Please; Can someone confirm if the problem of progressive audio delay has been fixed in this latest version of OBS? Is it better to wait for the NDI plug-in update? I think I've already tried everything on the net in this regard, and the problem persists. And now that I have more or less dominated (NOT 100%) I'm afraid to unconfigure everything with the latest update without knowing if it works well. Thank you.

I'm not sure what the real solution to my problem was regarding not getting the NDI signal into OBS from Skype, but it's fixed.
I uninstalled OBS and NDI, reinstalled, and then downloaded Skype for Creators rather than the version that was already on my computer. After all that, it grabbed the video feed no problem.
Now I'm trying to work out the horrible echo delay that is coming from Skype into my livestream. I'm not hearing it, but everybody on YouTube is! What's odd is that while the Skype cal is in Preview, no echo to the callers voice, but the second I cue that scene into the Program, echo. What kills me is it wasn't doing this the other day when we were testing it all, I didn't change any of my settings, and then I go to do the broadcast and it was echo city. Had to stop after a few minutes. Grrrrrr.

NDI feeds are audio and video. You're probably getting echo because Skype is sending audio both in the NDI feed AND to the usual windows audio device that you're capturing. If you don't have monitoring on then you're not hearing it, but the mixer should be showing the doubled output.

Hi, after updating to OBS 23.2.1 the NDI source is not recognized. The pc was restarted, uninstalled OBS and NDI, reinstalled all cleaned up, and still not working or compatibility to skype call. Do anyone have the same issue?
Outputing on another VLAN than inputting :
Is it possible to choose another network card or IP adress for outputing NDI than inputting NDI ?
Let me clarify my case :
I got several Adobe machines broadcasting NDI return.
I have one 'switching' machine with OBS and each machine set as a scene in NDI input
that switching machine has 2 LAN adapters, each set on different VLAN
One VLAN is the same as ADOBE machine, the other is the same as my media servers that needs to receive the NDI OUTPUT of OBS on that SWITCHING machine
So my question is can I configure somezhere that OBS get NDI Input from ETH0 and broadcast NDI OUPUT on ETH1 ?

Look at a logfile. If the NDI plugin is installed but cannot load, there will be errors in the log indicating why.
If the NDI plugin does not appear in the log, then it was not installed in the right place-- meaning possibly your instance of OBS is installed in a non-standard location, or that you have more than one of them and installed NDI into a different one than the one you are running.

Still not working for me my friend. I have to use 4.6.0 - anything newer does not show up as an option in the Sources list.
4.6.2 is working for me on two different systems. For reference: On one, I replaced the 4.6.1 DLL file with the 4.6.2 version (from the .zip release). On the other, I installed fresh from 4.6.2 with no previous version.
I wonder what the difference is that's causing it to still not show up for some folks.

I'm getting a "CPU unsupported by NDI library. Module won't load" message in log file. My CPU is an old AMD Phenom II X3 710 (Ryzen 5 2600 coming soon...) and I remember it working on my laptop's Intel Core i5-3230M. Could the reason be my AMD CPU is too old for this?

Basically I don't want to use this for PC to PC ... although I can get that to work on my gaming PC ( wireless ac ) and an old PC ( wired ) into router... Did also test having gaming PC wired to Router ... I just want to be able to import Skype calls... wish they was a way only to add the NDI Source and not the rest of it ...
My issue is that my usage goes from 6 - 8 % to about 18% - 20%. which I am not sure if this is normal performance for the plugin....
Also after closing OBS , there is still an instance of it running in the background. I always have to go into Task Manager to close it. This happens on both PCs... Do anyone else have this is or had this issue ?
If i uninstall the NDI plugin...
PC usage back to normal . ( 6.1% in screenshot )
Closing the program doesn't leave anything open in Task Manager...
Here some information from the log;
13:15:09.349: CPU Name: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7700HQ CPU @ 2.80GHz
13:15:09.349: CPU Speed: 2808MHz
13:15:09.349: Physical Cores: 4, Logical Cores: 8
13:15:09.349: Physical Memory: 32652MB Total, 27925MB Free
13:15:09.349: Windows Version: 10.0 Build 17763 (revision: 678; 64-bit)
Please help ... been trying to figure if I doing something wrong, something with my set up ... At my wits end...
For now , not installing the PLUGIN , unless I have a skype call planned .... Not worth the extra PC usage for what I would do ... would like to have the PLUGIN installed if can get these issues resolved ( especially the 2nd one )

Doesnt work on mac. Cant see in OBS. Useless
Hi
I just tested this tool and it works : between Windows X PC, as source with OBS (gigabit ethernet) and destination MacBook pro retina, as streaming platform (802.11ac). As expected, I had some issues (lag & stuttering) on my stream quality. But it works.
Next step is optimize obs settings and improve network architecture by using gigabit ethernet between source and streaming platform, and then using wifi to upload the stream.
So here is my questions :
How can I route NDI stream to an other network ?
Did someone try adding an USB3 LAN card, for a new network or VLAN dedicated to NDI signal ?
- usb 3 rather than pci express lan card so as to use chipset lane rather than pci lane of my intel processor -
I've got also this question : is it possible to crop source image before sending it on NDI ? Because I play on a 32/9 144Hz monitor for gaming, and want to only share the center 16/9 part of it (by cropping both left and right sides of the screen)... Is it possible ?
thanks for help

I did some research :
NDI uses mDNS to establish connexion between devices :
https://support.newtek.com/hc/en-us/articles/218109477-NDI-Discovery-and-Registration
It sourds interesting with layer 3 and QoS switches to isolate and optimize NDI trafic...
I also notice for Windows users :
« For successful discovery and registration of NDI, network locations should be set to Work or Home. »
Public location doesnt work. It could explain why some users could not see NDI sources
