Barely functionnal with Blender 4.5 LTS

[FloydianSound]

Hello,
The latest release seems not to work at all for me, i tried juggling a couple of blender installers, adding the official Zeal.Spout install and initialize it's settings.
I've had a major PC crash last month so i'm restarting from a fresh Windows 24H2 Install. (the old version of windows i used was a locked 23H2, i still have it on my other computers for testing purpose if needed)

I've used this repo in the past (Between January-March) with a different set of versions of each programs and it worked well. I believe this was just around when NDI support released (i was maybe using the older release of texture-sharing at the time? i don't remember having it in my blender)

Receiving Texture

• Spout simply will not work or even show a Sender, but other software (Resolume, OBS, Spout Panel) will see and display them just fine.
• NDI can detect it's Senders but will not refresh the content (or will refresh a single frame when doing certain actions (such as toggling edit mode, or changing render engines)

Using CUDA and EEVEE or Cycles (CPU/GPU) doesn't change anything, other than forcing a frame refresh occasionally

Sharing Texture
Have not tried this yet but i can provide testing for debugging purpose if needed

Softwares
Blender-Texture-Sharing (6.0.1 and 4.0.0)
Blender (3.6 LTS - 4.3 LTS - 4.5 LTS - 5.0 Nightly)

Resolume Arena 7.23.2
OBS 32.0.1 with both the latest DistroAV for NDI and OBS_Spout2 Plugins

NDI Toolkit v6 (Required for DistroAV)
Spout V2.007.100 (AutoShare didn't work, then tried CPU Share, doesn't work either)

System
Windows 11 Enterprise 24H2 - 26100.6899
Windows Feature Experience Pack - 1000.26100.253.0
CPU - Intel i9-14900K
GPU - Strix RTX 3090Ti
RAM - 64GB DDR4 6000mhz
NVME - Samsung 990 Pro 2TB
Nvidia Studio Driver - 581.29 (no gameready or nvidia bloat app, it's an hard version installer)

Additional Info

• I didn't install Python since i didn't need it for my current purpose on this PC, i don't really do software development and most software i use have their built-in python version packed in anyways when they need it. i did however have it installed in the past when this plug-in worked.
  -- a quick look in the Appdata folder shown me the python folders and their site-packages to be created, but i think there might be conflicts there

• I didn't install NDITools either, it's a big bunch of bloat, never had a need for it except debugging/testing. i usually uninstall it afterwards and things worked as they used to.

• I'm suspecting 24H2 to have a lot of problems for compatibility and features i have used for the past two years, like using Resolume, OBS, Blender, Unity and other software to make audiovisual art and pass signal amongst them. i can provide a different set of software versions between my different PCs to isolate problem.

• Ideally it would be good to have all of this run with the latest software versions of everything, but let's say i would not shed a tear if i had to go back to 23H2 to make this work. it would be inconvenient but it would keep things in-line and stable since i can block specific feature updates or major release with Windows Policy editor.

Let me know if there is anything else you need to know or i can help with

which version do you use?

you mentioned Blender-Texture-Sharing (6.0.1 and 4.0.0)

can you test with latest 8.0.1?

and receiving textures in blender comes with ⚠️ = Performance issues
