DistroAV - Network Audio/Video in OBS-Studio using NDI® technology 6.0.0

[dprbass]

NDI Virtual Input for Mac is now available from NewTek

That's a great fix!

I do not see the option to send to NDI on macOS Catalina 10.15.4 in tools. I have installed 4.9 multiple times. Any idea?

 

[Timboxyz]

I am wondering why it is that even if you have the NDI Tools installed on your PC, the Plug-in relies on a separate run time which doesn't appear to come from an official source? Surely the Tools have the run time included?

Hi!.

I just installed NDI HX Camera on my Iphone XS Max and I have a Macbook Pro 2011, with OBS at the latest versión and lastest version of the NDI Plugin.

When I add my NDI Source to OBS, nothing pops up, I can't see my phone on OBS, why is that?

Helloooo.
I do have the same problem as you. I have tried everything but still not working. Have you tried different stuff and get something well?? Thanks

After updating to the latest update, it has resulted in constant desync and latency increases between audio+video sources, up to half a second at times. Usually happens after swapping between CPU intense scenes. Had no issues with the old version, downgraded now and it's fine. Checked logs and saw nothing noteworthy related to NDI.

I've been trying to set up a PTZOptics camera to replace the USB webcam we're using for church livestream, and I've been getting that issue from day one (about a month now I've been chipping away at the migration). But only when the gear is at church, not when I set it up at home!

Fundamentally, what's happening is that while Newtek NDI Monitor always works just fine, any time I start OBS I immediately have a stream that's ~250ms behind, and within about 30 seconds it's slipped back to about 2 seconds of latency, then into a mode where it's simply dropping H.264 I frames on a regular basis. Depending on its mood, this either means a black flash periodically, or it's worse and the black frame is actually replacing the I-frame, which results in the P frames differencing against that, and all sorts of strange motion stuff until the next I frame comes in.

For quite a while I was chasing potential network issues (nevermind that in all cases the camera and laptop are plugged into adjacent ports on a solid switch) because it *appeared* that OBS would always work when I set it up at home, but would always fail when I forklifted the kit to church. I set up a dedicated small switch (Netgear GS108T freshly factory reset) to "isolate" the setup so the only connection to the main network is an uplink providing e.g. DHCP and DNS, rather than any confusion with VLANs, IGMP snooping (off) and other stuff. Now I'm even less sure what's going on, because after gathering a packet capture (or maybe not, I think my switch span-port config was wrong) of the switch uplink at church, I brought the kit home and now it's failing here too (for the first time).

Can you share what version you backed down to that still worked? If it's just a problem with the latest version, I can stop chasing phantom network issues...

I really need to get this camera working soon, as we're getting closer to having some kind of church service actually in the building, where I'd *really* like to set up the NDI direct out so we can simulcast the service into a bunch of big rooms with limited attendance in each one (e.g. 25ppl in the 600-person sanctuary, 25ppl in the full gym, etc...). None of this "we're going to pack the church no matter what" crap...

Thanks!

I downgraded to 4.8.0 and have still had no issues since my post

I downgraded to 4.8.0 and have still had no issues since my post

That did it on this end, thanks!!! Now I'm looking through the bug reports on the plugin to see if anybody else has reported this issue specifically, and I'm not seeing anything, so later today I'll have to file a detailed bug report. I may also dig through the code diffs between 4.8 and 4.9 to see if anything jumps out as a potential root cause...

So, the only code difference between 4.8.0 and 4.9.1 is the removal of the "internal" sync mode in favor of the NDI source-timestamp mode. Presumably "internal" works just fine, and there's something up with the source-timestamp mode that still needs work. I've filed a bug (#502) and am checking to see if there's a debug flag or build I can run that will help track down and fix these sync problems.

More info... The kit was working yesterday, so I tried the kit today at church and it failed, brought it home and it still failed......

I set up the NewTek NDI camera app on my iPhone and tested the latency with that, putting both the NDI Monitor and OBS on the screen at the same time. That worked like a charm. So, I switched feeds in both programs to the PTZoptics camera, and OBS immediately had major latency issues.

I've fiddled with the settings on the camera itself, and it looks like H.264 Main Profile works significantly better than High Profile, though it's still several frames lagged behind the NDI Monitor, and it's got a variability of several frames depending on when and how I start things. But it's probably usable at least, so I'm going to give it all a shot again probably later today.

<sigh>

I have not found the link to download obs ndi . Everything that I find has documents but no actual download. Anyone have the link?

 

[bmxmadman2001]

Has anyone had an issue when installing it the plugin that it does not show in the Tools drop down? I have tried to uninstall everything and re-install and still will not show in the Tools drop down. But if I take it to another machine and do an install it works just like it should. I have gotten other plugins to install but NDI is not installing on this machine. I have used the manual process and the exe with the same end results.

If you're sending more than one signal from a computer, you might need to put a video filter of "Direct NDI Output" on the source ( it's called something like that in the filters ), and then you can send more than one signal from your computer to the network instead of just sending the Main feed and the preview feed.

Hello again :)
I tried that but unfortunately it didn't work...

Did someone test this or can test this out? It works in one direction (Webcam 1, PC1 -> PC2) for me but if I also create Webcam2,PC2 --> PC1 then PC1 only gets a flickering hell...
Unfortunately the ffmpegts variant with udp and vlc doesn't work at all for appearent reason so that's no option either for my problem... :(

I found the answer as to why it was not working on my one machine. I guess that my processor does not support NDI. Looks like I need to upgrade my rig...

I am running OBS 25.0.8 + installed NDI 4.5.1 macOS runtime + obs-ndi 4.9.0 (had no success with obs-ndi 4.8.0 either) and when connecting a NDI-source (iPhone) it only show a red handle up in the left corner (no feed after clicking OK) + audio (working). IN the phone I can see that it is transmitting (red frame in NDI HX Camera software (latest version).

I also did boot up another MacOS volume (clean installment with the latest MacOS) just to see if I had any inte conflict with another plugin etc. but no luck.

Anyone with some tips or is this known with this combo of latest MacOS version + OBS + NDI plugin?

any answer on this? I get the same issue running on High Sierra on a 2011 27” iMac. I can get it started (sometimes) if the camera app is set to low bandwidth which suggests a LAN issue, but interestingly, when I load up the NDI monitor app, it works fine with all 3 quality settings. If you try the monitor app does it come through ok?

Helloooo.

Same here, any answers? My only success is with the camera app in low bandwidth mode, but even then it’s flakey. It runs fine in the NDI monitor app.

Ok, really need some help here.

My recordings are looking like actual garbage compared to what they should be looking like. Did an iperf test on my internal bandwidth and im stable at ~1gbp/s.


Not sure where my logs start and end so im just going off of timestamps

Here is a link to a clip of one of my video recordings - https://youtu.be/7ntyZCnA0JY?t=132

Its not the worst quality i've ever seen but it certainly should be looking a lot sharper than that.

Im playing at 2560x1440p @ 144hz, im recording it at 1920x1080p @60hz, it looks like utter trash compared to other peoples 1080p videos, im not sure why, please help me :(
