Hello,

I have a streaming engine server where I have multiple cameras. My plan is to use Wowza Server 1 streams on Wowza Server 2.  
Wowza Server 1 IP: 192.168.1.1  
Wowza Server 2 IP: 192.168.1.2

Application name in Wowza: Livestream

For example, I have Video-1.stream where this stream status is active and I can access it through VLC with the link rtsp://192.168.1.1/Livestream/Video-1.stream

On Server 2:  
I configured another server and I tried created a stream file called Video-2.stream with URL “rtsp://192.168.1.1/Livestream/Video-1.stream” . When status of this stream is always Waiting for stream.

I followed the below step but I didn’t know what they mean with "Destination Stream Name\* since i don’t have any stream on the destination server.

When setting up your stream target, the destination stream name is **the name of the stream the stream target will send to the destination.**

Some destinations require you use a specific stream name, which you will enter here. So, if your Server 1 application name is Livestream and the stream name in that application is Video-1 then that is what I believe you are trying to send to server 2. So **you need to tell the stream target what stream to send** so it knows which one to send to Server 2. In this case, your destination stream name is video-1. That’s the one you want send from Server 1 to the destination or to Server 2. This is not the same as application name, so be careful there.

But, I am guessing based on what you shared. If that doesn’t fix it, we’ll need to take a closer look at your configuration to see why it can’t receive the stream but I suspect it’s the stream names from server 1 to server 2.

Send us a support ticket and we’ll be happy to review your setup and get it working. Thanks.
