+# NDI Output for PNGTuber-Plus
+
+This guide explains how to use the NDI (Network Device Interface) output feature in PNGTuber-Plus to stream your avatar to OBS Studio or other NDI-compatible applications.
+
+## Requirements
+
+1. **NDI Runtime**: Download and install the NDI Runtime from [NDI website](http://ndi.link/NDIRedistV6)
+   - Windows: [NDI Runtime for Windows](http://ndi.link/NDIRedistV6)
+   - macOS: [NDI Runtime for macOS](http://ndi.link/NDIRedistV6Apple)
+   - Linux: [NDI Runtime for Linux](https://github.com/DistroAV/DistroAV/wiki/1.-Installation#linux) (Note: Flatpak incompatible)
+
+2. **Godot 4.4-stable or later**: This plugin requires Godot 4.4+ to function properly
+
+3. **NDI-compatible software**: Such as OBS Studio with NDI plugin, vMix, Wirecast, etc.
+
+## Features
+
+- **Real-time NDI streaming**: Stream your PNGTuber avatar over the network
+- **Audio support**: Include system audio in the NDI stream (optional)
+- **Customizable source name**: Set a custom name for your NDI source
+- **Hotkey controls**: Quick toggle streaming with keyboard shortcuts
+- **Settings UI**: Easy configuration through the settings menu
+
+## Getting Started
+
+### 1. Basic Setup
+
+The NDI output is automatically enabled when you start PNGTuber-Plus. The default settings are:
+- **Source Name**: "PNGTuber-Plus"
+- **Audio**: Enabled (Master bus)
+- **Auto-start**: Enabled
+
+### 2. Settings Menu Configuration
+
+Access the NDI settings through the Settings Menu:
+
+1. Click the settings wheel in PNGTuber-Plus
+2. Scroll down to find the "NDI streaming" section
+3. Configure the following options:
+   - **NDI streaming**: Enable/disable NDI output
+   - **Source name**: Set a custom name for your NDI source (default: "PNGTuber-Plus")
+   - **Include audio**: Toggle audio streaming on/off
+   - **Status**: View current streaming status
+   - **Start/Stop NDI**: Manual control button
+
+### 3. Hotkey Controls
+
+Quick keyboard shortcuts for NDI control:
+- **F9**: Toggle NDI streaming on/off
+- **F10**: Restart NDI streaming (useful for applying new settings)
+
+### 4. OBS Studio Setup
+
+To capture the NDI stream in OBS Studio:
+
+1. **Install NDI Plugin for OBS**:
+   - Download from [OBS NDI Plugin](https://github.com/Palakis/obs-ndi/releases)
+   - Install following the provided instructions
+
+2. **Add NDI Source in OBS**:
+   - In OBS, click the "+" in Sources
+   - Select "NDI Source"
+   - Name your source (e.g., "PNGTuber Avatar")
+   - In the properties, select your NDI source from the dropdown
+     - Look for "PNGTuber-Plus" (or your custom name)
+   - Configure audio settings as needed
+
+3. **Position and Scale**:
+   - Resize and position the NDI source in your scene
+   - The stream will include the full PNGTuber viewport
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### NDI Source Not Appearing in OBS
+
+1. **Check NDI Runtime**: Ensure NDI Runtime is installed on both machines
+2. **Network connectivity**: NDI works over network, ensure devices can communicate
+3. **Firewall settings**: NDI uses specific ports, check firewall rules
+4. **Restart applications**: Try restarting both PNGTuber-Plus and OBS
+5. **Check source name**: Verify the NDI source name matches in settings
+
+### Audio Issues
+
+1. **Audio bus**: Ensure the correct audio bus is selected (default: "Master")
+2. **System audio**: Check that PNGTuber-Plus is receiving audio input
+3. **OBS audio settings**: Verify NDI source audio is not muted in OBS
+
+### Performance Issues
+
+1. **Network bandwidth**: NDI requires good network performance for quality streaming
+2. **Local streaming**: For best performance, use NDI on the same machine
+3. **Resolution**: Lower viewport resolution if experiencing lag
+4. **Frame rate**: Adjust FPS settings in PNGTuber-Plus settings
+
+### NDI Not Working
+
+1. **Godot version**: Ensure you're using Godot 4.4-stable or later
+2. **Plugin enabled**: Verify the godot-ndi plugin is properly installed
+3. **System compatibility**: Check NDI Runtime compatibility with your OS
+4. **Console errors**: Check Godot console for any NDI-related errors
+
+## Advanced Configuration
+
+### Custom Audio Bus
+
+You can route specific audio to NDI by:
+1. Creating a custom audio bus in PNGTuber-Plus
+2. Setting the NDI audio bus to your custom bus name
+3. Routing desired audio sources to that bus
+
+### Network Performance
+
+For optimal network streaming:
+- Use wired connections when possible
+- Ensure sufficient bandwidth (>100 Mbps recommended for high quality)
+- Keep NDI devices on the same network segment
+- Consider NDI quality settings if available
+
+### Multiple Instances
+
+You can run multiple PNGTuber-Plus instances with different NDI source names:
+1. Change the "Source name" in each instance
+2. Each will appear as a separate NDI source
+3. Useful for multiple avatars or backup streams
+
+## Technical Details
+
+- **Video Format**: NDI handles video format automatically based on viewport
+- **Audio Format**: Uses the selected audio bus output
+- **Compression**: NDI uses efficient compression for network streaming
+- **Latency**: Typically very low latency (<1 frame) on local network

