I’m trying to make android app for streaming, using GoCoder SDK.

Did everything like in [quick start guid](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-build-a-basic-app-with-gocoder-sdk-for-android) ( [https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-build-a-basic-app-with-gocoder-sdk-for-android](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-build-a-basic-app-with-gocoder-sdk-for-android) ).

Initialized WowzaGoCoder and WOWZBroadcastConfig and set all params to it (hostAddress, portNumber, applicationName, streamName, username, password, videoBroadcaster, audioBroadcaster)

But every time i’m trying to start streaming i receive the same error:

_“The connection attempt was refused by the remote destination or the destination could not be reached”_

What is the reason of this error, and how can i fix it?

Hello @Milosz Cisowski, can you provide more details on your workflow? Are you using the SDK with Streaming Engine or Streaming Cloud?

Same issue. I open wowza streaming engine:

Has anyone found a solution?

# This site can’t be reached

**localhost** refused to connect.

Try:

- Checking the connection
- Checking the proxy and the firewall  
ERR\_CONNECTION\_REFUSED
