Was this Intel version ? or Apple silicon version - what version of NDI and Runtime?I recently re-installed OBS NDI on v. 29 as a test and it's working for me (Mac Silicon).
I plan to drop it at some point (and just use SRT) as it does feel like it will fail one day but for the moment it's a convenience for a singularly specific thing.
I just did this same exact setup and everything appears to work within OBS, but when it is actually streamed it was extremely choppy audio. It definitely doesn't work properly. Oddly enough, for the audio I can use vb-audio virtual cables to capture the output of the ndi video/audio in NDI Studio Monitor. I then use that NDI Monitor captured audio as an input and then it streams the audio without issue.I see a lot of people complaining about this plugin having issues, but I don't have any issues at all on windows now that they have patched with the 4.10.1 plugin here https://github.com/DDRBoxman/obs-ndi/releases/tag/4.10.1 . Both of my windows PC's are connected via a netgear GSS108E.
All I did to install is install the latest NDI Tools 5.5.2.0 on both pc's from here https://www.ndi.tv/tools/#download-tools . I had whatever the lastest version of OBS 28 at the time on both PC's. Then I downloaded the zip version of the OBS NDI plugin which has two folders when you unzip. I placed the files in each of those folders in the appropriate folders in my OBS directories on both PC's and everything seems to be working. I don't get any stuttering or have any audio desync issues at all. I did a 5 hour stream on twitch to test (not a regular streamer at all) last weekend and as far as I can tell everything is as expected. You can view that here if you would like https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1701651203 . Maybe you can point out issues that I'm missing, but as far as I can tell it works?
Those who have the problem with BROKEN AUDIO or Audio Crackling
Just dont use OBS 29 and NDI 5
Instead of that use OBS 27 + obs ndi 4.9.
You all have posted some really great information. I have an M2/Ventura 13.2 with OBS 29.0.2 and trying to set up NDI 4.10.0-QT6 UsingNDI Runtime-4.5.1. I just do not have enough knowledge to get either of the fixes above to work. Can you help a dumb guy out? Maybe a little more step by step in either of the solutions above.Hey, you can fix it simply by opening up a Terminal on mac, and write this:
sudo cp "/Applications/NDI Video Monitor.app/Contents/Frameworks/libndi_advanced.dylib" "/usr/local/lib/libndi.4.dylib"
I'm having the same problem on a fresh install on a new machine. Although everything is working fine on 3 other computers with OBS 29.0.2 and NDI 5.5.3, the new HP Elitebook i7 does not show any source in OBS 29.0.2 with NDI 5.5.3. All drivers are actual, BIOS is updated and all sources are visible in the NDI Studio Monitor. After hours of testing I have no other explanation as an incompatibility of the NDI plugin to OBS....I'm not having an issue with audio in NDI5... I'm having an issue where my NDI5 camera isn't showing up AT ALL. The camera shows up in NDI Tools and other NDI programs without any problems.
UPDATE: I had got the new computer with preconfigured W10Pro 64Bit. Since there was not very much software installed I reinstalled Windows 10 Pro once again on a blank drive. Now ist works as it has to with the installed configuration: OBS 29.0.2, NDI-Plugin 4.10.0 and NDI 5.5.3. Everything ok!I'm having the same problem on a fresh install on a new machine.
