I just installed this OBS-NDI 4.14.1 but when I add "NDI Source" it doesn't find any cam even if I'm on a call with 2 people on the schipe. I obviously activated NDI on Skype.

I have Windows 11

IDKY but sometimes you have to go to Access Manager in NDI Tools and add the cams ip address in the External Sources tab. I use Advanced IP Scanner to find the addresses of all sources

Hello Everyone: I have already posted this in the general Windows section, but in case it can get more attention here, I am still looking for a solution to NDI devices not showing in the NDI Sources dropdown list.

OBS not finding NDI cameras

Hello Everyone: I run a church live stream, using OBS 30.2.3 on Windows 11, and I am having a problem where OBS is not finding 2 DataVideo PTC-140 PTZ NDI cameras. The cameras had been recognized and used in OBS, up until a recent upgrade to our internet service, which involved replacing the...

Hi.

The checksums provided on the DistroAV 6.0.0 download page are not correct. I have used dozens of hashing algorithms to check — none of them matched.

Yes, the checksums have been fixed.
Previously they looked like this:

Hi, does anyone know how can I change which ethernet adapter with specific IP is used in DistoAV? I have multiple ones, and i want dedicate some mainly for DistroAV, but it keeps using wrong ones with lesser speed and more latency.

I'm having a strange problem with DistroAV, specifically that the output source on my streaming laptop is lagging/stuttering like crazy until I install then uninstall ethernet drivers, and then it works magically again for one day only. Ceases working after that until I install and then uninstall ethernet drivers again.

Has anyone had a problem like this, and if so, is there a solution?

Out of curiosity, is this for an on-board ethernet interface or a USB one? If it's for on-board that is REALLY interesting. In theory, you'd figure those shouldn't have any such issues, even on a laptop.

For my part, I haven't tried doing it from a laptop, though I've had other, different issues.

And finally, are you making sure you're on the latest NDI runtime (the most recent release is 6.1.0.0 as of this writing)?

Are you broadcasting from this PC? One thought I had was you can tell OBS Studio, via its Advanced settings page, to tell it which interface/IP to send output on, though I don't know if this affects the broadcast/RTMP side of things. It COULD follow Windows' TCP/IP routing table, but the computers I have which send NDI streams don't actually stream. The one that does actually stream only receives an NDI stream. This is how I tell my NDI-emitting PCs where to send their NDI streams as all my computers involved have multiple ethernet interfaces.

Beam, on the other hand, is far more explicit in where it sends its output within its own interface, never needing the OBS-wide one.

I don't think I did have them installed but I just installed them on both machines, restarted both and unfortunately still having this problem :(

It's a real brain twister because its only the source from the gaming PC on the laptop with OBS being run by NDI/DistroAV like the main PC isn't lagging at all, but im not sure what could be causing the frame dropping/stuttering

I ran a test stream (5-minutes or so) to see if a log could figure out what was going on and this time it said there was an issue with max audio buffering (restarting source all the time because of it) could that be the root cause of all these problems?

If it is... why on earth would it get solved by reinstalling ethernet drivers?
