Stream Target Akamai HLS audio group

How to create alternative audio groups in the manifest? I have a single event streaming with multiple langiages and would like to create a alternative language playlist. Like this https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-use-alternative-audio-or-video-tracks-with-apple-hls-streamsbut send the playlist to Akamai

For clarity, when you say a single event, I am assuming a live event? Not VOD? It matters as far as the solution, so I’ll wait for your response.

Yes live I was referring to a live stream and stream targets

Have you come across the push publish map doc yet @Joe Bray? You can send ABR groups to Akamai this way. Scroll down in this file on how to create the map.

Does this help you?

Thanks Rose, but that’s no help at all. I m very familiar with this doc and adaptive groups and generally Akamai push publish maps.

I was asking about alternative audio grouping as in the example page I sent.

I’ll just take it as a no then.

FWIW and as way of help to other users I’m going to have to create one by hand and then give it a funky name and sent it to Akamai using a cron’d curl. It should last a while but Akamai will eventually purge and hence the cron. My auto delete rules in Akamai will omit its deletion.

It would be nice to have a method of doing this via WSE tho.
