Setting the receiving OBS NDI Source to monitor only, mute output - set the monitoring device in advanced to something that does not cause echo for you and adding THAT as "desktop audio device" in obs will workaround the audio stuttering for now.
For some reason it is only the encoded output that suffers from the stutter and ONLY if recorded directly from the ndi source, so routing it through some other device first fixes the stutter.

Quick question, i hope it's easy. Streamlabs seems to update in OBS while the desktop app is running. When using NDI, should I have it running on the stream machine, or can I leave it running on the machine with OBS running idol (main machine). Essentially, does it matter which machine is running the Streamlabs app, or does it not matter?

That entirely depends on your setup. I could see arguments for doing it both ways, and don't necessarily think one way is "wrong", depending on the context.

So i'm attempting to use Ndi on my main gaming pc to my streaming laptop, but the video on the laptop is very stuttery, no matter what bitrate i set it to. Obs on my gaming computer shows the video being crisp and clean, but the laptop seems to be having trouble keeping it from stuttering. The cpu usage on the laptop isnt high either, never going above 10% when i stream it. I can't seem to figure out why its stuttering as ive tried 264 and nvenc and all of the different bitrate settings i can think of.

Hi everyone

I've only discovered NDI today and I'm having a problem. I'm running two computers that are connected via a router. The more powerful computer is running the gaming and the other (i7 4770) is the streaming computer. The problem I'm having is when I stream my game (Arma 3) over to the streaming computer it's using nearly 100% of the network leaving next to nothing to actually stream the game out to the internet.

Is there something I need to configure or adjust with regard to my network ? It seems like a great feature but I can't seem to figure out the bandwidth issue. Does anyone have any suggestions or solutions for this? Each computer by the way only has one ethernetnet port.

Thanks for any assistance :)

It may be too obvious but did you make sure that you moved your preview over to the active view screen in OBS? Also, are you sure that you activated NDI in your tools menu?

Curious if anyone came across any issues with the receiving PC taking the NDI source where the image would look bright/more saturated? An example here:

Screenshot was taken from a recording made on both PCs with the same CPU and settings. I brought up the issue on the GitHub page, but I figured I'd ask it here as well.

I just gotta say this is great and you're doing amazing work. My old i5 2430m dual core isn't much but it's surprisingly impressive at how capable it is using this method without needing the added expense of a capture card. Keep up the good work!

Having the same problem - much higher contrast on stream than I'm seeing in game and the colors are just way off. Dark colors are especially bad.

I know photographing a monitor can be misleading, but these images are very accurate of what I see in game (left) vs. what my stream is pushing out (right): http://imgur.com/a/DAWXw (I promise viewing angles aren't causing the differences here)

[Edit: I don't have this problem when I stream from a single PC, without NDI]

I'm also just not seeing the sharpness/clarity that I should be getting for my encoder settings:

x264, 1080p (no downscale), 60fps, 6000kbps, veryfast

My encoding PC can handle the load no problem (overclocked 2600K at 20-30% load), so the quality seems to be lost somewhere in the NDI shuffle.

Ok I just want to see how/if this could be possible.

Basically i only started streaming a month ago using NDI and all is fine with my steam.

I have my Gaming PC sending the Audio and Video via NDI to the streaming PC.

However, I have 2 gaming PC's and a streaming PC. And my friend who uses the other gaming pc, she wants to get involved with my stream.

So i installed OBS and the NDI plugin and the streaming PC is now receiving Video and Audio from both PCs.

But it is now receiving the gaming Audio from both PC's :(

I wanted to set it up with 2 scenes, one where mine is the full screen and hers is small (in the corner) and vice versa. Whoever has the full screen the audio from that game will play on the stream. But the mics from both PCS need to reamin on no matter which scene is selected.

Can anyone help with any suggestions.

The only way i can think of it working is when we swap scenes on the streaming pc. We would both have to tab out of game and Mute/Unmute the Desktop audio in OBS (on the gaming machines) which would be a pain.

Thanks for any advice.

Wrighty
