SRT Listener source

So what is the trick to get a SRT Listener source setup in OBS? I've followed the guide in the wiki but never get a connection. (Media Source -> srt://127.0.0.1:5000?mode=listener). Have tried toggling "restart playback..." with no success either way. The external SRT caller source I'm trying to connect works with other software listening on same PC so I know the path elements are setup correctly. If I change the OBS source to a caller it connects fine and I see incoming video. But as a listener, well nothing... Guess the question is, is this function broken or am I missing something?

well I managed to get this going after trying many permutations. seems using 127.0.0.1 as my own IP doesn't work, you have to use the real IP of your computer. also leaving the "Input Format" blank and unchecking the other option boxes resulted in an incoming signal.

the only remaining issue is that it works great once connected, but if the incoming connection is broken it will not re-connect without a restart of OBS. disappointing, hope this glitch gets fixed. spoils an otherwise excellent feature.

Try these settings for the Media Source. The incoming connection can disconnect and reconnect without a problem on my set-up (Mac).
