Hello,

We are using Wowza Streaming Engine v. 4.0.4. Is it possible to configure Transcoder AddOn to transcode/transrate only some incoming streams and not all incoming streams?

Thank you,

Ionatan

Hello there.

Please take a look at this guide:

[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)

Also, You can match template names with stream names, and remove the specific template name (i.e.transrate.xml, transcode.xml) from Application.xml file.

```auto
<Templates>${SourceStreamName}.xml</Templates>

```

if you only have a template named myStream.xml you will only transcode streams named myStream. if you also have a template named yourStream.xml, streams named “myStream” and “yourStream” will be transcoded using those templates, and other streams will not be transcoded.

Regards,

Salvadore
