Ok so here we go...
Running the NVIDIA 390 driver on 2x GTX 1050 TI cards with Linux Mint 19.
If i run though the standard install process (add the PPA and then just run apt-get install obs-studio) the program installs and runs just fine. It even has NVENC H.264 support which is great!. However there is no Window Capture and no Game Capture option. 2 weeks ago I had both of these installed with a compiled version on a Custom Kernel with Debian Jessie. Granted Game Capture didn't do anything (as expected) but it was an option. Down side was I didn't have NVENC support at all and could only do Software Encoding.
Now we fast forward to this problem. So If i just do Screen Capture (which I do have) then the video just Strobes and pegs both my 1050 TIs to 100% gpu.
So I decided to just do another Compiled version like I did before and even fully compiled ffmpeg as i did before(had no issues there). However this time I can't get it to finish the compile and it gives me an error as follows.

Installing with --pkgversion=20190224-git --deldoc=yes...
========================= Installation results ===========================
/var/tmp/tmp.b40AfaphZV/installscript.sh: 4: /var/tmp/tmp.b40AfaphZV/installscript.sh: --pkgversion=20190224-git: not found
**** Installation failed. Aborting package creation.
So the question is either do we fix the compile problem or do we fix the main build on the PPA that doesn't have Window Capture?
Thanks,
UPDATE: I got it working.....
So by Default all versions of Linux Mint 19 and 19.1 have Xcomposite Disabled by default... for what reason i have no idea.. but to enable it its pretty easy.
goto your /etc/X11/xorg.conf
At the bottom you find this..
Change it to this..
then run " xdpyinfo | grep -i composite " to confirm its enabled. if it is it will respond with a single line just saying "Composite" and then OBS will pick it up...
I just re-installed directly from the PPA and also had a compiled version of ffmpeg that included NVENC and all is well in the world....
Hope this helps anyone who has an issue with it.
