Topic: question on how to restart a youtube stream after a power outage or ect ect

[Fox_Of_The_Wind]

I been testing streaming setups and so far I have two that I like.
earth cam at https://myearthcam.com/desotowiwx

and YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/embed/live_stream?channel=UCRyGXmkVnlDTwcEVHQRnCag

My question is if I lose internet and get it back my YouTube stream will not restart till I manually restart it (click on the go live butting ect ect ect)

while the EarthCam stream will restart streaming just fine. anyone know of a fix that can get a YouTube stream to restart on its own?

Just a update on my problem. I found out that obs studio will work just fine.

Yeah, OBS is probably your best bet here. I ran into the exact same issue a while back when I had random outages—my YouTube stream just wouldn't auto-resume without manual input. Switching to OBS and tweaking the reconnect delay and retry settings helped make the whole process automatic unless the connection drops for an extended time.

Also, when I was uploading older mobile-recorded clips to stitch into my live recaps, I had a bunch in 3GP that YouTube didn’t like. Ended up using this https://www.movavi.com/video-converter/3gp-converter.html  video converter to reformat them without losing quality. Much easier than dealing with codec warnings.
