Obs studio ошибка failed to initialize video

If you’re an avid gamer or content creator, you know the importance of using a reliable screen recording and streaming software. OBS Studio has become a popular choice for many due to its feature-rich interface and easy-to-use settings. However, encountering errors while using OBS can be frustrating, especially if you don’t know how to fix them. One of the most common errors is the «Failed To Initialize Video» graphics card error, which prevents OBS Studio from accessing your graphics processing unit (GPU). In this article, we’ll guide you through some effective methods to fix this error and get back to creating high-quality content without interruptions.

Update Graphics Card Driver

Make sure to update your GPU driver. If you’re using an NVIDIA graphics card, I suggest using the GeForce Experience application. But you can also use the AMD driver suite. In the Drivers tab, select Download, and the application will automatically download and install the latest driver.

GeForce Experience > Drivers > Download

DirectX Diagnostic Tool & Update DirectX

If the error persists, ensure you’re running the latest DirectX version. On Windows 10, DirectX 11.3 and 12 are installed through windows updates. Search for DxDiag and hit enter to open up your diagnosis tool to preview your DirectX version. If you’re running DirectX 10 or below, you will have to ensure that your operating system is up to date.

DirectX Diagnostic Tool > System

Windows Operating System Update

Search for Update in your start menu search to open up your Check for Updates system settings window. Make sure to download the latest update and restart your PC when it’s done downloading.

Windows Settings > Windows Update

Roll Back the Display Adapter Driver

If the issue persists, you will have to roll back the graphics driver. Search for Device Manager to open it up. On this window, expand the Display Adapters. Double-click the graphics card you are using, and in the Driver tab, select to Roll Back Driver.

Device Manager > Display Adapters > Roll Back Driver

The error says Failed to initialize video. Your GPU may not be supported, or your graphics driver may need to be updated. I updated my drivers, and OBS studio was working earlier today until I uninstalled it and them installed it again.

delete the entire contents of your %appdata%\obs-studio folder.

You broke the settings by entering bad numbers in the video settings.

  • #9

No, you do EXACTLY what I told you to do.

@Ira A Pacheco your computer is too old.

My computer is too old? So I can’t do anything with the software?
How can I update a computer?

  • #13

@Ira A Pacheco Get a new PC that handles Direct3D 11. The computer you have doesn’t handle that API because it only goes up to DX9 by the video drivers.

I made a profile to tell you arrogant shits to go fuck yourselves! Fuck you! What kind of advice is ‘get a better computer’ when obs was working on my computer fine, but now it isnt.
You shits are to blame, and YOU are the reason people think free software is shit.
Fuck you all.

It looks like you fixated on someone else’s situation that wasn’t the same as yours just so you could complain rather than make your own post with your own session logs so that people could actually help you.,

I am running Gentoo Linux with Kernel 5.9.0

  1. Install obs-studio from source, using these steps:
git clone --recursive https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio.git
cd obs-studio
mkdir build && cd build
cmake -DUNIX_STRUCTURE=1 ..
make -j4
sudo make install
  1. run `/usr/local/bin/obs
  2. results in
    latest-screenshot
  3. Attached logfile: 2020-11-26 08-29-13.txt
  4. glxinfo | grep OpenGL results in
OpenGL vendor string: Mesa Project
OpenGL renderer string: Software Rasterizer
OpenGL version string: 2.1 Mesa 19.1.7
OpenGL shading language version string: 1.20
OpenGL extensions:
OpenGL ES profile version string: OpenGL ES 2.0 Mesa 19.1.7
OpenGL ES profile shading language version string: OpenGL ES GLSL ES 1.0.16
OpenGL ES profile extensions:

@Fenrirthviti

Please use the Discord or forums for assistance.

OBS requires at least OpenGL 3.3 support to function, which your system does not have.

@zdavatz

Ok, thank you, then I will try to install OpenGL from source. Why does the build script not check that?

@Fenrirthviti

That’s not how it works. OpenGL is a hardware function, not software. Your GPU does not support the minimum requirements to run OBS, you will need to use a different machine.

@zdavatz

Ok, that is very interesting, thank you. I just bought a new Nvidia GP107 card and it runs great with Nouveau and the latest kernel. Is Nvidia not supported? I would think my card should handle Video well.

Do you think it will work if I install the Nvidia Drivers for GP107? I will also upgrade my media-libs/libglvnd to version 1.3.2

@Chiitoo

Considering

OpenGL vendor string: Mesa Project
OpenGL renderer string: Software Rasterizer

it looks like nouveau might not be being used, but that’s kind of getting off-topic here. :]

@zdavatz

I am not using any Nvidia closed source drivers at the moment. I am only using what is in the Kernel and Gentoo supplies via emerge.

@Chiitoo

Right, but I believe you should be seeing something along the lines of

OpenGL vendor string: nouveau

instead of Mesa Project.

Perhaps check the Gentoo wiki and/or forums/IRC to make sure things are set up right-like.

@zdavatz

My setup is correct AFAICT. Everything works fine, only obs-studio is not working (but it does compile and install). Does it work on your Gentoo machine? If yes, what Graphics Card do you have?

@Fenrirthviti

Again, please use the forums or Discord for support. This is not an appropriate place to troubleshoot environment issues.

@zdavatz

@Fenrirthviti I do think obs-studio should offer a solution that is not based on Nvidia proprietary drivers and that works out of the box for Nouveau Users. FYI.

@Fenrirthviti

We don’t have any dependency on NVIDIA proprietary drivers, this is purely an issue with your environment not running properly, not OBS.

Введение

Obs Studio — это мощная программа для записи и трансляции видео. Она широко используется среди потоковых игроков, видеоблогеров и профессиональных стримеров. Однако, при запуске Obs Studio иногда возникают ошибки, которые могут помешать работе пользователя. В этой энциклопедической статье мы рассмотрим некоторые из наиболее распространенных ошибок при запуске Obs Studio и предложим решения для их устранения.

1. Ошибка «Failed to initialize video»

Эта ошибка возникает, когда Obs Studio не может инициализировать видео. Проблема может быть вызвана различными причинами, такими как устаревшие драйверы видеокарты, конфликты с другими программами или ошибка в самом Obs Studio.

Решение:

  • Убедитесь, что у вас установлены последние версии драйверов видеокарты. Проверьте веб-сайт производителя вашей видеокарты для загрузки и установки последних обновлений.

  • Проверьте, нет ли конфликтов с другими программами или процессами. Закройте все ненужные приложения и убедитесь, что никакие другие программы не используют видеопоток или доступ к камере на вашем компьютере.

  • Если проблема не устраняется, попробуйте обновить Obs Studio до последней версии или переустановите программу с официального веб-сайта.

2. Ошибка «Failed to start recording»

Эта ошибка возникает при попытке записать видео в Obs Studio, но процесс записи завершается неудачно. Проблема может быть вызвана некорректными настройками записи, недостаточным местом на жестком диске или проблемой с правами доступа.

Решение:

  • Проверьте настройки записи в Obs Studio. Убедитесь, что выбран правильный путь для сохранения видео и что у вас есть достаточно свободного места на жестком диске.

  • Проверьте права доступа к папке назначения. Убедитесь, что вы имеете достаточные права доступа для записи в эту папку. Попробуйте изменить путь сохранения видео на другую папку с правильными правами доступа.

  • Если проблема не устраняется, попробуйте использовать другой кодек или настройки записи в Obs Studio.

3. Ошибка «Failed to connect to streaming server»

Эта ошибка возникает при попытке подключиться к серверу для передачи потока в Obs Studio. Проблема может быть вызвана некорректными настройками сервера, проблемами с сетью или блокировкой со стороны вашего интернет-провайдера.

Решение:

  • Проверьте настройки сервера в Obs Studio. Убедитесь, что вы правильно ввели адрес сервера, порт и учетные данные, если они необходимы.

  • Проверьте свое подключение к Интернету. Попробуйте выполнить проверку скорости Интернета и убедитесь, что нет проблем с подключением или перегрузкой сети.

  • Если у вас есть антивирусное или файрволл-приложение, попробуйте временно отключить его и повторите попытку подключения к серверу.

  • Если проблема не устраняется, свяжитесь со своим интернет-провайдером и уточните, есть ли какие-либо ограничения или блокировки для передачи потокового видео.

Заключение

В этой энциклопедической статье мы рассмотрели некоторые из наиболее распространенных ошибок при запуске Obs Studio и предложили решения для их устранения. Надеемся, что эти рекомендации помогут вам успешно запустить и использовать Obs Studio без проблем. Если у вас все еще остались вопросы или проблемы, рекомендуется обратиться к официальной документации или поддержке Obs Studio.