+
+(a) under intellectual property rights (other than patent or trademark)
+    Licensable by such Contributor to use, reproduce, make available,

+become effective for each Contribution on the date the Contributor first
+distributes such Contribution.
+
+2.3. Limitations on Grant Scope
+
+The licenses granted in this Section 2 are the only rights granted under
+this License. No additional rights or licenses will be implied from the
+distribution or licensing of Covered Software under this License.
+Notwithstanding Section 2.1(b) above, no patent license is granted by a

+
+(a) for any code that a Contributor has removed from Covered Software;
+    or
+
+(b) for infringements caused by: (i) Your and any other third party's
+    modifications of Covered Software, or (ii) the combination of its
+    Contributions with other software (except as part of its Contributor
+    Version); or
+
+(c) under Patent Claims infringed by Covered Software in the absence of
+    its Contributions.
+
+This License does not grant any rights in the trademarks, service marks,
+or logos of any Contributor (except as may be necessary to comply with
+the notice requirements in Section 3.4).
+
+2.4. Subsequent Licenses
+
+No Contributor makes additional grants as a result of Your choice to

+Contributions are its original creation(s) or it has sufficient rights
+to grant the rights to its Contributions conveyed by this License.
+
+2.6. Fair Use
+
+This License is not intended to limit any rights You have under
+applicable copyright doctrines of fair use, fair dealing, or other
+equivalents.
+
+2.7. Conditions
+
+Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, and 3.4 are conditions of the licenses granted
+in Section 2.1.
+
+3. Responsibilities
+-------------------
+
+3.1. Distribution of Source Form
+
+All distribution of Covered Software in Source Code Form, including any
+Modifications that You create or to which You contribute, must be under
+the terms of this License. You must inform recipients that the Source
+Code Form of the Covered Software is governed by the terms of this
+License, and how they can obtain a copy of this License. You may not
+attempt to alter or restrict the recipients' rights in the Source Code
+Form.
+
+3.2. Distribution of Executable Form
+
+If You distribute Covered Software in Executable Form then:
+
+(a) such Covered Software must also be made available in Source Code
+    Form, as described in Section 3.1, and You must inform recipients of
+    the Executable Form how they can obtain a copy of such Source Code
+    Form by reasonable means in a timely manner, at a charge no more
+    than the cost of distribution to the recipient; and
+
+(b) You may distribute such Executable Form under the terms of this
+    License, or sublicense it under different terms, provided that the
+    license for the Executable Form does not attempt to limit or alter
+    the recipients' rights in the Source Code Form under this License.
+
+3.3. Distribution of a Larger Work
+
+You may create and distribute a Larger Work under terms of Your choice,
+provided that You also comply with the requirements of this License for
+the Covered Software. If the Larger Work is a combination of Covered
+Software with a work governed by one or more Secondary Licenses, and the
+Covered Software is not Incompatible With Secondary Licenses, this
+License permits You to additionally distribute such Covered Software
+under the terms of such Secondary License(s), so that the recipient of
+the Larger Work may, at their option, further distribute the Covered
+Software under the terms of either this License or such Secondary
+License(s).
+
+3.4. Notices
+
+You may not remove or alter the substance of any license notices
+(including copyright notices, patent notices, disclaimers of warranty,
+or limitations of liability) contained within the Source Code Form of
+the Covered Software, except that You may alter any license notices to
+the extent required to remedy known factual inaccuracies.
+
+3.5. Application of Additional Terms
+
+You may choose to offer, and to charge a fee for, warranty, support,
+indemnity or liability obligations to one or more recipients of Covered
+Software. However, You may do so only on Your own behalf, and not on
+behalf of any Contributor. You must make it absolutely clear that any
+such warranty, support, indemnity, or liability obligation is offered by
+You alone, and You hereby agree to indemnify every Contributor for any
+liability incurred by such Contributor as a result of warranty, support,
+indemnity or liability terms You offer. You may include additional
+disclaimers of warranty and limitations of liability specific to any
+jurisdiction.
+
+4. Inability to Comply Due to Statute or Regulation
+---------------------------------------------------
+
+If it is impossible for You to comply with any of the terms of this
+License with respect to some or all of the Covered Software due to
+statute, judicial order, or regulation then You must: (a) comply with
+the terms of this License to the maximum extent possible; and (b)
+describe the limitations and the code they affect. Such description must
+be placed in a text file included with all distributions of the Covered
+Software under this License. Except to the extent prohibited by statute
+or regulation, such description must be sufficiently detailed for a
+recipient of ordinary skill to be able to understand it.
+
+5. Termination
+--------------
+
+5.1. The rights granted under this License will terminate automatically
+if You fail to comply with any of its terms. However, if You become
+compliant, then the rights granted under this License from a particular
+Contributor are reinstated (a) provisionally, unless and until such
+Contributor explicitly and finally terminates Your grants, and (b) on an
+ongoing basis, if such Contributor fails to notify You of the
+non-compliance by some reasonable means prior to 60 days after You have
+come back into compliance. Moreover, Your grants from a particular
+Contributor are reinstated on an ongoing basis if such Contributor
+notifies You of the non-compliance by some reasonable means, this is the
+first time You have received notice of non-compliance with this License
+from such Contributor, and You become compliant prior to 30 days after
+Your receipt of the notice.
+
+5.2. If You initiate litigation against any entity by asserting a patent
+infringement claim (excluding declaratory judgment actions,
+counter-claims, and cross-claims) alleging that a Contributor Version
+directly or indirectly infringes any patent, then the rights granted to
+You by any and all Contributors for the Covered Software under Section
+2.1 of this License shall terminate.
+
+5.3. In the event of termination under Sections 5.1 or 5.2 above, all
+end user license agreements (excluding distributors and resellers) which
+have been validly granted by You or Your distributors under this License
+prior to termination shall survive termination.

