Add quotes to the input path if it has any spaces.
PLAY 1-1 "ndi://ITL/Test Pattern"
1 Like
Or, if that doesn’t work either, try:
PLAY 1-1 [NDI] "ITL (Test Pattern)"
maybe Your sever version was 2.2.0，I had the same problem in 2.2.0 ，then I tried 2.3.0，it’s woked fine.
Hi
Is the input path the same that NDIAnalysis give if you write “NDIAnalysis.exe /find”
I use the ndi studio monitor to identify the name of the ndi source，
the example amcp protocol to add a ndi source is：PLAY 1-1 "ndi://ITL/Test Pattern"
don’t forget thequote. Then,you can see the picture below, substitute the ITL with “LIVEPC”and the Test Pattern with “NVIDIA…”

Looks like you are running an older version.
I have CasparCg Srver 2.0.7 & Client 2.0.8 which is latest - is that I need same server / client version?
Secondly, the NDI source is running from another pc not from the same machine where CasparCG is installed I can see the source is working fine in NDI monitor.
Server 2.0.7 does not support NDI input. Please try 2.2 or 2.3
video layer showing in my Casparcg client is 10, should I use STOP 10-1 and same as in the case Play 10-1? (I am unable to change video layer in custom command)

Its CHANNEL-LAYER so 1-10 (your log output shows PLAY 1-1 though)
still nothing happens, don’t know what is going wrong as the console didn’t give me any error
Type NDI LIST in Caspars console window and see, if the source is present, and how the actual spelling needs to be.
NDI LIST shows complete set of NDI sources available, but when I want to play it said source currently not available, meanwhile the same source is playing well in vMix & Wirecast (logs below)

Is the media scanner running? If yes you have some firewall issue, that probably also stops NDI.

On the second command you missed the last bracket. Does that makes a difference?
tried with / without brackets, same issue nothing happens, any idea?
The name reported by the NDI LIST command needs to be sighly modified when used in the play command. it needs a "ndi://computer_name/source_name" format of URL. Using your eample of “DESKTOP-DNIP730 (vMix - Output 3)” as the example here, the computer_name is “DESKTOP-DNIP730” and the source_ name is the part in brackets but without the brackets. Try the command:
PLAY 1-10 "ndi://DESKTOP-DNIP730/vMix - Output 3"
I assume the output from vMix is using the same scan standard as the CasparCG channel you are using to play the source. CasparCG only supports the standard scan formats so sending a 1300 x 800 signal will not show the signal, whilst it may be shown by the NDI Video Monitor Tool.
When I play an NDI source off a computer on my network I initally see the “source currently not available” message in the log, but the NDI source is displayed a few seconds later once the NDI negotiations about format and quality have completed.

I’ve been testing NDI Bridge lately, to deal with NDI outside your local network. I think that means that there is an extra step in the address (Group + computer_name + source_name), it should be just an extra slash, right? I cannot seem to find the way to make it work, and I wonder if it’s a server limitation.

“TEST” is the name I gave to the NDI Bridge group to receive it. When I open NDI Monitor I can go to TEST / LAPTOP…/ Rotulos and see the source with no problem.
but with Caspar 2.3.3 I keep getting “Source currently not available”.
If anyone gets different results let us know!
Thanks
