Been live streaming character animator using obs and ndi tools for years and suddenly it seems like Character animator is no longer found as a source on my NDI tools. I have Mercury Tranmit checked and the NDI output box checked but still get nothing in NDI. I have reinstalled both programs mutiple times I have the NewTek_NDI_Transmit and NewTek_Import_SpeedHQ files in my Adobe Medicore plug-ins I have also deleted them and reinstalled them and still no luck.

As I recall, installing Premiere or After Effects while NDI is installed forces the necessary plugin for CH to be installed. But then you have to uninstall and reinstall NDI.

Prior to posting my first message I tried uninsalling NDI Premiere After Effects and Character Animator then reinstalled the adobe programs and restarted before reinstalling NDI 6 and I am still expreincing the same issue. I will give it another shot soon.

Okay, I think something's not getting installed properly. I've tried what they suggest here: Solved: Newtek NDI plugin not available in Character Anima... - Adobe Community - 10854457 Install Premiere or After Effects, then uninstall and reinstall NDI Tools. It worked for me.

What version of NDI are you using? It's changed quite a bit. The current version has you using the Webcam plugin to stream your CH animation. You still need to enable Mercury Transmit and NDI in your CH settings. Thenopen up the NDI Webcam app and select your CH output for the first webcam. Finally, In your streaming app, choose NDI for your camera.
