Hi All! I'm very new to the world of streaming from OBS products, so let me briefly explain my setup.
I am trying to stream PS4 gameplay from an Elgato HD60S using SLOBS to Twitch. I'm on a fairly powerful Macbook Pro, so granted it's not a match made in heaven, compatibility wise. But using OBS Link, and the latest versions of NDI plugins, I can add an NDI source to SLOBS for my PS4 feed with game audio. It seems to work just fine for stretches.
Then, after a few minutes, the audio chops up and dies -- like the sound of a CD player running out of its batteries. Choppy for a few seconds, then silence. If I manually toggle from Analog sound to HDMI and then back to Analog within OBS Link, it seems to wake it up for the time being. But the problem is persistent, and as far as I can tell, is not related to my CPU or GPU being overly strained (it's a 2019 Macbook Pro with an 8-core processor). What is noteworthy is that using the Elgato HD Capture software, I see no drops in the audio for as long as I monitor it. The problem appears to be clearly related to the NDI Source.
I am NOT yet using an ethernet cable (didn't have one long enough!), so I've been running on good-but-not-blazing Wifi thus far. Since these problems come up before I even stream, I was assuming my internet speed didn't really matter. But the more I research, the more it seems that my internal network speed actually COULD matter in this setup, and may be causing the audio drops from the NDI Source.
So, in short -- can anyone with experience using these technologies confirm whether my problem sounds like a network/bandwidth related problem or not? Thanks a bunch.

Poco man game. Srx orchestra vst. NDI® (Network Device Interface) technology allows you to broadcast the audio and video streams from a Teams meeting to your local network. When using NewTek NDI® technology in a Teams meeting, you will have unique video steams on the network that can be used in your own production. Oct 30, 2019 - The Macs can select the PC as an NDI source (so output is working on the PC, just not input) I unfortunately don't have another PC to test with, so I'm not sure if this is a cross-platform issue or something borked with NDI input into the machine, but it's strange that only the Mac-PC source isn't visible.

- Source Code URL
- https://github.com/Palakis/obs-ndi
- Minimum OBS Studio Version
- 21.0.0
- Supported Platforms
- Windows, Mac OS X, Linux
This plugin adds simple audio/video input and output over IP using NewTek's NDI™ technology.
Three integrations are currently available:
- NDI Source: add NDI Sources into OBS like any traditional source
- NDI Output: transmit the main program view over NDI
- NDI Filter: a special OBS filter that outputs its parent OBS source to NDI (audio works only with video capture sources, media sources and VLC sources)
This plugin requires the NDI 3.0 Runtime to be installed on your system. See installation instructions on the Downloads page for more details.
