Disable a live stream
put

Disables a live stream, making it reject incoming RTMP streams until re-enabled. The API also ends the live stream recording immediately when active. Ending the live stream recording adds the EXT-X-ENDLIST tag to the HLS manifest which notifies the player that this live stream is over.

Mux also closes the encoder connection immediately. Any attempt from the encoder to re-establish connection will fail till the live stream is re-enabled.
