NDISender - Performance

Hi everyone, I've just setup everything to have a NDISender on some of my scenes so that OBS can do some overrides of the MMV playlists (swapping OBS scene for one that takes NDISender instead of MMV Spout) There is a significant performance drop when fetching NDI sender instead of SpoutV2.

Hi everyone, I've been using the video stream media input and I've noticed that when using two URL streams (it's the internal URL from droidcamX which is a phone to PC video stream), the image tends to either NOT load or freeze after a few minutes in MMV.

Re: GPU Selection for dedicated MMV & Stream PC

I just recently upgraded to a RTX3080, and i can absolutely crazy things BUT, there is a limit. Esp with rendering that is use into a rendering, into a rendering into a rendering..... Very recursive re-use of existing scenes can tend to make it rough on the GPU (even an RTX3080!)
