I am injecting metadata into an HLS stream as described here: [https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-inject-cue-points-or-metadata](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-inject-cue-points-or-metadata) and this works for the source stream. However, I have a **transrate.xml** file set up to give me various renditions, but I am not seeing the metadata in the various rendition files? It is obviously very important that anyone viewing the stream gets the metadata. How can I make sure the metadata is injected into all renditions of a stream?

Upon further testing, this appears to happen automatically. Can I get confirmation that injected metadata into stream “myStream” will then go into all transcoded renditions?
