How to select MPEG-TS stream by program ID and also audio language by PID

Note: For use with Wowza Media Server 3

An MPEG-TS stream can include multiple audio and and video tracks. You can select these using query parameters that are part of the udp:// URL inside of a .stream file. There are four options for selecting a stream:

• programID: Select audio and video track by program ID
• audioLanguage: Select an individual audio track by language using 3 letter language code such as eng (English), fre (French) and spa (Spanish)
• audioPID: Select an individual audio track by PID ID
• videoPID: Select an individual video track by PID ID

For example, to select programID 0x1234:

To select programID 0x1234 and the French audio track:

To select audio PID 0x456 and video PID 0x567:

Note: If both audioPID and audioLanguage are specified audioPID will be enforced and audioLanguage will be ignored.

Note: Program IDs and PID IDs can be specified in hexidecimal if preceded by 0x or decimal without a prefix.

Note: If a stream is selected by programID and the video or audio PID ids change mid-stream the new PID values in the most recent program table will be used.

Note: Here is a table of language codes:
