[SOLVED] OBS without NVidia drivers?

My OBS streams in Arch fail to initialize. They spawn the error message that my OBS install lacks "NVENC" encoders.  This is probably because I keep all my Linux systems clean of NVidia hardware and software. Has anyone here accomplished an Arch OBS install which didn't require the NVidia drivers to stream? If so, how did you do it?.  Thx.

Edit: Solved -- Open OBS --> File --> Settings -->Advanced -->Video --> Color Format.  Changed this from NV12 to anything else (I used i420) . Accepted the new setting. Hope this helps anyone.

I made an image but don't know how to upload it to show graphically.  Cheers.
