I can see the ndi input from easy worship on vmix but it's black. I have tried 3 different ndi inputs and they are black

NDI announcement is done over mDNS. That part seems to work. A black image is usually when there is a network issue.
First tool to narrow it down is to use NDI Studio Monitor and see if you get a picture. That is the reference.

If Studio Monitor is black as well you have to share more details of your signal path, switches, routers, NICs, network in general. The more precise you be the better one can guide you and help. Try to change the computer or the source to see if there is a general issue and in what direction to focus the search.

I've had this happen to me several times. NDI feeds show up perfectly in Studio Monitor. It happens when starting vMix or reloading a project. I will sometimes get nothing but black for all of my NDI sources (I have 4). If I restart vMix enough times it finally works, and then everything is fine for the rest of the session. It doesn't happen every time, but it's an annoyance when it does.

Have you tried removing the NDI source and add the input again or even start a new session. Is the NDI input working there. If, it might be a corrupted session file. You could also open the session in an editor and check for something strange in there. It has xml structure.
