Timers seem not to work when in NDI mode
Hia,
Been fiddling with a new feature on my overlays, I do tend to use the ATVO overlay in NDI mode for OBS. During testing I noticed that the timers wont work at all (none of them seem to properly count down).
When I switch back out of NDI, everything works as intended.
Is this a bug? Or something you guys haven't made to work yet?

That's strange. I had no issues, I justed tested it. Is it a relatively "heavy" theme, e.g. lots of large visible widgets? Do you notice the controls screen and ATVO in general being sluggish when NDI is on? I expect NDI is taking up every available cpu tick and that may be messing up background timers. I have read about this issue before but never seen it.
Can you try it on a very simple theme with just a small widget for example?
We are working on a new NDI version which should not have this issue, but we have to wait for a new Windows release for it to work.

I only have 2 widgets shown, (which are both small) (I have this exact overlay on "display" in the show section of the forum btw, if you're wondering how big/small they are)
I do notice the controls and ATVO in general being sluggy the moment I restart the ATVO launcher after ticking NDI.
Edit: Huh, thats strange, now my timers DO work in NDI... o.O

Had an eILMS race yesterday evening, running the theme as a proper test. Some timers appear to still not work after like 45 minutes. They dont seem to count down. And if they do, it doesnt trigger anything.
Edit: After some more trial and error I came to the conclusion that NDI mode messes with the timer executions. Where it properly works outside NDI it seems to mess up with actions when its in NDI.
I hope it will be fixed in the future.
