Hi,

This is possible by sending a PUT request to the REST API endpoint `/v2/servers/{serverName}/vhosts/{vhostName}/applications/{appName}/transcoder` and updating the `templatesInUse` parameter to remove `${SourceStreamName}.xml` from the valid values. This would mean that whichever fallback (remaining) template you have defined in this parameter will always be used for transcoding.
