Does not support ARM

Open o-reo opened this issue 5 years ago • 8 comments

As the Newtek SDK does not support NDI receivers on ARM devices I feel it could be written in the readme as well. The plugin would simply output nothing without any message so it can be tricky to understand why.

What do you mean it would output nothing without any message? Shouldn't it fail to build?

It seems the function exists but no buffer are received. The SDK does not have a FPGA decoder on ARM yet.

I see. I'd take that up with Newtek though. The SDK is simply broken if it provides functionality that does not work at all.

If you want to provide a PR to work around that on the plugin side, please go ahead though :)

The Newtek SDK has binaries for the Raspberry Pi so surely it does support ARM devices?

Hi, does it have a working receiver ? As of now only the sender works on arm.

While that's true, how is is related to this project? Take that up with Newtek please :)

It must do as I have ffmpeg with NDI support working as a receiver on Raspberry Pi (albeit rather choppy).

I found this issue as I'd quite like to try using this project to make a better NDI receiver for the Raspberry Pi using gstreamer with smoother video than I'm currently getting with ffmpeg. I need OMX support (gst-omx ;) ) and direct output to the framebuffer I think...

Anyway, I have no idea if it will work yet as I haven't got into it but I just wanted to point out that the NDI SDK is at least RPi ARM compatible and I guess this project should be too then?

As long as the SDK has the same API and supports receiving of streams, sure.
