Hi Guys,

I have created an application via a REST call. But I don’t know what to set in the REST Call to enable the transcoder module for the application.

I have set my TranscoderConfig as per [https://www.wowza.com/docs/application-management-query-examples](https://www.wowza.com/docs/application-management-query-examples). But I still have to go into the Wowza Manager and manually enable the transcoder addon.

I see “LiveStreamTranscoder” is set to transcoder in my TranscoderConfig element once I have enabled the transcoder in the Wowza Manager. But including it in my TranscoderConfig does nothing.

How can I create an application using REST where the transcoder addon is enabled?
