Hi there,

How can I check and uncheck all and each one options in Playback types?

I mean, using Rest API I want to check/uncheck playback with HLS or RTMP or Smooth Streaming, the one on the main properties on each Application.

I already read the Rest API documentation and I didn’t find out.

Thank you.

liveStreamPacketizer array will have these values. Minus the ones you would not want.

```auto
curl -X PUT \
-H 'Accept:application/json; charset=utf-8' \
-H 'Content-Type:application/json; charset=utf-8' \
http://localhost:8087/v2/servers/_defaultServer_/vhosts/_defaultVHost_/applications/testlive \
-d'
{
  "restURI": "http://localhost:8087/v2/servers/_defaultServer_/vhosts/_defaultVHost_/applications/testlive",
  "name":" testlive",
  "appType": "Live",
  "streamConfig": {
      "restURI": "http://localhost:8087/v2/servers/_defaultServer_/vhosts/_defaultVHost_/applications/testlive/streamconfiguration",
      "streamType": "live",
      "liveStreamPacketizer": [
         "cupertinostreamingpacketizer",
         "smoothstreamingpacketizer",
         "sanjosestreamingpacketizer",
         "mpegdashstreamingpacketizer"
      ]
  }
}

For example, If you only want HLS playback, you would make this call:

```auto
curl -X PUT \
-H 'Accept:application/json; charset=utf-8' \
-H 'Content-Type:application/json; charset=utf-8' \
http://localhost:8087/v2/servers/_defaultServer_/vhosts/_defaultVHost_/applications/testlive \
-d'
{
  "restURI": "http://localhost:8087/v2/servers/_defaultServer_/vhosts/_defaultVHost_/applications/testlive",
  "name":" testlive",
  "appType": "Live",
  "streamConfig": {
      "restURI": "http://localhost:8087/v2/servers/_defaultServer_/vhosts/_defaultVHost_/applications/testlive/streamconfiguration",
      "streamType": "live",
      "liveStreamPacketizer": [
         "cupertinostreamingpacketizer",
      ]
  }
}

```

Thank you Rose,

I already did that (and restart app included)… and nothing happend, in wowza panel still say Apple HLS On (like in the image above), and HLS stream still go on when I remove cupertinostreamingpacketizer ☹

Ok… that’s odd. So, I guess we need you to submit a support ticket so we can run tests on all your logs and files. It’s the only way to find out what the issue is. Sorry I couldn’t help you solve it.

It looks like the above call is missing the httpStreams array. This one should work if you only want MPEG-DASH http playback type:

curl -X PUT \

-H ‘Accept:application/json; charset=utf-8’ \

-H ‘Content-Type:application/json; charset=utf-8’ \

[http://localhost:8087/v2/servers/](http://localhost:8087/v2/servers/)_defaultServer_/vhosts/_defaultVHost_/applications/live \

-d’

{

“restURI”: “[http://localhost:8087/v2/servers/](http://localhost:8087/v2/servers/)_defaultServer_/vhosts/_defaultVHost_/applications/live”,

“name”:" live",

“appType”: “Live”,

“httpStreamers”:[

“mpegdashstreaming”

],

“streamConfig”: {

“restURI”: “[http://localhost:8087/v2/servers/](http://localhost:8087/v2/servers/)_defaultServer_/vhosts/_defaultVHost_/applications/testlive/streamconfiguration”,

“streamType”: “live”,

“liveStreamPacketizer”: [

“mpegdashstreamingpacketizer”

]

}

}’
