Info Unparseable OBS Version (None)
Your OBS version identifies itself as 'None', which cannot be parsed as a valid OBS version number.
Info No Output Session
Your log contains no recording or 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.
2) Start your stream/recording for about 30 seconds. Make sure you replicate any issues as best you can, which means having any games/apps open and captured, etc.
3) Stop your stream/recording.
4) Select Help > Log Files > Upload Current Log File. Send that link via this troubleshooting tool or whichever support chat you are using.
Info No Scenes/Sources
There are neither scenes nor sources added to OBS. You won't be able to record anything but a black screen without adding sources to your scenes.
