Sorry if this question has been already asked in the past but I’d like to know if this feature is now supported on v4.7.3 or if it’s a work in progress or not planned at all.

As far as I understood, transcoding is only available for live streams, instead if I need “real time” transcoding (or transrating) for a vod application content file, it’s not supported yet.

At the moment the only option is to do the transcoding with another solution (i.e. ffmpeg) and then store the output files in the content folder of the vod application.

Am I missing something new about this?
