Doesn't matter, nothing on the receiving end, no transmission, no wasted bandwidth. Try using OBS in Studio mode, you might get lucky.
I already use OBS in Studio mode. I performed more tests to try to isolate the cause of the problem and realized that it only occurs when I use the window capture source. It doesn't happen when I use the screenshot source or capture device. It is as if obs disables window capture when the scene is not active. There is an option to disable some fonts when they are not active, however there is no for window capture source.Doesn't matter, nothing on the receiving end, no transmission, no wasted bandwidth.

Add the first scene to the second scene and place it on the bottom layer. It won't show up in the preview and the Zoom stream will continue.Hello. I'm trying to use the obs-ndi plugin to transmit the capture of an application window (Zoom) from one pc to another, through a filter in the scene or in the source. While the scene is selected and consequently displayed in the preview, the transmission occurs normally, however when I select another scene, the transmission stops, freezing the image. I would like to stream the window to the second pc constantly. can anybody help me?
What do you use for Sync settings now, Network or Source? Does it make a diff? What about Latency mode, Normal or Low?Older versions of OBS basically, before the 27 branch or when NDI was still using "Network Timing" by default. Those had the best compatibility between each other.
So Network and Normal are your recommendations, even though they still stutter. When you mentioned Output Filters, are they fixing the issues you mentioned with source and low or do you mean the microstutters a person sees on Network and Normal?Normal didn't have the Stutter or Audio "pops", and Network was the best option if both PC's aren't time synced since, as the name implies, it's using your Network to time the Sync. This is/was the best options.
However, currently Source Time with Low Latency since for a while OBS and NDI where a nightmare to run (the desync was almost instant, it constantly stuttered, had to reset my router after every stream, starting a new software would stagger the whole stream and required restarting OBS) and stuck with it for now.
I haven't tried going back because I don't know how well they will work.
You can try recording something small on the second PC for a couple of minutes, you might get lucky and it works for you perfectly.
PS: You can try Output Filters, those bypass most issues but they require extra power on your second PC and a very good Network system, otherwise OBS/NDI will disconnect your second PC from the internet constantly.
Where can I get these filters you recommend?Network and Normal would be my recommendations, but I don't know how they work now or if they got fixed (tried them last time about 8 months ago).
Output Filters fix everything, but they require a strong "Network" (your router for example, or cables need to support the data being sent) and a strong PC (Filters are between 10-40% more expensive to render), because otherwise your "encoding" PC will keep on dropping the Internet Connection constantly every 30 minutes or so.
I've now mostly replaced NDI with SRT except for the OBS NDI Out for program monitoring as I haven't found a good replacement for that yet.
...or perhaps you can redirect me to where I can learn more about these filters?Network and Normal would be my recommendations, but I don't know how they work now or if they got fixed (tried them last time about 8 months ago).

So does this mean that from V28 and onwards this plugin will be not usable at all for end users? (until updated that is) Since we need it for NDI to work at all with OBS?There is some mention on the discord channel that it is being updated but isnt likely to be ready with the launch of v28
