CasparCG OBS Integration

Hello,

I see a few threads on topic but they utilize software I cannot find.
I was curious if anyone actively pipes casparCG graphics into OBS Studio.
I see using NDI is an option but I haven’t been able to successfully configure it.

Thanks!

I dont se what the problem is. Its not a technical but a user generated problem (=wrong configuration)
here is channel 1 (background) and Channel 2 (graphic) from CasparCG as NDI into OBS, both running on same machine.
Start to check are CasparCG sending NDI (NDI Studio monitor first on CasparCG PC if that OK then on OBS-PC).
If NDI not OK on CasparCG-PC the config-file problem or firewall
If NDI OK on CasparCG-PC but not OBS then firewall/network-issue
If that OK then the OBS NDI plugin need to be installed
.

I’m assuming its a configuration issue, what software did you download and would you be willing to share your config file with me?
What version of caspar are you running?

Thanks!
