Have you tried using the runOnNotReady hook in combination with ffmpeg to stream a file?

[mohsundiod]

tanx, runOnNotReady do it with this config:

paths:
  udp:
    source: udp://238.0.0.1:1234

    runOnReady: ./ffmpeg.exe -i rtsp://localhost:$RTSP_PORT/$MTX_PATH -c:v copy -c:a copy -f rtsp -rtsp_transport tcp rtsp://localhost:$RTSP_PORT/live
    runOnReadyRestart: no

    runOnNotReady: ./ffmpeg.exe -re -f lavfi -i testsrc=size=1280x720:rate=30 -pix_fmt yuv420p -c:v libx264 -preset ultrafast -b:v 600k -f rtsp -rtsp_transport tcp rtsp://localhost:$RTSP_PORT/live

  live:

Problem: the client dissconnect from server. can switch stream on the fly?

[eravellaSC]

Again, you can use a hook: I think runOnDisconnect is what you are looking for.
