see also my post about same issue here:

this needs to be fixed! acutally this is not an idea. It's more a bug or close to what I call a crash in making livestreaming.

​Mark Hildebrandt said:

just tested the auto live. Even if it goes live automatic when getting the connection back to the rendezvous cam (which it actually doesn't...) then how can anyone professionals live with a questionmark in a livestrem if connection is lost? That's really to make us like stupid animal, if Telestream thinks that's good enough for us. After all, the application cost 1000$ right?.... This HAS to get fixed in some way. First with removeing that big red questionmark. What about making a function which allow us to decide what's coming up, if you can't fix that the signal goes live when it comes back, which I actually don't understand why you can't fix. It's just making a special rule for the rendezvous source that this has to be live always, when set in program/live.

Interesting, I have a similar bug in place. Here's the video I made of a VERY repeatable way of showcasing it too.

Interestingly, reconnected sources do correct themselves in the preview pane but NOT in the live view.

Can I bump this up. During a live broadcast Titler Live just died and as I always have that layer open live it did this https://youtu.be/XSiMTGwXenQ?t=5900
There was no title due to be shown but this has ruined a live event.
My suggestion is just show nothing in the live window but show a ? in the Thumbnails or make the thumbnail as faulty, the same could be extended to show if another std source is not feeding.

Thanks

This feature should be obvious. Almost a deal-breaker. If I saw other software with the features I like in wirecast, but it didn't have a big red question mark, I would consider switching to that software.

I was told to make a strong case for this feature, so here it is:

1. This is the only feature in all of Wirecast that forces a creative decision upon the producer.
2. Wirecast lets the producer have the control in all other ways.. except this one.
3. Producers are left with zero creative options when a source drops.
4. "Complete creative control, except in one way." is not a very good selling point.
5. I feel it is an obvious UI/UX miss, and the creative decision to broadcast a giant red question mark is very hard to understand or defend.
