I have a question about the transcoder costs. What does it cost additionally with the following configuration: 1 instance 1 live application 1 Incoming RTMP stream Transcoder activated Transcoder Template = Transrate Activated Presets = source, 720p, 360p I’m not sure what the costs are. Thanks for help ---

Wowza Transcoder is a feature that comes with the Wowza Streaming Engine license at no additional cost. The only thing you must keep in mind, is that a transcoding process in general requires more hardware resources than streaming.

there is a serious issue with streams audio as even after transcoding no audio will come out of the stream…is there any restriciton or audio source types not supported on your platform ---

@Xhoan Lee, welcome to the Wowza forums! Yes there are audio restrictions and I can answer this for you, but you need to ask in a brand new post as it is not related to this original post on transcoder pricing. We can’t mix more than one question in the same post. Thanks and I will look for your new post and answer it right away. ---
