Audio Broadcasting with Raspberry PI and Android Things

I am currently running android things on my raspberry pi. I have created a simple audio broadcasting app using the sample in the documentation. When using my emulator to test the app, I am able to successfully created a broadcast stream and listen it on the server. However, when I attempt to run the app on the raspberry, I get a connection_timeout error.

A broadcast component reported the following error during the PREPARE_FOR_BROADCAST transition

    severity                  : ERROR
    error class               : WOWZStreamingError
    error code                : 49
    description               : A timeout occurred while attempting to connect    

Is there something specific about the raspberry pi’s hardware that is causing the connection failure?

I also receive the following error at times as well:

Hello @Kyle Pearson

Please make sure that you have TCP port 1935 open on the Raspberry PI, and it can reach the external network your Wowza Streaming Engine (Cloud) server.
