Can't load nvenc plugins

[Nirbheek Chauhan]

Hi,

Try setting GST_DEBUG=nv*:6 to see what's happening. Most likely some
cuvid etc initialization fails when that is happening, perhaps due to
some quirks in how nvcodec works.

Cheers,
Nirbheek

I can run several pipelines simultaneously in the terminal using those elements and everything runs properly. But when I run a piece of cpp software that uses these elements I am no longer able to use them in the terminal.
