I’ve used this api follow to documentation which is updating configuration of Transcoder on some application.
I want to change my options through the REST-API then it should be changed on my dashboard as like below:
Transcoder Options
[x]Match source stream name to template name
Fallback Template
my-template
Queried sample :
```auto
PUT http://192.168.10.67:8087/v2/servers/_defaultServer_/vhosts/_defaultVHost_/applications/zxdfcx/transcoder content-type: application/json; charset=utf-8 Accept: application/json; charset=utf-8
{ "profileDir": "", "licensed": true, "templates": { "vhostName": "", "templates": [{ "id": "Passthrough", "href": "http://119.205.236.242:8087/v2/servers/_defaultServer_/vhosts/_defaultVHost_/applications/zxdfcx/transcoder/templates/Passthrough" }], "serverName": "", "saveFieldList": [""], "version": "" }, "available": true, "serverName": "_defaultServer_", "templateDir": "${com.wowza.wms.context.VHostConfigHome}/transcoder/templates", "version": "", "createTemplateDir": false, "licenses": 0, "liveStreamTranscoder": "", "templatesInUse": "Passthrough", "licensesInUse": 0, "saveFieldList": [""] }
```
Especially, field templatesInUse section didn’t affect to my application.

Hi, your templatesInUse does not look to be valid. Do try the following command instead:
```auto
curl -X PUT --header "Accept:application/json; charset=utf-8" --header "Content-type:application/json; charset=utf-8" http://192.168.10.67:8087/v2/servers/_defaultServer_/vhosts/_defaultVHost_/applications/zxdfcx/transcoder -d '{ "templatesInUse": "Passthrough.xml" }'
```
You may also want to edit your post to mask any public IPs.

Thanks for your quick response.Michelle
Transcoding opotion and fallback Templete section are changed correctly. Great !!!
However, Section of Transcoder status has been still “Not Enable”. Please let me know what I’m missed.
