Hi, is there any way using wowza to do a live streaming (HLS output) with alternate audio tracks from a RTMP input with multiple audio tracks?

Thanks!

Hi,

Have you looked at the [ModuleMultiTrackVod](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-select-multiple-tracks-from-a-vod-file-modulemultitrackvod%28ModuleMultiTrackVOD%29) article? This allows you to select specific audio tracks using query parameters, e.g. for an HLS stream

```auto

```

Thanks Paul, but looks like this “tool” only works for VOD. Does it work for live streams too?

Hi,

Yes, my apologies, looks like I left out the live audio selection example. You can configure Wowza to choose an audio track from an HLS stream by creating a smil file using separate stream files to extract each audio input Please see [this article](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-use-alternative-audio-or-video-tracks-with-apple-hls-streams) for some examples of how this can work.
