Hi there … I want to use something like mentioned on following post to select which stream to transcode ([https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-control-which-streams-get-transcoded-using-server-side-api](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-control-which-streams-get-transcoded-using-server-side-api))

Is there any way to select at same time, through server side API, which transcoder profile to use for each stream?

I want to tell which stream to transcode, and which profile of the 3 I will have to use for each stream

Thanks in advance
