I know this question has been asked a few times, I tried finding some answers for it but I have some confusion with it. Every time I attempt to stream or record I get the pop message saying
Starting the output failed. Please check the log for details.
Note: If you are using NVENC or AMD encoders, make sure your video drivers are up to date.
I was looking through the log file, but this isn't my area where I have to much knowledge to know how to fix it, so something could give some advice, I'd appreciate it
