Hello Community,

I am a newbie to wowza and I am using the engine in AWS.  
I am trying to Live Steam with my new Encoders using SRT. I was able to get SRT to work so I think in Wowza Streaming Engine as my encoder says the stream is connected but when I try to send it out to a stream Target using RTMP it just sits there and says “waiting”. The SRT stream file says active and on the graph I see in bound data but the test players don’t work in my browser. I am using chrome on a Mac. I have removed all of the security just to see if this would work.

I don’t believe that Wowza supports Stream Targets with SRT since it would require an SRT Listener and that is still in backlog.

One of our Wowza Consultants does a lot of custom work with SRT and he may be able to assist in the meantime- @Karel_Boek

Can I suggest using rtmp://serverip:1935/app name/name.stream in your player… I think this is what I understand you asked.

I am confused which is why I am asking but this is why I wanted to use Wowza and this is what I found.

There are two ways to output an **ingested SRT stream** : either you can let Wowza Streaming Engine transmux the SRT stream into a supported playback format or you can use an SRT stream target.

Wowza Streaming Engine live applications are configured by default to transmux **ingested SRT streams into the supported playback types** : MPEG-DASH, HLS, **RTMP** , HDS, Microsoft Smooth Streaming, and RTSP/RTP. **This makes it easy to deliver the stream to a variety of players**. Even if you choose to use an SRT stream target, you will also have the ability to deliver your SRT stream to viewers using these alternative playback types.

So I follow the instructions and the system is not working as advertise which means I am missing something, a setting, a step to use SRT from my encoder into Wowza —\> which I do see it states active to out as a RTMP stream which says waiting. As I stated I see traffic in just none of the players work from my browsers which I use Chrome, Safari, Firefox and Opera.

Hello

Let’s say your encoder = enc1 … wse server = ser1 and endpoint (ex. Player) = po1 finally OBS = obs

I suggest this:

Enc1(srt://111.222.333.444:9100) -\> ser1(srt://[0.0.0.0:9100](http://0.0.0.0:9100/))

You would of assigned a name for the stream file. Ex name.stream would appear active in your incoming stream after it is assigned to the application…

Once there you can use a po1 to pull from the server using rtmp

Ex link rtmp://111.222.333.444:1935/app\_name/name.stream

To send to obs …use can use the SRT target using name.stream as the input… the obs ip as the destination ip, assign a port also

In obs use the media input (deselect local file) and add the uri srt://0.0.0.0:port (you assigned)

Ok

Hope this helped…please give me feedback.

Thanks

Hey Egbert,

So I currently have my encoder that serves an SRT stream to the wowza server. Once that connection happens my encoder tells me its connected and the Wowza server when I start the stream file it goes active.

ENC srt:\{IP-Addr-Of- Server}:7500 (connected) ---------\> Wowza server (streamfile) testapp.stream srt://0.0.0.0:7500 (active)  
That works no issues I see data coming in to the server my issue is according to the documentation the stream should be transmux and now I can send it out as RTMP to my stream target rtmp://28.38.20.17:1935

The second part is not happening in my wowza server now I can go from my encoder to OBS or Wirecast using SRT but I also need to stream directly from my encoder to my delivery application.

So that is my issue getting the stream target to work.

Can you provide me with a screenshot of the target settings and one of your encoder settings please

Hello…Thanks for the screenshot. Two things …you did not screen shot the SRT target which is what I asked for…also at this point can I suggest you copy all your log files and submit a ticket to the WOWZA support who would have a better in site to what you are trying to achieve.

Thanks @Egbert_Williams yeah I did screen shot the target fyi in blue it tells you SRT PUSH URL (Connected) srt://ip:7010 then in the pic above it you see that the SRT stream is active and recording. The next pic shows RTMP in a Starting state with the RTMP configuration to the right of that and on top you have the error logs.

So as I described in my previous post that the SRT stream is not being sent out as an RTMP stream to a target. I have opened up a ticket but I have to wait 48 hrs and it seems like there is a switch I am not checking in order to get this test to work.

Thanks Again

Sorry I think I misunderstood you. I believe you mean you not able to stream out using the RTMP target.  
I believe you need to speak to support to look at your logs and know what is happening…Takecare
