Error at opening OBS studio

I get this error when I try to open OBS studio on Artix, no matter which option I select the program does not open.
 'OBS did not shut down properly during your last session.Would you like to start in Safe Mode (third-party plugins, scripting, and WebSockets disabled)?'

~/.config/obs-studio

Rename it to something else eg. ~/.config/obs-studio.bak

Then try to start obs. If it now works good though you'd have to set it up again to the options you require.
Otherwise it must be something else. In that case rename obs-studio.bak to it's original name again.

Also under that dir is a sub-dir 'logs'. Look in the most recent few logfiles to see if there is more info ?

When I did that it did not even give me a error message. It just did not open. When I open the log file I get this.

Sorry I missed these replies.
You installed decklink. Sorry if this comes across as patronising but do you have a "Blackmagic Design DeckLink, Intensity or Multibridge video editing cards" as the Aur page describes ?

If yes, and this is a longshot, these lines stand out:

14:58:25.739: Failed to load 'en-US' text for module: 'decklink-output-ui.so'

Maybe try un-commenting #en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8  in /etc/locale.gen and running
Code: [Select]
 sudo locale-gen
again.
I doubt that would work but I do remember a time (long ago) when Steam used to get upset if you didn't.

For what it's worth I can't get OBS to work fully myself. Screen Capture (XSHM) works but Screen Capture (pipewire) is just black.
