Hi all, i’ve some problems to connect srt stream source using Wowza Media Engine at latest version.  
I’ve created stream file according documentation - put stream URL srt://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:xxxxx, at propoerties fill value at srtPassPhrase, connected stream (off course as MediaCaster type i choose srt) and I have still the same info “Waiting for Stream”.  
At log file:

Source is working correctly, i can connect via VLC.

Wowza is working at OpenSUSE operating system without any running firewall.

Can someone know what is going on with my problem, where should i configure something or what should i change?

Hi,  
…and what do you mean when you write:  
stream URL srt://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:xxxxx  
you should specify something like this:  
srt://0.0.0.0:9999  
Where 9999 is the port number to which SRT is sent to your wowza.  
Let us know if it helped.

HI, thank You for reply, i had to mask ip address of source because is public ip address of one our broadcaster.  
For test i instaled new instance of Wowza at Windows OS, but results was excacly the same.

One more time:  
SRT is sent to the IP address of the wowza (your), to a specific port -example: 9999.  
now, you add a new stream -example: srt.stream and in it you give srt://0.0.0.0:9999  
you hook up srt.stream as SRT  
that’s it

yet another way:  
on what port does the client transmit the SRT stream??
