Hi - thank you so much for this. It's an absolutely amazing application and has allowed me to play 1440p144 while I stream, something I (for different reasons) have not been able to do via a Capture Card.

My only question is this: My games run on 7.1 Surround sound, I stream stereo though. So far, I've had Voicemeeter Banana mix up 7.1 to Stereo and send it to the capture card like that. How does NDI (or OBS with NDI, respectively) do that?

Thank you!

There is a new flavor of NDI that is being implemented in some devices, especially PTZ cameras, called NDI-HX. I tested it the other day with a Panasonic camera, but it can only be received by TriCaster using the new NDI-HX driver and updated versions of NDI tools like Studio Monitor. The problem I ran into was that the NDI for OBS plug-in works great with the original NDI, but when the HX driver is installed the NDI source option in OBS disappears. This must be an issue with the plug-in. Does anyone know if the plug-in is in the process of being updated to include HX? I believe it is just an additional compression scheme for the video coming from the camera.

I would imagine Palakis is working on implementing HX. I'm not sure what all has to be changed/migrated to make it work, but I am very excited for HX. It is going to dramatically change the game, more than NDI has on its own already.

So yes, my guess would be it is in development!

Did OBS stop launching (all the way or properly) after updating to the most recent NDI build? (4.2.3)

Network Device Interface: http://newtek.com/ndi

Think of it like SDI, but over ethernet/IP, thus not requiring expensive capture cards and simplifying cabling/routing. It actually works surprisingly well, with indiscernable latency. NDI support would involve being able to add input from NDI video "devices", and possibly output over NDI as well, though a lower priority than supporting NDI inputs.

All I can really say about it is that it will probably be thrown onto the pile of feature requests with everything else, but don't hold your breath for a release with NDI support soon unless someone takes the time to implement it of their own volition and submit a PR.

It's possible there are licensing issues with Newtek that would prevent it from being compatible with the GPL2, in which case it's an impossibility. I haven't looked into it enough to know for sure.

Im new to NDI/RTMP/etc outside regular use of OBS/Xsplit, so I'm not sure if perhaps I'm missing something that NDI is changing that I don't see mentioned or that "should be" common knowledge and I'm just frustrated with my ISP and skipped it..

I got NDI to work and all that, currently dealing with some ISP packetloss issues that I can't seem to work around as well. However, installing the NDI installer seems to completely cause my Down and Up speeds to go to complete crap. Capping out at 60-90 down, from 450+down. At first I thought perhaps all the stuff I've been working on was the cause, but both PC's with NDI installed did this, even after uninstalling. However my 3rd PC was fine with speeds which is what tipped me off. I could not figure out what was the actual cause but as a shot in the dark I ran the good ol Speedguide TCP optimizer which apparently reverted and cleared up w/e changed and was causing that. For some reason even windows recovery wouldn't even let me go that route.

Basically just wondering what or if I did indeed miss something with NDI so I'm aware in the future.

This might be the same issue as other users had: https://github.com/Palakis/obs-ndi/issues/59

Hello, I just tried NDI for the first time yesterday. First I tried it with my older laptop that is connected to my home network over the WIFI. Everything was working, my laptop could see my main PC as NDI source and add it. Then I tried the same thing with my newer laptop that is connected to my home network via etherner cable. I did everything the same as with the older laptop but my newer laptop cannot see my my PC desktop as source name in NDI when I want to add it BUT my main PC dekstop can see this laptop so I get like only one way communication. I tried to disable firewall, no success. I installed the same OBS version, same obs-ndi plugin I restarted both computers. I tried to reset my network settings. Any ideas what could be wrong if I can see my laptop from my main PC where I am gaming but I can't see my main PC from laptop where I'd like to stream? I don't think there is anything wrong with my main PC as I could see it as a NDI source from my older laptop that was connected over WIFI. Thanks for help guys
