Hi,

I am trying to stream a live stream that I am receiving on Wowza Stream Engine to YouTube Live and the status just shows as waiting. ScreenShot below.

Please see the below screenshot for my Youtube settings and incoming streams:

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Any other suggestion?

Looks like a mismatch between the Source Stream Name in the Stream Target (“hasan”) and the actual stream name (“hassu”)

Hi Karel,

After going through the log and making changes to the stream target settings i got it to working.

Below is how it should be.
