To the best of my knowledge, I have identified two distinct states within the incoming streams page:

1. Waiting for Stream
2. Active

I am interested in understanding whether there exist any additional stream statuses beyond the aforementioned two. If such statuses exist, could you kindly provide a documentation link for reference?

Hello, You are correct. For incoming stream page there are two states only.  
“Waiting for Stream” means it’s waiting for the source stream to connect to the Wowza Streaming Engine instance.

And “Active” as the name says, it is successfully connected.  
Hope this helps.