+*  Covered Software is provided under this License on an "as is"       *
+*  basis, without warranty of any kind, either expressed, implied, or  *
+*  statutory, including, without limitation, warranties that the       *
+*  Covered Software is free of defects, merchantable, fit for a        *
+*  particular purpose or non-infringing. The entire risk as to the     *
+*  quality and performance of the Covered Software is with You.        *
+*  Should any Covered Software prove defective in any respect, You     *
+*  (not any Contributor) assume the cost of any necessary servicing,   *
+*  repair, or correction. This disclaimer of warranty constitutes an   *
+*  essential part of this License. No use of any Covered Software is   *
+*  authorized under this License except under this disclaimer.         *
+*                                                                      *

+*  Under no circumstances and under no legal theory, whether tort      *
+*  (including negligence), contract, or otherwise, shall any           *
+*  Contributor, or anyone who distributes Covered Software as          *
+*  permitted above, be liable to You for any direct, indirect,         *
+*  special, incidental, or consequential damages of any character      *
+*  including, without limitation, damages for lost profits, loss of    *
+*  goodwill, work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any    *

+
+8. Litigation
+-------------
+
+Any litigation relating to this License may be brought only in the
+courts of a jurisdiction where the defendant maintains its principal
+place of business and such litigation shall be governed by laws of that
+jurisdiction, without reference to its conflict-of-law provisions.
+Nothing in this Section shall prevent a party's ability to bring
+cross-claims or counter-claims.
+
+9. Miscellaneous
+----------------
+
+This License represents the complete agreement concerning the subject
+matter hereof. If any provision of this License is held to be
+unenforceable, such provision shall be reformed only to the extent
+necessary to make it enforceable. Any law or regulation which provides
+that the language of a contract shall be construed against the drafter
+shall not be used to construe this License against a Contributor.
+
+10. Versions of the License
+---------------------------
+
+10.1. New Versions
+
+Mozilla Foundation is the license steward. Except as provided in Section
+10.3, no one other than the license steward has the right to modify or

[So reach out](https://discord.com/users/203583245223198722) or [show off](https://github.com/unvermuthet/godot-ndi/discussions/categories/show-and-tell) what you made with Godot NDI!

+
+## Install
+
+> [!IMPORTANT]
+> - Only compatible with `Godot 4.4-stable` and later
+> - Your application needs to comply with the [NDI SDK license](http://ndi.link/ndisdk_license).
+> - The NDI Runtime is required ([Windows](http://ndi.link/NDIRedistV6), [MacOS](http://ndi.link/NDIRedistV6Apple), [Linux (Flatpak incompatible)](https://github.com/DistroAV/DistroAV/wiki/1.-Installation#linux))
+
+Download the latest version under `Releases` and install by extracting the ZIP file in your Godot project.
+Alternatively, you can install the extension from Godot's Asset Library.
+
+## Support
+
+For ***commercial*** support, exclusive alternative licensing, or [NDI Advanced SDK](https://ndi.video/for-developers/ndi-advanced/) integration, contact me at [godot-ndi@muth.pro](mailto:godot-ndi@muth.pro).
+
+In the production industries, software usually comes with exorbitant licensing fees. If this project has been useful to you and you want to show appreciation for my time and effort, consider a donation.

+
+## Building from source
+
+To help you get going, I've configured a [Development Container](https://containers.dev/) with everything set up to target Windows or Linux. Just run `scons` or check `scons --help`!
+
+If you want to configure the environment yourself, follow [Godot's "Building from source" Guide](https://docs.godotengine.org/en/latest/contributing/development/compiling/). This project uses an identical build system.
