Static libraries for 6.3.1 SDK?

We are just getting started with the 6.3.1 SDK, and our preference would be to statically link the NDI library into our app. But the windows 6.3.1 SDK does not appear to include static libraries.

NDI 6 SDK/Lib/x64/Processing.NDI.Lib.x64.lib is an *import* library, which only provides the interface stubs and still requires the .dll be colocated with the executable to function.

The same is true on MacOS; only a dylib is provided.

The SDK documentation on page 7, section 6 “Dynamic Loading of Libraries” implies that dynamic loading is optional:

At times you might prefer not to link directly to the NDI libraries, loading them dynamically at run time instead. This can be of value in open source projects.

Is it possible for you to provide actual static libraries for both Windows and MacOS?

Also, is there a git repo available for the SDK that we could integrate as a submodule, or a download page where we can access previous versions of the SDK?

Thank you,

-Frank

NDI Virtual Input: Audio Still Not on Output

Hey all, I've noticed that we still aren't able to get any audio coming through NDIVI at all. Video works fantastic but the audio doesn't carry through.

Any update on if this is actively being worked on? We use it often to swap feeds from our big virtual zoom meetings. Thanks!

Sleep to Resume Issue

Hi Community,

I am running an SDK 6.3 based Linux application in a Virtual Machine under Hyper-V in Windows 11, which controls and monitors receivers.

My discovery server is running in Windows 11 and all is well and connected. Then, I put the PC in sleep mode and resume after a while.

My application in Linux stays in connected to discovery server but I stop getting events for Monitoring, i.e. recv_listener_get_events stops sending new events.

I sometimes loose recv_listener_send_connect capability, too.

I am doing unsubscribe and subscribe before get_events, but that does not fix the issue.

If I do recv_listener_destroy and recv_listener_create_ex, all works fine again.

If there are recommendations to try, I appreciate it.

So far, my only genius idea is to manually do recv_listener_destroy, recv_listener_create_ex sequence. But that requires user intervention.

Best,

Erkan
