool:

TwitchTest | r1ch.net

Test your upload bandwidth and connection quality to Twitch
r1ch.net r1ch.net
Anything bellow 90 quality is bad.
