GStreamer NDI Plugin for Linux

Compiled and tested with NDI SDK 4.0, 4.1 and 5.0

This is a plugin for the GStreamer multimedia framework that allows GStreamer to receive a stream from a NDI source. This plugin has been developed by Teltek and was funded by the University of the Arts London and The University of Manchester.

Currently the plugin has a source element for receiving from NDI sources, a sink element to provide an NDI source and a device provider for discovering NDI sources on the network.

Some examples of how to use these elements from the command line:

# Information about the elements
$ gst-inspect-1.0 ndi
$ gst-inspect-1.0 ndisrc
$ gst-inspect-1.0 ndisink

# Discover all NDI sources on the network
$ gst-device-monitor-1.0 -f Source/Network:application/x-ndi

# Audio/Video source pipeline
$ gst-launch-1.0 ndisrc ndi-name="GC-DEV2 (OBS)" ! ndisrcdemux name=demux   demux.video ! queue ! videoconvert ! autovideosink  demux.audio ! queue ! audioconvert ! autoaudiosink

# Audio/Video sink pipeline
$ gst-launch-1.0 videotestsrc is-live=true ! video/x-raw,format=UYVY ! ndisinkcombiner name=combiner ! ndisink ndi-name="My NDI source"  audiotestsrc is-live=true ! combiner.audio

Feel free to contribute to this project. Some ways you can contribute are:

  • Testing with more hardware and software and reporting bugs
  • Doing pull requests.

Compilation of the NDI element

To compile the NDI element it's necessary to install Rust, the NDI SDK and the following packages for gstreamer:

$ apt-get install libgstreamer1.0-dev libgstreamer-plugins-base1.0-dev \
      gstreamer1.0-plugins-base

To install the required NDI library there are two options:

  1. Download NDI SDK from NDI website and move the library to the correct location.
  2. Use a deb package made by the community. Thanks to NDI plugin for OBS.

To install Rust, you can follow their documentation: https://www.rust-lang.org/en-US/install.html

Once all requirements are met, you can build the plugin by executing the following command from the project root folder:

cargo build
export GST_PLUGIN_PATH=`pwd`/target/debug
gst-inspect-1.0 ndi

By default GStreamer 1.18 is required, to use an older version. You can build with $ cargo build --no-default-features --features whatever_you_want_to_enable_of_the_above_features

If all went ok, you should see info related to the NDI element. To make the plugin available without using GST_PLUGIN_PATH it's necessary to copy the plugin to the gstreamer plugins folder.

$ cargo build --release
$ sudo install -o root -g root -m 644 target/release/libgstndi.so /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gstreamer-1.0/
$ sudo ldconfig
$ gst-inspect-1.0 ndi
