Here is a probe of our stream:

Is there a way to remove Video PID 0x001B from the stream? I tried setting property value “cupertinoCreateAudioOnlyRendition” to True but that didn’t seem to work.

Thanks!

Hello,

You might be able to create a separate stream containing only the streams you require using the [A/V mix module](https://github.com/WowzaMediaSystems/wse-plugin-avmix) found on github.

Best regards,
