obs-ndi 4.10.0 (OBS 28 Support)

This release is for OBS 28.0.0 or above. It is not a feature release, it simply provides updated binaries to support the changes made in OBS 28

The Ubuntu binaries are for OBS 28, but are compiled for Qt5 on Ubuntu 20.04. Binaries for 22.04 and Qt6 are not currently available.

The macOS binaries are for OBS 28 and Qt6, but you will likely not be able to use this version on ARM machines due to libndi 4 not providing support for ARM.

Windows​

  • Using the installer (recommended) : download it, launch it and follow the instructions.
  • Using the obs-ndi-4.10.0-Qt6-Windows.ziparchive:
    1. Copy the contents of the archive to the root of your OBS Studio installation folder
    2. Install the NDI 4.5 Windows runtime using the installer provided here: https://ndi.palakis.fr/runtime/ndi-runtime-4.5.1-Windows.exe
On Windows, you must reboot your computer to make a new or updated NDI Runtime installation effective

Ubuntu/Debian (Qt5)​

Download libndi4_4.5.1-1_amd64.deb and obs-ndi-4.10.0-Ubuntu64.deb (both are provided below), and install them on your system.

macOS​

  1. Download and run obs-ndi-4.10.0-Qt6-macOS.pkg (provided below)
  2. Install the NDI 4.5.1 macOS runtime using the installer provided here: https://ndi.palakis.fr/runtime/ndi-runtime-4.5.1-macOS.pkg
(P.S. Thanks to @DDRBoxman for the binaries here and getting us by for the time being while 5.x is in development!)

obs-ndi 4.9.1 (Ubuntu package bugfix)

This release fixes an issue targeting the Debian/Ubuntu package. For the latest Windows and macOS release, see obs-ndi 4.9.0.

Only use this release with OBS Studio v25 or above!

Changes since 4.9.0
  • Ubuntu Bugfix: plugin installed in the wrong location (is supposed to be in /usr/lib/obs-plugins instead of /usr/lib/$multiarch/obs-plugins)
Windows, Linux and macOS Install instructions: see the release page on GitHub.

obs-ndi 4.9.0

Only use this release with OBS Studio v25 or above!

Changes since 4.8.0
  • Improvements to the NDI Source (#459):
    • The "Sync" setting now defaults to "Source Timing"
      • This is the best option to keep audio and video synced together, and it has been tested against OBS and vMix with successful results.
    • Among the options of the "Sync" source parameter, the "Internal" sync option has been removed
      • This mode never actually worked and is fundamentally flawed.
  • All platforms now target OBS v25 or above (including you, macOS users!)
  • Feature: Russian translation (#443)
  • Bugfix: the Ubuntu/Debian package now only installs the plugin into /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/obs-plugins (#460)
