Hello

You could take a look at the ILiveStreamTranscoderNotify and ILiveStreamTranscoderActionNotify interfaces. and dynamically choose your template file. Setup the following event handlers as indicated in this [post](http://community.wowza.com/t/-/35562). Then you can choose the template required by leveraging the liveStreamTranscoder object within the ILiveStreamTranscoderActionNotify.onInitBeforeLoadTemplate event handler as follows:

```auto
liveStreamTranscoder.setTemplateName("TemplateName.xml");

```

Thanks,

Matt
