Ok @Carey Williamson, upon further discussion in the Engine team, we are seeing general failures with the latest Nvidia Drivers (Version 550 and Cuda 11) Rolling back to 440 does seem to help in most cases. Not all versions of the newest Nvidia drivers support cuda10 (which is what we build against right now).
440 support cuda 10.2. 450+ supports cuda 11. It seems like something breaks for us with cuda 11.
This has been tagged as a feature request and we are updating our docs with the following today:
I’m sorry for the inconvenience, please feel free to send a support ticket if you’d like discuss it with the engineers at Wowza.
