Could it be that one ?

   1. Note that I notice that SRT elements only works when configured
      through URI, configuring through the properties seems broken. I must
      admit I thought this crash was introduced by the re-factoring (the
      one that merge srtserver/client pairs to allow fully URI based
      handling.

SRT is NAT friendly in the sense it uses a single port, but you still
need to port forward, as it does not do NAT traversal like WebRTC as an
example.
