Is it possible to restart a livestream without restarting the container?

[java007md]

I occasionally encounter a problem with a camera dropping off the net due to wifi interference (most often from microwave). The streams saving recordings and snapshots recover once the interference clears, but livestreaming to youtube in particular seems to require a restart to get the stream going again.

Is is currently possible to restart only the livestream process, without restarting the container as a whole?

If not, would that be feasible to implement?

hmm, it should restart the livestream at the same time. Does http://localhost:5000/restart/rtsp_server help restart the streams?

Could also set DEBUG_FFMPEG=true to see if there are any errors with the RTMP stream.

Thanks. http://localhost:5000/restart/rtsp_server does restart the stream, at least in my testing so far. Nothing really jumped out at me with the DEBUG_FFMPEG=true setting, but I'll keep watching. It is tempting to just set up a cron job to restart the rtsp server on a regular schedule, especially when the stream is most likely to be interrupted.
