server VS vingester

casparcg with SuperConductor if you want fully free

There's a thread about that here: https://github.com/CasparCG/server/issues/562

Please see https://github.com/CasparCG/server/issues/1235 for updates on development regarding the chromium version. Version 95 should be in the next release (IIRC a release hasn't been done since that was merged but I could be wrong)

for making a playlist and playing out on NDI have a look at SuperConductor which will control playout on CasparCG

Another consideration is, if you are usually capturing the exact same web page (like perhaps a stream elements overlay or similar) is to use Vingster.app (free and open source) which says it also works for Mac.

I use: https://vingester.app/ (free)

there is Vingester if that's something you do often but I find that I'm doing a lot of that work with a browser source inside OBS now

also don't do anything else on your computer while recording, and I'd recommend using something like (free) Vingester to make it easier to capture the window.

You could use an app like https://vingester.app/ to create an NDI stream of each page and convert those to SDI using the many Birddog/magewell/Kiloview options.

I work overlays in streaming with SPX-GC (https://github.com/TuomoKu/SPX-GC) which feeds HTML via a virtual server and read those with Vingester (https://vingester.app/), a headless browser, to NDI. There are other tools that do this for framesharing like SPOUT (https://ultralig.ht/) and pretty sure something for an apple variant (Syphon has been suspended, right?)

I found the soluction which works really, i mean - REALLY - good. On mixer side I use Vingerster https://vingester.app/ to get the video (it can emulate OBS, which i required to get data from Ninja). Vingester outputs the video to NDI and that I can get the stream to OBS on main mixing comupter. The video is flawless, no jagging.

You can also just capture the desktop-audio or use https://vingester.app/ (vingester) to capture audio/video from VDO.Ninja. Apps like Vmix and probably Manycam support VDO.Ninja, and would also I'd imagine bypass the problem, rather than using OBS directly for browser capture.

So, I've been using VDO.Ninja and Vingester to pull WebRTC live video from anyone using the Chrome Browser and into a wireframed OBS Studio environment for my live production, and it works beautifully. The issue though is I have a client that wants something more "user friendly" for guests - and they are willing to pay for it. I've been doing some research, and I see Cicso Webex a lot.

Since I first started to put together this workflow, I've been revising it to make it leaner and more robust. I wanted to share the latest iteration of this guide - one that uses the Vingester + OBS Window Capture method for my sources, as well as some great plugins I've come across.
