Hi Wowza Team ,

I created an application on android using the Wowza SDK Android version .

I am using the wowza streaming cloud. I got this host address : rtsp://a6b233.entrypoint.cloud.wowza.com/app-d2e1 (35.156.247.101)

I followed all the steps on website’s tutorial but the point using wich host address in not very clear. I started the live stream on the cloud platform and when i am testing on device i am getting the connection attempt was rejected !

[@wowza](https://community.wowza.com/community/groups/wowza) can anyone help me with this issue ?

Thank you in advance

Hello

Thanks for contacting the Wowza Community!

The protocol for publishing should be rtmp and not rtsp.

Can you confirm you followed this document?

Hello Wowza,

I wanted to broadcast live from wowza gocoder android app. But when I tried to broadcast live it was rejecting the live module. I have given all the credentials for live broadcasting in the app. The credentials where taken from wowza streaming cloud.

I have even tried downloading sdk version from wowza website and the same error which I am facing.

Can Anyone help me out with this.

Thanking You

Hi,

It seems that documentation is missing some small info, it says

_**For Server enter the Wowza Streaming Cloud Host Server address (without rtsp:// at the start of the URL)**_

but neither the "_/app-XXXX"_ at the end is needed

the app-XXXX value should go in the Application Name, etc

that worked for me 🙂
