Published SRT stream not working. How do I fix?

Lehel 2020-06-28 23:19:09 UTC in WMSPanel functionality

I have nimble set up to ingest an SRT stream. My http based broadcasts and SLDP player all view the stream fine. When I try VLC to watch the srt stream set up in MPEGTS out, I get a distorted broadcast. What am i doing wrong

Hello, Lehel.

Please try to increase the latency value and set the latency in the URL you enter in VLC, e.g. srt://yo.ur.i.p:port/?latency=XXX

Please also check other players (e.g. SLDP Player mobile, it can play SRT) to check if the issue happens.

More details on setting latency parameter can be found in the following documentation page:

Thank you

the sldp player plays it perfectly. just srt protocol issue on the downstream.

i set the latency to 1200, its still super choppy audio and almost no videoframes.

i need to import 2 streams into obs and srt protocol is my only option since it ws:// doesn't work.

Lehel,
we cannot comment on VLC capabilities for SRT playback. Check your network hardware is not dropping UDP packets first.
Please consult OBS documentation for getting SRT streams into it.
As for Nimble's SRT setup, I can suggest the following article:

If you have difficulties with the setup and can describe it technically, please launch a ticket at wmspanel.com/help
Thank you.

is there a reliable player for srt i can see if the issue is still occuring? because a lot of packets are being lost.

Lehel 2020-06-30 11:54:21 UTC 

actually, i tried srt://... in the sldp player on android and got "couldn't connect to server." but ws://works.

Please make sure your server provides output SRT stream via Listen mode. This is the mode SLDP Player uses to connect to SRT stream.

Lehel 2020-06-30 11:58:26 UTC 

im streaming to the server with ffmpeg. i am wondering if i just need the right configuration of srt parameters.

Lehel 2020-06-30 11:59:32 UTC 

yes. its in listen mode. vlc can connect but its choppy to unwatchable. i dont know why the sldp player cant connect at all though

Lehel 2020-06-30 12:03:07 UTC 

sorry. i just noticed the settings for maxbw was really low compared to what i set sending. i increased the value and the sldp player can connect now but its choppy there too. ill try to increase more and see if it helps.

Lehel 2020-06-30 12:04:17 UTC 

okay. it connected and started playing now but it took a few seconds to clear up.
