I've downloaded the plugins I need for NDI Source but nothing shows up. I restarted OBS to see if it would pop up after restart and it didn't pop up. I restarted my Mac too and that didn't fix anything. My computer is updated. I even tried deleting the plugin and redownloading it afterward and still nothing. I can't find a solution to this problem. I'm new to OBS and don't know how to work it too well. If anyone knows how to fix this please let me know. Thank you!
OBS 28.0.1 NDI Source Option isn't showing up.
- Thread starter djhero91
- Start date
obs-ndi-4.9.0-macOS
That's the old one. The new one in the GitHub thread I linked is working for me, specifically the alpha build in this comment (ignore the bulk of that thread arguing about filters and outputs, just download the plugin). That thread also links to a build of the older plugin (4.9.2) that apparently works but will be obsolete once the v.5 version is out.
My work-around is to use NDI Monitor (from NDI Tools ver5). Display the source stream you require for OBS then in OBS select Window Capture
I hope this doesn't sound silly but I can't figure out how to download the actual installer for my Mac from this page. Where do I click once I am on the project page?
If you’re still looking, in the specific comment I linked, there’s a link to the alpha build. Click that and see the list of artifacts. Get the one for your architecture.
Alternatively, there was discussion in that thread in the last couple of days about using 4.9.x
You have to actually login to GitHub in order for the links to work. If you view that page as an anonymous user, the Artifacts section doesn't have clickable links. But once you're logged in to GitHub, the Artifacts section has clickable links that let you download the various packages.
Disregard, I think I misunderstood, someone referred to the old alpha build as if it were new

Hi,
I'm opening back this discussion thread because I'm facing the same problem even though I already installed both, the obs-ndi plugin and the NDI Runtime.
To be more precise,
When I've installed those softwares and plugins the first time, it worked. (I had to reinstall to update to the latest versions of each piece of software)
Then, like 5 days later, I wanted to use it and set up my 2nd pc broadcasting its screen through the network using the NDI Screen Capture HX.
Then, opened my OBS from my "current" pc that is going to "receive" the broadcasting from devices on my network.
I added the NDI Source. Then I went to its config to add the specific source, the 2nd pc. But it won't show any item from the list.
It is only capable to show a source when the "current" pc starts broadcasting and that is able to be added (but I don't need this). None of the device from the same network (even though the broadcasting from my phone using the paid NDI Capture HX android app)
The more curious thing is that when I do the reverse way (broadcast from my "current" to network, and try to "capture" it from my 2nd pc), it works. The second PC obs ndi source is able to list all of the devices from the network: "current" pc and my android app.
"Current" PC and 2nd PC versions (on both pc I've installed same versions of each software and plugins):
OBS: 29.1.3
OBS-NDI plugin: 4.11.1
NDI Runtime: 5.5.3
Windows: 11 updated as of today (2023-09-06)
