Experiencing the same issue!
OBS can see the NDI sources (via dropdown) but the feeds are blank.
The PTZ controls plugin is also unable to control the cameras after Sequoia update.
I've checked all Privacy & Security options (including Local Network) and OBS has access on all listings.
OS Sequoia: 15.0 ; OBS: 30.2.3 ; NDI: 6.0.1

A temporary workaround:
Go to ~/Applications in finder, right click OBS > Show Package Contents
Go to Contents > MacOS and run OBS
This will run in Terminal, and you will have to give "Terminal" all permissions.
You can minimize and ignore that terminal window.
Once that was done, the NDI feeds, Visca controls, etc, all started working.
There were other side effects of running OBS this way, so it is not ideal.

Thank you @heathdutton, I don't know how you found that workaround but it works! Quick note, you can also right-click the OBS executable in Contents > MacOS, right-click (or Ctrl+Click) and select "Make Alias" then drag that alias to somewhere more convenient.
I tried to use Automator (in Applications folder) to create a an Application which runs a script starting "/Applications/OBS.app/Contents/MacOS/OBS" so I could pin it to the Dock but it didn't work initially so I gave up ;)

Hello @heathdutton ,

Make sure you also give Terminal permission to scan the local network. That's the permission option that is being missed by OBS somehow. Basically moving that permission grab over to Terminal (or some other shell) sidesteps the problem for me.
Hi @heathdutton,
Yes, I did, Wondering is there any method to verify? or it is still not working, Do I have to reinstall lower version OBS & NDI? If yes, what version do I need to reinstall ? Please advise, thanks lot
