Stream Target stuck in Waiting

Hello everybody.

I am obviously new to Wowza tial and need some help for push streaming. We want to push stream from one Wowza(source) to another Wowza(target). We are receiving a live source by using Stream files(a file named

WoCu-Clean.stream

which gives us a stream with the same name. We want to push it to another Wowza using Stream Target. We have configured the stream target as follows:

Source Stream Name

WoCu-Clean

Destination Application Name

LiveTarget

Destination Application Instance

definst

Destination Host

[1.2.3.4]

Destination Port

2235

Destination Stream Name

TV1

User Name

-Not Set-

Password

-Not Set-

On the receiver side, we have configured as follows:

We have created a Stream File named “TV1.stream” with Stream URI as"

rtmp://@:2235/

Then we have connected to TV1.stream with “MediaCaster Type: rtp” and Application instance "

definst"

In Wowza target’s Incoming Streams I see

TV1.stream
rtmp://@:2235/ Waiting for Stream

And in Wowza source’s Stream Targets I see the target’s status remaining in yellow “Waiting…”.

What have we done wrong? I have tried Stream URI with:

rtmp://1.2.3.4:2235/

rtmp://1.2.3.4:2235/LiveTarget

rtmp://[Wowza source’s IP Addr]:2235/

But still the same.

BTW, I have disabled authentication for RTMP.

I really appreciate your help.

I’m having the same issue more than a year later, has anyone figured out how to start it without having a weird connection sequence?

Did you follow the steps in the docs? https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-stream-to-another-wowza-streaming-engine-instance

What version of Wowza Streaming Engine are you running? Are you running a trial?

@marko barbancic have you seen my reply?

Hi @marko barbancic, the original post does not have the url set up correctly in any of the examples shared, nor do they have the correct ports configured.

I do see you have submitted a ticket on this for an SRT stream target and they will taking a look at your config today since they couldn’t replicate the issue. Thank you for submitting a ticket so you can resolve this after a year and I’ll be sure to track the progress in ticket #340050.

I have followed the tutorial. The version is 4.7.8 and it is a trial key.
