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:
|
|
|
|
```yml
|
|
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](/docs/references/control-api) and in the [OpenAPI / Swagger file](https://github.com/bluenviron/mediamtx/blob/{version_tag}/api/openapi.yaml).

|
|
Be aware that by default the Control API is accessible by localhost only; to increase visibility or add authentication, check [Authentication](authentication).
