Wowza speaks SRT both ways. We'll push a copy into its listener, and show the stream ID syntax. Since 4.9.4, one listener port takes many publishers, routed by stream ID. Three XML touches. The part everyone gets wrong: the stream ID is an instruction. Publish mode, then app, instance, stream. Our side is the usual caller output: Wowza's address, listener port, passphrase, and that publish stream ID. In Wowza Manager the stream appears under your application, playable, ready for packaging. Bit exact copy. Going back the other way: a Stream Target, type SRT generic. One quirk: the destination port must be even. Listener mode, the publish stream ID, caller output from us, even ports back. Next: Castr in sixty seconds.
