Trying to config the latest server for NDI output to use with OBS and not having much luck. Any help would be appreciated.
sorry but I will explaine as good as you
NDI works for me with latest version, both fullscreen and alpha generated templates.
So lets go through the process
- OBS can receive NDI (checked for example with NDI Tools Test generator)
- CasparCG sends NDI (recived with NDI Tools Studio Monitor)
if CasparCG is not sending NDI are there under channel added NDI in the config-file?
my channels in my NDI-config-file
<channels>
<channel>

<allow-fields>false</allow-fields>
</ndi>
</consumers>

</channels>
Please!!! Why has nobody ever found the button </> to format the configs?
By the way you have the lines:
<sbs-key>false [true|false]</sbs-key>
<colour-space>RGB [RGB|datavideo-full|datavideo-limited] (Enables colour space convertion for DataVideo TC-100 / TC-200)</colour-space>
That is wrong, they have been copied from the instruction part bellow, whitout editing. XML (that’s what the config is) does not know what to do with these [ blabla ] parts. To be valid it should lock something like that:
<sbs-key>false</sbs-key>
<colour-space>RGB</colour-space>
Hey guys. Apologies for not including more in my question.
System:

Thanks. Here is my config:

When it runs, the server window reports “Invalid consumer: ndi”
I’ll post the log file as well in another reply. Thanks.

Please format your code with the </> button.
You are running a years-old version. Latest stable releases are now 2.3.x
Go to the project’s GitHub to get the latest releases:
Thanks. Up and running. Much appreciated! Any problem running the server on the same box as OBS? I have other alternatives but wanted to know.
First of all. As @rrebuffo already mentioned: There is that </> button sitting at the top of the editor. It is not for decoration. Selecting text in the editor and then clicking it makes these nice scroll able windows with proper formatting and colors etc.
Second in 2.0.7 it is called different:
<newtek-ivga>
<channel-layout>stereo</channel-layout>
<provide-sync>true</provide-sync>
</newtek-ivga>
Yeah. I know about that button and pasted my code as such. The log file I didn’t because it’s not code. Thanks.
No, you did not, I edited your post and it had a > instead of the ...
Well, that wasn’t my intent. I used the button and must have deleted the code character. My bad. However, as a new user here, I don’t appreciate your tone or the lecture. A simple note would have sufficed. In any case, thanks for the help.
You are right, sorry. Problem is, that I do that every day multiple times and slowly got annoyed. It seems that no one ever cares about that and it is simply a big mess and impossible to read without it.
Be aware, that no one of us gets money for helping other users and so it would help a lot, if people could simply help us help them.
I totally understand and can appreciate every bit of that. All good.
BTW - This is an amazing product and any help that you give on it is spectacular. Learning as we are moving forward with a large, cloud-based OTT project. This is going to be a great help! Thanks again.
