Fallback stream/image when input stream lapses #965

I have issue with an ip camera sometimes having an error and stopping sending the rtsp stream which sometimes causes the youtube stream to end. If I could set Restreamer to automatically start outputting a black screen or some other data when it is not receiving input data then it would be able to preserve the stream and switch back to the main input when it is restored. This feature is apparently something that others want as I've found multiple threads on stackoverflow asking how they can do it with ffmpeg and the consensus was that it's not easy. I did find this thread with a potential solution although I can't use it with Restreamer https://stackoverflow.com/questions/73251603/fallback-input-when-blackscreen-ffmpeg

I had considered setting up a second stream on a remote server that just outputs a black screen as a fallback stream but there is no way to switch back to the main stream on youtube without somehow turning off the fallback stream and I'm not sure how I can detect when Restreamer is receiving the input again and once again outputting the stream.
