[support] OBS-NDI

[patrickstigler]

Interesting point, I will check that. But I guess that would mean if you turn off the preview window it should drop the load?! And I think that is not the case.

I will check if I can find something in the obs documentation.

[patrickstigler]

So I got 10% less load without the preview. And it must be something with the views. But at least for now I haven't found anything usefull on the git issues. 

Some say it could be about the colorspace - but I tested that.

You must be in the same subnet. Than it will work. Just define your container within the same Subnet i.e. 192.168.0.X

That is the exact way I am using it. 

Sometimes it can take a bit till your Desktop will be found. (Have you enabled it on your desktop?)

Hi would you please help.

 

I am trying receive ndi streams inside docker container but obs studio doesn't see any ndi source from outside. I try to setup Subnet but it doesn't help.

 

Let me know please does your obs studio inside docker see outside ndi source?

 

what ports do you share with host

i am expose ports docker run --shm-size=256m -it --expose 5353 --expose 5353/udp -p 5900:5900 -p 5901:5901 -p 5910:5910 -e VNC_PASSWD=123456 daedilus1/docker-obs-ndi:latest

[patrickstigler]

As far as I know it does not work with exposed ports. You have to create a bridged interface in your subnet.

 

So if you IP is 192.168.0.[something] it must be 192.168.0.[a free IP] like 192.168.0.200

Very interested in this Docker, but how would I go about adding plugins, i.e. SteamFx and Teleport? I get the container is called NDI, but not sure how to really add this in. I get the same subnet rules apply, and other constraints. I'm not new to administering dockers, but modification is a rough one for me still.

[patrickstigler]

Either you should be able to mount the folder as a drive to add your addons. But I could also build a new version of it. I also use some addons. So I might release a new build with more addons.

Any chance you could add the obs-multi-rtmp plugin? https://github.com/sorayuki/obs-multi-rtmp, advanced scene switcher https://github.com/WarmUpTill/SceneSwitcher, and the WebSockets Server Settings https://github.com/obsproject/obs-websocket plugins?

 

Thanks!

[LeeNeighoff]

I feel like I'm missing something simple here. My container is experiencing a slow network connection. When I set my NDI bandwidth to lowest, everything in OBS is smooth. But, when I set it to highest, both the audio and video hang every few seconds. I have a VM running on br0 as well, but it doesn't use much bandwidth. I tried setting the container to use bridge, host, and another custom network, but I could not get it to see my NDI source on any of them, so I can't really continue troubleshooting.

 

Checking Task Manager on the source PC shows that NDI isn't using more than 120 Mbps on a gigabit LAN connection. The source PC and unRAID server are connected to the same switch and router.

Thanks!

Sorry for the delay. 

 

I just saw some pull requests. I gonna fix the image soon and also add some plugins.

 

@LeeNeighoff

Unfortunately I got the same problem. But I can't really see a solution for that. .... yet.

@patrickstigler

I am having issues trying to find my ndi source from my windows pc on the obs docker. I am able to ping obs docker but am not able to ping my windows pc from docker. My windows PC is on a separate subnet but they both are reachable and can talk to eachother. 

[slimshizn]

Seems like the recent release broke it(for me). Tried running a fresh install. Not getting anywhere.

 

[patrickstigler]

@slimshiznThanks - I guess you mean the Browserview. 

I just realized it. I am usally using a VNC client, but I will fix it.

The websocket server plugin is now a part of the OBS program and no longer a plugin

Hi, I've updated unraid to latest version and downloaded latest update for obs-ndi but I'm not able to connect to novnc client. From checking the logs, not sure if the two lines were throwing an error before, but I see the error message below.

 

/usr/bin/xauth:  file /root/.Xauthority does not exist
/opt/container_startup.sh: line 8: /opt/noVNC/utils/launch.sh: No such file or directory

I have the same issue now. Sorry for that. I realized it too late. It's just the webserver for the webVNC. As a workaround (my default way to connect). Is a full vnc client. With that you shoudn't have a problem.

 

I created a dev branch and will fix it soon-ish.

[Evidenz]

Since the last update I did I get this error and cannot record anymore?

 

[SeHansson]

I feel so stupid. I can't access the webui. The app is running. What have I done wrong?

[scooterbaga]

Hello,

 

Looks like the NVIDIA_VISIBLE_DEVICES default value is "YOUR-GPU-IP". Should that be "YOUR-GPU-ID"?

 

Had me trying to figure out which IP address to put there.

[Dirtyrobot]

I'm looking to use Intel Quicksync but I don't see a hardware option in OBS. I've probably missed a step somewhere. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

[scooterbaga]

WebUI didn't work for me on last version, and it seemed like other comments said "wait for an update". After updating to the latest, I see this:

 

Quote

Warning: could not find self.pem
Using local websockify at /opt/noVNC/utils/websockify/run
Starting webserver and WebSockets proxy on port 5901
Failed to start WebSockets proxy

 

Any help would be great. Let me know if I can provide more info. Thanks.

Same! Any update would be super appreciated.

[patrickstigler]

Sorry for the long delay.

 

But now I rebuilded the whole container on a new base image. So I hope the regular updates for instance the NVC will come with that image. 

 

I will update the instructions in unraid as well (app template), since I changed some ports and variables.  (takes around 2h)

@z0nik @Japesg @SeHansson @Evidenz

 @scooterbaga

Thanks for the hint - I fixed the GPU IP by setting it as required field and added a note.

Much appreciated! I will have a look.

[Evidenz]

Correct me if I am wrong but I recall that I always used NVIDIA NVENC HEVC up until a point it did not work anymore?

 

Nowadays when I try to record something with it selected as the encoder I receive this error (also with the previous build)
