1. Run OBS as Admin. Right click on the shortcut, properties, advanced, check box, ok, apply, ok.
2. Your log contains no attempt of a streaming session. Results of this log analysis are limited. Please post a link to a clean log file.
To make a clean log file, please follow these steps:

1) Restart OBS as Admin.
2) Try starting your stream. Make sure you replicate the issue as best you can, which means having any games/apps open and captured, etc.
3) Select Help > Log Files > Upload Current Log File. Send that link here.

1. Your OBS version identifies itself as '1.5.1-28.1.2-m112', which is not a released OBS version. Only the newest available stable version is supported. You can download the newest available stable version at https://obsproject.com/download
2. Run the newest available stable version OBS as Admin. Right click on the shortcut, properties, advanced, check box, ok, apply, ok.

Hello I've been using OBS for years but recently my video card broke. I've unplugged it in the tower and I'm now getting the, "OBS starting the output failed please check the log for details" message.

I've updated the drivers, and made sure I've got the newest version of OBS yet I still get the message. Here is the URL to the current log: https://obsproject.com/logs/0xGStCMj3O43rden

Any help would be appreciated, thank you for your time.

I found a way to record. If I go to Settings > Output > then switch the "Output Mode" from "Advanced" to "Simple" it allows me to record videos again and goes to the correct file. Which is what I need to make videos for YouTube. Though I'm not a live streamer so that may make hurdles for that avenue I'm not sure.

If anyone knows why the advanced portion is giving me that error I'm still curious. Thanks for reading.
