Every time I try to start a new recording, I get a warning that since there's no source recording, the video will end with a black screen. That's fine for now, because I need to record audio from the internet right away. Let's fix one problem at a time. Because isn't recording working at all? Black screen or not? When I click OK, I get the following message, which I'm translating here because this is an English forum. I get the message in Italian because I'm writing from Italy and have OBS installed in my language. The message reads:
---------------------------
Start recording failed
---------------------------
Unable to create output file. Check the log for details.
Note: If you're using NVENC or AMD encoding, make sure your video drivers are updated to the latest version.
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------
I keep getting this message even after uninstalling OBS several times and redownloading the program from the website. In the logs folder the message asks me to check, I find .txt files renamed with the date and time of the failed recording attempt. Would they still appear even if I had recorded? The first one seems to be from the first failed attempt, some time ago. I don't see any .txt files from previous years with the same date as the recordings I still have saved. I had other things to do, but I wanted to try to fix the problem before asking for support. But all attempts have been unsuccessful. What should I do to start recording again? In the meantime, there's no point in trying to add sources if I don't fix this problem first. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.
