Hi

I need to change live stream encoding profile level to 4.0 (I think default encode level is 3.0)

But i cant found this setting in any .xml template ?

How can i add this option to encoder ?

Hi,

This is normally set from the encoder side. However, you can tweak your transcoder parameters. You can [get a list of transcoder parameters](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-control-transcoded-video-with-video-encoding-parameters) that you can adjust by enabling the log file to output this data.
