vlc streaming using wowza and amazonEC2

I am using vlc and amazonEC2 with wowza license for video streaming.

For testing purpose I created instance in amazonEC2 with wowza, i got below public DNS address

ec2-54-251-165-32.ap-southeast-1.compute.amazonaws.com

I trying to stream a video from local machine to 5009 udp port of above address by the help of udp.

In the vlc streaming wizard gui i given address as

ec2-54-251-165-32.ap-southeast-1.compute.amazonaws.com

udp port as

5009

Active transcoding as

video-H.264+AAC(TS)

And selected

stream all elementry streams

check box in vlc

Now i trying to play streaming by using the help of vlc open network stream with following address

udp://@ec2-54-251-165-32.ap-southeast-1.compute.amazonaws.com:5009

video not playing, getting following error in vlc log as

main error: socket bind error (Cannot assign requested address)

access_udp error: cannot open socket

main error: open of `udp://@ec2-54-251-165-32.ap-southeast-1.compute.amazonaws.com:5009’ failed: (null)

When i try same procedure in local network its working properly, correct me where i doing wrong.

Thanks.

You are missing a step or two. Follow this VLC mpeg-ts Guide

The above uses VLC command line, but you might be able to replace that with your settings in the VLC gui. Either way, you will then have to start the stream with the MediaCaster system following this MPEG-TS Guide
