Expected Behavior
When I run the auto-configuration wizard, I should be able to tweak some settings after it's been ran in order to go live.
Current Behavior
When I run the auto-configuration wizard, I'm able to stream just fine after it completes. Then I change a setting like bitrate, and I can no longer stream with the error telling me my NVENC codec failed. Running the auto-config wizard again fixes it and allows me to stream again.
Steps to Reproduce
- Run auto-config wizard
- Go live
- Stop stream
- Change bitrate (Settings > Output > Video Bitrate)
- try to go live
- fail
Anything else we should know?
This chunk of log seems to show pretty clear:

14:49:38.209: Check your video drivers are up to date. Try closing other recording software which might be using NVENC such as NVIDIA Shadowplay or Windows 10 Game DVR.
OBS installed from the flatpack through Pop store.
Check your video drivers are up to date. Try closing other recording software which might be using NVENC such as NVIDIA Shadowplay or Windows 10 Game DVR.
@LukeSaward1 Drivers are up to date, and I'm not using Windows. I did read that note, but it doesn't really apply in this case.
This may have been fixed with the changes we've made to services in the OBS 29.1 beta, please test there and see if the same issue occurs.
