When the publisher or source of a stream is offline, the server can be configured to fill gaps in the stream with a video that is played on repeat until a publisher comes back online. This allows readers to stay connected regardless of the state of the stream. The offline video and any future online stream are concatenated without decoding or re-encoding packets, using the original codec.

Control API
The server can be queried and controlled with an API, that can be enabled by toggling the api parameter in the configuration:
api: yes
To obtain a list of of active paths, run:
curl http://127.0.0.1:9997/v3/paths/list
The control API is documented in the Control API Reference page and in the OpenAPI / Swagger file.
Be aware that by default the Control API is accessible by localhost only; to increase visibility or add authentication, check Authentication.
