Can't get NDI plugin to show up, version 28.1.2 64 bit

Hi all, yes another thread asking for help with this. I tried what I could find in other threads. Below is my current log file, a screenshot of my source options without NDI on the list, and a screenshot of my library OBS plugin folder that seems to show the NDI plugin is in there. Thanks for any help!

apologize for the bump but this was originally posted saturday and just approved so it started way off the top

I really am quite sorry but I've read through about a dozen other threads about this issue and tried fixes with installs and Terminal code and nothing has brought the NDI option into my sources for OBS inputs.

This is a fresh log file

Hello. I posted this in my thread, I was having a similar issue.




I did get NDI Source to appear. If I can recall the steps I took:

Uninstalled OBS and OBS Link
Went into Macintosh HD > Library > Application Support and deleted the folder "obs-studio"
Restarted Computer (don't know if this is necessary)
Download & Install OBS Link. Open OBS Link to ensure that it pops up saying NDI tools plugin needs to be downloaded
Exit OBS Link
Download and Install NDI Runtime 4.5.1
Download and Install NDI 4.9.0
THEN Download and Install NDI 4.10.0
Open OBS Link to ensure that it recognizes NDI Tools Plugin as installed (meaning, you should not get the previous error message)
Download OBS 28.1.2

Open and you should be able to see NDI Sources in your OBS menu again

What I noticed is that NDI 4.10.0 does not install a "obs-ndi" folder in Application Support > obs-studio, but NDI 4.9.0 does install this folder.

Now the issue I am having is static in my audio :-(

Thanks that seemed to work

Click to expand...

The problem you are having is a known problem. It's in your right channel, that static/ distorted sound. That's a problem of this plugin, I check EVERY DAY if there are advances in the plugin project... I'm waiting for more than 3 months. I found a sollution, one of this days I'll make e a video explaining everything. But the sollution is not only with OBS, you have to have NDI TOOLS and use NDI VIRTUAL INPUT software. Try and explore, I´ll present all this solution, in some days.
