Issue #62: 2 PC Stream issue: Black screen on streaming PC: VERY LONG and DETAILED POST
Created: 2017-10-11T09:44:09Z
I checked all the issue both open and closed to see if it is already fix or already posted:
#31 and #32 solution didn't work for me (more info below).
#49 and #50 kinda same problem but I am using windows.
#54 kinda same problem but with different setup (more info below).
#58 not the same problem because my PC1(gaming pc) SHOWS UP on the sources on the PC2(streaming pc) but showing a black screen.
I have 1 Gaming PC and 1 Laptop for streaming.
Setup
Both my pc and laptop are connected in the same network that support gigabit connection.
Both are using Lan Cable Cat5e that support gigabit connection
Both are running in windows 10
Both are running OBS 20.0.1 64 bit version
Both are running obs-ndi-4.1.3
Both have a resolution of 1364x768
Both windows 10 are up to date including drivers.
Both are using intel core I5 and base on my research it support ssse3
Specs
Gaming PC
CPU: Intel I5 6th Gen
GPU: GTX 750ti
Ram: 8 GB
HDD: 1 T
Streaming Laptop

Problem
NDI Source on my STREAMING PC can discover my GAMING PC but it only shows a black screen with a red dot on top left corner.
NDI Source on my GAMING PC can discover my STREAMING PC and it works properly with no problem.
I tried:

To disable windows firewall on both pc like the solution on #31 and #32 , but the problem still exist.
To used the NDI studio monitor on my streaming pc and it works perfectly fine (it can capture both video and audio), but the obs still showing a black screen.
To connect the lan cable directly from my pc to my laptop but the problem still exist (so its not a router issue).
To check low bandwidth, problem is still there.
Re-install both the obs and obs-ndi, but problem is still there.
Disable avast anti virus on my gaming pc (because my avast has a firewall setting so I thought it might be the problem), but still the problem didn't go away. Streaming PC is freshly installed so there are no antivirus and have plenty of free space.
Change my router (my ISP company provided me a new router LOL). problem is still there.
Tried to format and Upgrade OS on my streaming PC, when i first tried the obs-ndi-4.1.3 the other day, my streaming PC has a windows 7 ultimate and it shows black screen so I thought it might be because I am running a windows 7 version when my gaming PC is running windows 10. So I decided to format my HDD and install a fresh windows 10, but with no luck the problem still exist.
Tried to used a static IP and change my dns (because one of the users from 1 of the post suggested it) but problem is still there.
used a new cat5e lan cable (included from the new router provided but my ISP), problem is still there.

IMPORTANT NOTES:
there is a 1 time, for some reason my streaming pc suddenly shows a video instead of a black screen (shows my gaming PC Display) but after a couple of minutes the video freezes, when I tried to delete and add NDI source, black screen shows up again.
feel free to ask more about it or if I can provide more information like logs or something.

Ayo lads!
The whole setup has worked for 20+ hours like a charm, without any problems, it has been pure pleasure actually. But a couple of days ago when I started both computers up as usual, it did not frickin work. Nothing has been changed, done, installed or anything on either of the computers. It has just aprubt stopped working.
The problem is that I can find the Gaming PC as a source on the Streaming PC, both in NDI monitor and OBS, but I dont get any image or audio.
The setup is connected through a 1GBps switch, and as I said, it has worked as a charm untill just now. I have tried a reinstall, tried with the firewall off on both computers, tinkering with all the  but I cant get any NDI fotage through whatsoever.
Here when testing both ways with NDI Monitor and tester.

As I said, its not the firewall as far as I can tell, since I have tried to run it 10 times with the firewall off on both computers. After tinkering for abit, with no luck to once again restore the flawless state that the entire setup was in, I tried to reinstall both obs and ndi, with no luck yet again.
Mediasharing is on.

Whats the next approach in getting this getting back on track? What should I do?
Best and most festive regards,
