obs-ndi 4.11.0-RC Pre-release
Pre-release

RELEASE CANDIDATE

Please test this binary and use the Discussion thread to let me know of any problems or feedback.

  • Requires OBS28+
  • Requires NDI5
  • Fixes audio glitch bug(s)

Perhaps I should update the readme with install instructions (especially for Linux)?

If you are a user that wants to stay on OBS27, please use the Discussion thread and let me know so that I can prioritize releasing a pre-obs28 version.

Compare
Choose a tag to compare

This release is for OBS 28.0.0 or above. It is not a feature release, it simply provides updated binaries to support the changes made in OBS 28

The Ubuntu binaries are for OBS 28, but are compiled for Qt5 on Ubuntu 20.04. Binaries for 22.04 and Qt6 are not currently available.

The macOS binaries are for OBS 28 and Qt6, but you will likely not be able to use this version on ARM machines due to libndi 4 not providing support for ARM.

Windows

  • Using the installer (recommended) : download it, launch it and follow the instructions.
  • Using the obs-ndi-4.10.0-Qt6-Windows.zip archive:
    1. Copy the contents of the archive to the root of your OBS Studio installation folder
    2. Install the NDI 4.5 Windows runtime using the installer provided here: https://ndi.palakis.fr/runtime/ndi-runtime-4.5.1-Windows.exe

On Windows, you must reboot your computer to make a new or updated NDI Runtime installation effective

Ubuntu/Debian (Qt5)

Download libndi4_4.5.1-1_amd64.deb and obs-ndi-4.10.0-Ubuntu64.deb (both are provided below), and install them on your system.

macOS

  1. Download and run obs-ndi-4.10.0-Qt6-macOS.pkg (provided below)
  2. Install the NDI 4.5.1 macOS runtime using the installer provided here: https://ndi.palakis.fr/runtime/ndi-runtime-4.5.1-macOS.pkg

(P.S. Thanks to @DDRBoxman for the binaries here and getting us by for the time being while 5.x is in development!)

Only use this release with OBS Studio v25 or above!

Changes since 4.8.0

  • Improvements to the NDI Source (#459):
    • The "Sync" setting now defaults to "Source Timing"
      • This is the best option to keep audio and video synced together, and it has been tested against OBS and vMix with successful results.
    • Among the options of the "Sync" source parameter, the "Internal" sync option has been removed
      • This mode never actually worked and is fundamentally flawed.
  • All platforms now target OBS v25 or above (including you, macOS users!)
  • Feature: Russian translation (#443)
  • Bugfix: the Ubuntu/Debian package now only installs the plugin into /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/obs-plugins (#460)

  • Using the installer (recommended) : download it, launch it and follow the instructions.

Only use this release with OBS Studio v25 (v24 on macOS) or above!

Changes since 4.7.1

Features & Improvements

  • NDI 4.5 support (#416)
    • On macOS, you need to install the NDI 4.5 runtime manually! (download link below)
  • Spanish localization (thanks @COOLIGUAY in #357)

Bug fixes

  • Bugfix: The NDI Output Settings dialog wasn't always showing text input fields for the Program & Preview output names (#373)
  • Bugfix: NDI runtime download issues on Windows. The obs-ndi installer now downloads the runtime from a mirror I manage to prevent download errors that cause failed installs (#140)
  • A myriad of macOS bugfixes:
    • The plugin wasn't loading because of a problem with how macOS looks for plugin dependencies (#409)
    • With NDI 4.5 installed on the system, obs-ndi 4.7.1 would crash. This is now fixed with the addition of NDI 4.5 support.
    • The obs-ndi installer could fail to download the NDI runtime because of download server issues, or could fail to install it because it is not digitally signed. This step has been removed. macOS users now have to download & install the NDI 4.5 runtime separately (links provided below).
    • In addition to being digitally signed, the obs-ndi installer is now also notarized by Apple. This should eliminate "malicious software" prompts on Catalina.

Install instructions

Windows

  • Using the installer (recommended) : download it, launch it and follow the instructions.
  • Using the obs-ndi-4.8.0-Windows.zip archive:
    1. Copy the contents of the archive to the root of your OBS Studio installation folder
    2. Install the NDI 4.5 Windows runtime using the installer provided here: https://ndi.palakis.fr/runtime/ndi-runtime-4.5.1-Windows.exe

On Windows, you must reboot your computer to make a new or updated NDI Runtime installation effective

Ubuntu/Debian

Download libndi4_4.5.1-1_amd64.deb and obs-ndi_4.8.0-1_amd64.deb (both are provided below), and install them on your system.

macOS

Starting with obs-ndi 4.8.0, the NDI runtime is not installed automatically anymore.

  1. Download and run obs-ndi-4.8.0-macOS.pkg (provided below)
  2. Install the NDI 4.5.1 macOS runtime using the installer provided here: https://ndi.palakis.fr/runtime/ndi-runtime-4.5.1-macOS.pkg

Only use this release with OBS 24 or above!

Changes since 4.7.0

  • Windows installer: the NDI runtime installation is now a separate component that can be disabled if you don't want the runtime automatically installed
  • macOS: fixes for OBS Studio 24.0.3 and Catalina compatibility

Install instructions

Windows

  • Using the installer (recommended) : download it, launch it and follow the instructions.
  • Using the obs-ndi-4.7.1-Windows.zip archive : copy the contents of the archive to the root of your OBS Studio installation folder, and download and install the NDI 4.0+ Runtime if you haven't already.

On Windows, you must reboot your computer to make a new or updated NDI Runtime installation effective

Ubuntu/Debian

  • Manual install (64-bit only): Download libndi3_4.0.0-1_amd64.deb and obs-ndi_4.7.1-1_amd64.deb, and install them on your system.
  • PPA: not yet available

macOS

Download and run obs-ndi-4.7.1-macOS.pkg. This will install both the plugin and the NDI 4.0+ Runtime. On macOS Catalina (or if it doesn't install the NDI runtime automatically), you'll have to download and install the NDI runtime manually: download it here.
Note: the installer package is digitally signed, so macOS shouldn't complain. However, if it is the case and a security alert pops up when trying to launch the installer, go to the "Security & Privacy" panel in OS X Settings and click "Open Anyway".
