Hi I have searched on here for a good 30 min, and can't find something specific enough to help with my issue (i'm sure its here but just hoping a thread can help.
So I will provide as much as i can and if im missing any info needed plz lmk

I attached a screenshot and log too if that helps, and when i hit start streaming or start recording it just says "Failed to start [rec]" and then something about NVENC or AMD encoders and to check the log
so any help yall can share, i would greatly appreciate it !
