Hi

I try to connect 3 phones to OBS as video sources.
For android phones i use IP Webcam and it works perfectly
For iOS i use NDI HX Camera app and NDI plugin for OBS (4.8)
Problem is - there is no source showing on one of PC's. If i try this on my desktop it works. The same settings, the same network, the same OBS and plugin version, the same phone, but using OBS on my laptop and it wont show any sources in NDI Source plugin
Checked firewall, restarted multiple times, tried newer plugin version, nothing helps

Laptop is using the same wi-fi that phones are using
androids have no problem, ip6s cant be seen on laptop
on desktop it works like charm

Desktop is wired Ethernet right? wired Ethernet does NOT = same network (may be same IP range, but not same)

you may be overwhelming WiFi with traffic... or standard Apple not playing by standards

If Desktop is on same WiFi network as laptop, and iPhone 6s talks to desktop but not laptop, then it is a setting (OS, security s/w, OBS, or ??) is different

With out a lot more details hard to tell, but I'd start with troubleshooting iPhone to laptop outside of OBS (ie use Task Mgr/Resource Monitor as I was implying) and see if NDI traffic even getting to laptop

1: desktop is wired by ethernet but is in the same subnetwork
2: tested on two routers - old one had problems with multiple phones, so i upgraded to tp-link AC2300 - it could handle more than i can throw at it
3: OBS settings are the same on both laptops as on desktop, i even downgraded NDI plugin from 4.9 to 4.8 on both laptops, as desktop has this version
4: if not using OBS then how can i connect NDI HX Camera? Is there any client for windows replacing OBS plugin?

1: desktop is wired by ethernet but is in the same subnetwork
as I said, maybe same subnet but with WiFi Access Point involved - not the same
Have you checked your wireless settings (ie allowing WiFi clients to talk to each other vs often default WiFi client isolation)?
