How can I use an iphone - set it up with an ip camera app and then bring the camera feed into OBS?

1) What is the best iOS app to put on the phone?
2) How do I access the video feed in OBS?

Has anyone done this with consistent results?

-Install the OBS Plugin
-Create a new NDI Input source and select the phone

Help -> Log Files -> View Current Log
There should be some lines starting with a time and then
"[obs-ndi] hello ! (version 4.1.3)"
....
"[obs-ndi] NDI library initialized successfully"

Thank you, looking at the log, the plugin is obviously not working, but I don't know how to fix it!

Your version is too old to work with the NDI plugin.

Current version is 20.x.

That did it - thanks - I had clicked "check for update" within OBS and it said "current version?"
Thanks for your help!

Hello,

Apologies is this is either simple or duplicated, I've had a read but can't see anything about it.

I've installed the NDI plugin, and it loads fine, and I can see a source option called 'NDI Source', so far so good, but when I try and add the source, all of the options in the properties window are inoperable. They are not greyed out as if they are inaccessible, when I hover over them they change colour slightly as they should, but none of them work. The drop down menu doesn't drop down, tick boxes don't tick, and the NDI.NewTek.com, Defaults, Ok buttons don't click. The only button that works is the x in the corner and the cancel button of the window.

Any ideas what the issue is here?

In order for the NDI source to display an option, there needs to be an active NDI source broadcasting on the same network as OBS.

In case it's a problem with the iOS app, you can test this by running another copy of OBS with the NDI plugin on another machine on the network-- go to the Tools menu, turn on the NDI output, and then look for an NDI source on the 2nd copy of OBS.
