SRT start streaming keeps connecting and never connects

[gabiango]

Hi, I am trying to stream using SRT protocol but for some reason when I click on "Start Streaming" the button keeps saying "Connecting..." but never connects. This is what I do:

1 - Go to System Preferences > Network and copy the IP, which in this case is 192.168.1.27

2 - In OBS, I go to Settings > Streaming, I chose custom connection and write srt://192.168.1.27:12000?mode=listener

3 - Click on "Start Streaming" button but nothing happens. The button keeps saying "Connecting..."

As I have seen in this video https://youtu.be/-q449mHIbhw?t=213 and as it is explained here https://obsproject.com/kb/srt-protocol-streaming-guide, Iam I doing anything wrong? Have I missed anything?

Thank you for your answers!

UPDATE: This is what it is written on the log after I press the "Start Streaming" button:

16:24:44.596: [obs-ffmpeg mpegts muxer: 'adv_stream'] info: Output format name and long_name: mpegts, MPEG-TS (MPEG-2 Transport Stream)
16:24:44.596:
16:24:44.597: [obs-ffmpeg mpegts muxer / libsrt] : libsrt v.1.5.0 loaded.
16:24:44.597:

If I do the same in windows (OBS 29.1.1), the same problem occurs, but I can see an additional error log line:

[obs-ffmpeg mpegts muxer / libsrt]: Connection rejected, Unknown or erroneous

srt://192.168.1.27:12000?mode=listener

This address tells me that this machine is the listener, waiting for an incoming stream. Are you trying to stream in your local network? If so who's the sender?

Hi Babs, thanks for the replay. That address is Macbook IP address. I want to emit audio and video from OBS in Macbook to OBS in Windows, which IP is 192.168.1.44.

What should I write in server, then?

Hi again, my IPs were correct. The problem was in the use on de mode queryParam.

From the emitter OBS (the macbook in this case) I have to setup the server I have to write:

Where 192.168.1.37 is the IP of the receiver machine

In the receiver OBS (windows in this case) I have to setup the Media Source like this:

And now it is working.

Thanks a lot!

Well done, I'm glad you've solved it. Happy streaming.
