Question / Help Disable Bind to IP

[do_ob]

Good day.

So, so far using OBS has been wonderful, until today.
Today when I tried to stream, OBS told me that I couldn't connect due to wrong bound IP. This is strange cause this was the first time I see this message, and I have a dynamic IP. So now, in settings, my IP is stuck at whatever it was and grayed out.
Q : Is there a way to disable this function?

Settings->Advanced->scroll down to Network->Bind to IP->set to default

Strange. Your dropdown box seems locked. It is not locked for me. Try to check "enable new network code" and see if the dropdown list becomes available.

If that doesn't work, and nobody else has an idea how to change the setting, edit the ini manually.
In OBS, File->Show Profile folder (opens Explorer in the current OBS profile directory)
Close OBS completely
Right-click on basic.ini in the explorer window and edit the file (Notepad should open)
Search for the entry that starts with "BindIP=" and remove the complete line. Then save the file.
Open OBS. Should work now.

Never mind, found my problem = NDI was active, couldn't change settings.

Thanks all. If your option is greyed out, see if you are recording. My OBS is set to record and stream at the same time, if either is active, the box will be greyed out. Restarting the program and going directly to Advanced, bind to IP set to default; resolved the issue for me. Thanks all!
