Question / Help OBS Quit Unexpectedly - Catalina 10.15.4

[RichardMixon]

Good Day,

I spent several hours last night trying to get the NDI source to show up in OBS 24.0.6 (Mac). I have tried each and every download, mentioned on each and every forum. I have replaced the file at USR/local/lib. I have changed my login shell from bash to zhs. Every forum that seems to reference a situation where OBS crashes after NDI is selected as a source, however I still cannot get it show up at all.

So, figuring that the issue might be the OS (because when is it not on a Mac), I updated from 10.15.2 to .4. Where I find myself now is that OBS will simply quit unexpectedly, without any streaming going on, or anything even connected to the machine for that matter.

I need to address this crashing issue firs and foremost, and then I guess it'd sure be nice to be able to see the NDI as a source. OBS log file and apple crash report attached. Note I was not able to find anything under the "crash report" menu of the actual OBS software.

Same issue here. Constant crashing. Also cannot seem to use the NDI plugins with same symptoms as above. Catalina 10.15.4 (19E266)

I will note that over in another thread, it seems like some of the crashes can be attributed to when you are entering text into a secure input field such as a password field. See: https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/frequent-obs-crashes-macos-catalina-10-15-4.118896/

(I am also experiencing frequent crashes.)
