macOS errors

[moebiussurfing]

Hello @leadedge ,

Should the add-on work on macOS?
Should I make some special setup?

I am on Big Sur Xcode 13,

it compiles but crashes when opening on:

// Get NDI dll version number
std::string ofxNDIsender::GetNDIversion()
{
	return NDIsender.GetNDIversion();
}

// Get the current NDI SDK version
std::string ofxNDIsend::GetNDIversion()
{
     return p_NDILib->version();
}

I can only build for Windows. But other people have contributed for MacOS and it works OK for them. It should be fine for Openframeworks without any special setup.

I haven't had any reports of this problem. Does it crash before returning the string or is the string null? Also you could check that p_NDILib is not null. It should show the methods available.

here I am using of_v0.11.2_osx_release

It looks like the NDI library has not loaded.
Try installing the NDI runtime

Thanks.
That link points to a .exe / windows.
That runtime is the SDK? or NDI Tools is enough?
I reinstalled NDI Tools to the last one from the site, but I am getting the same.

I found that repo:
https://ndi.palakis.fr/runtime/

[leadedge]

The package for NDI 5 should work. The Tools might install it too, so the problem could still be there.

ofxNDIdynloader::Load() has some text output you could trace.

[moebiussurfing]

it worked after installed that pkg
ndi-runtime-5.0-macOS.pkg
I didn´t know about that runtime.
always installed NDI Tools and worked on Windows.

[leadedge]

OK that's a good result. Maybe the runtime is installed with the SDK rather than the Tools. I can't test but I will see what I can find.

[leadedge]

From an old install of the NDI SDK for Windows, "NDI 5 Runtime.exe" is contained in a "NDI 5 SDK\Redist" folder.

I have another folder "NDI 5 Runtime" as well as "NDI 5 SDK" but that contains only the dll files. I am not sure what happens with MacOs. The NDI webpage does not mention the runtime at all as far as I can see.
