What is Dicaffeine?

Dicaffeine is an NDI player and NDI/RTMP streamer for the two Linux distributions - Raspberry Pi OS (previously called Raspbian) on Raspberry ARM computers and Ubuntu (Xubuntu) on AMD/Intel computers.

The software is distributed for free, but I will appreciate any donations that support the future development.

Streamer supports the classic NDI and RTMP.

Player supports the classic NDI, NDI|HX and restreaming via RTMP.

What is done:

So it's still only a beta version?

Yes! And probably will be for a long time. There are many different OS and HW versions and it is not easy to say that this software is ready for the production. Probably it will work for you, but I won't promise you anything. :)

Where can I report issues?

There is a new Dicaffeine project page on Github, please report any issues there.

How to support:

Dicaffeine is my side project just for fun, I'll be very happy if you'll decide to support it by donating any amount of money using the PayPal or Stripe gateway:
