Hi, I'm having trouble getting SRT video to display from Moblin.

My setup:

  • Streaming from phone via Moblin using SRT, codec: H.264
  • OBS (on PC) media source input: srt://0.0.0.0:8888?mode=listener
  • Format: mpegts
  • OBS version: 31.1.1
  • Windows firewall fully configured (UDP/TCP allowed on 8888 and 4455

Image

for both obs.exe and ffplay)

  • My ObsWebSocket port is "4455"
  • Public IP is correctly port-forwarded (8888 and 4455) on router
  • ffplay command used: ffplay.exe srt://0.0.0.0:8888?mode=listener (opens and listens without error)

What happens:

  • No video is displayed, not on OBS, not on ffplay.
  • OBS log shows repeated: MP: Failed to open media, I/O error, or Immediate exit requested
  • ffplay window opens successfully but receives no packets.

Additional Notes:

  • Tried with multiple phones and Moblin instances – connection appears to initiate, but video never shows.
  • Tried both mpegts and mov formats – same issue.
  • Verified that Moblin is sending (SRT stats show outgoing traffic on phone).
  • Listener mode is used on both OBS and ffplay.

Conclusion:

Despite all ports and settings being correct, the video feed simply doesn’t appear. Would appreciate any help or clarification on what might be missing.

Is audio enabled in Moblin? If not, enable it.

then I suggest test on local network for less risk of internet related problems.

Nope. it still doesnt with my wifi internet connection
