I have seen some other threads having the same problem but selecting the encoder to be nvenc is not working like it is for others.

My Log File Is Returning this line.
17:21:53.151: [NVENC encoder: 'recording_h264'] Failed to open NVENC codec: Generic error in an external library

I will provide any other info.

So is it automatic for obs to just not let you click the start recording button when your system is below specs? If so then would be nice to be told that it is.

Also I know this article is for crf but I wasn't sure if it applied for cqp http://slhck.info/articles/crf

Just had a friend test, he has a 6 core cpu, and a gtx 980 ti. He is getting this error also.

15:54:02.328: [NVENC encoder: 'recording_h264'] Failed to open NVENC codec: Invalid argument 15:54:09.364: rtmp-common.c: [initialize_output] Could not find service ''

This is a different error but still a problem.

As you already said yourself, this is a completely different error. It should be in its own thread, with its own accompanying log. Without knowing the settings used while trying to invoke NVENC, the best we can do is basically throw darts at a board of possible guesses.
