Thanks! I found a solution. I had to remove all NDI filters from all my scenes and sources that I previously had. I installed NDI Tools 5.6.0.0 and obs-ndi 4.11.1. I didn't install Runtime 5.3.3, and instead copied the files from C:\Program Files\NDI\NDI 5 Tools\Runtime\ and pasted them into C:\Program Files\NDI\NDI 5 Runtime\v5\ (I had to manually create folder since it seems that that's the location where obs-ndi filter assumes the Runtime is). Now I am using NDI Tools 5.6.0.0 and obs-ndi 4.11.1 and it runs smoothly.

Why do you install Tools?
 
Hi all,
I have some issues with NDI on my setup. 2 PC, gaming pc is streaming via NDI tools, streaming PC is picking up the signal in OBS. The main issue is stuttering, I managed it with lowering bandwitch and forgot about the issue but Baldurs Gate 3 launched and it is a mess, I thing its more connected with game engine and encoding via GPU but I would also like to be able check NDI performance somehow.

Long story short, is there a way to analize/log NDI performance? Like dropped frames, issues with bandwitch, desync etc?

Do you have different refresh rates on multiple monitors?

Do you limit yourself to a multiple of 60 fps for the stream's sake?
 
One thing I was wondering for internal machines I run:

Does the "bind to interface" option in OBS Studio's Settings/Advanced have any effect on how the OBS NDI plugin works? If so, it would be useful, for example, to make sure that inbound requests can only be serviced by a specific interface/IP address.

I have a mac mini m2, running OBS 29.1.3,
The NDI plugin is not showing as a video source or as a filter. Works great on my m1 mac book pro,
The mac mini is running MacOS Sonoma 14.1
The Mac Book Pro is running MacOS Ventura 13,5

Possibly a Sonoma bug?
 
Not a Sonoma bug, i re-installed ventura and attemtped to add the NDI plugin and it's still nto showing up in as a media source option or as a filter. is it an M2 bug?

They are prepping 4.12 on Github

It appears to be out now. However, I have a question.

I just picked up the newest OBS NDI plugin (4.12.0) for Windows, but it's only an installer. Curious, why wasn't a ZIP file uploaded? That's what those who use portable installs (like I do) need to make it work. 7-zip doesn't see an archive. Is there a command line option I can use to just extract the directory tree so I can install them manually?

Thanks.

Have you tried an ldd(1) command against the plugin or the NDI runtime .so files to see if there are any missing dependencies?

Hi there,

Can anyone help me with this plugin?

After every reboot of my streaming PC the audio over NDI from the gaming PC doesn't work anymore.
I am using the NDI output VST in Elgato Wave Link. After every restart of the streaming-pc the audio is muted.
Obs still shows the audio levels and that there is audio, but it is muted. So I see the lines moving in the mixer, but there is no audio.
Each time I have to add a second ndi source, audio only, copy filters from old audio to new, delete old, set new to correct ndi source. For every single track (system, mic, game, music....) This is time consuming and I don't know how to fix it.

Can anyone help?

Oh, btw: i get a virus warning for the windows installer (4.12.0)
 
Is there a package for flatpak? I am using Alma Linux and see there used to be one but the link from the github posts is archived. Flathub shows no listing in it's search.

Thanks.
 
I would still like to know what the hardware acceleration toggle does, because turning it on and off doesn't seem to do anything while watching it.

Hardware acceleration = using hardware other than CPU, in 99% of cases GPU, to make some calculations/code work possibly faster and use less CPU.
 
Has the video dysync been fixed? I play in VR, so after about 10 mins the video and audio is no longer matching my motions and up to s econd behind, and gets worse the longer you let it go. Closing OBS on the game PC and restarting OBS syncs it back up until it slowly desyncs again.

Someone had a fix on Github, but never was merged with the main branch, and I dont know programming enough to do it myself, and I cant find it now.

I believe it was narrowed down to something with audio was overloading something and causing it to slowly drift off by making NDI not handle audio, something else like voicemeeter send audio over network
