Hello Louis,

There is currently an enhancement request on adding customization to the representation ID of an MPEG-DASH manifest. However, I cannot give you a timeframe as to when it will become available.

Please do check back in periodically to our Software Updates page to see if your feature request has been deployed.

[https://www.wowza.com/docs/software-updates](https://www.wowza.com/docs/software-updates)

If you can provide more detailed information about your use case it I will pass this along.

Regards

Jason Hatchett

Hi @Jason Hatchett, any news about this? I’ve got a case where we need fixed representation IDs; currently they change regularly. What triggers generation of a new representation ID?
