[FFmpeg-user] Failed creating CUDA context for NVENC

[Yugandhar Veeramachaneni]

Hello everyone,

I'm currently using an NVIDIA Quadro P4000 GPU to transcode multicast UDP
streams to RTMP streams. I have quite about 30 streams running in parallel
on this GPU and I have no problems so far. I tried adding more today and
many of them are failing with this error.
