First check what ended: the video playing inside IRL Pro, IRL Pro’s outgoing encoder feed, or the YouTube broadcast itself. If YouTube still shows the broadcast as live, the encoder must keep sending content; if YouTube has ended the broadcast, start a new one in Live Control Room. Available documentation does not confirm that IRL Pro can automatically loop a finished local video or keep the feed active after it ends.
Identify what ended
“The video ended” can describe three different states, and the fix depends on which one you see:
As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
- The media source ended: A local video or other source inside IRL Pro reached its end. The YouTube broadcast might still be live, but the available documentation does not establish whether IRL Pro loops that source or has a standby option.
- IRL Pro stopped sending: The encoder feed is no longer reaching YouTube. Check the app’s connection status and whether it is still sending content.
- YouTube ended the broadcast: The live broadcast is over, not merely waiting for another video. Start a new broadcast in YouTube Live Control Room rather than assuming that reconnecting IRL Pro will resume the old one.
YouTube’s guidance is explicit: “To end the stream, stop sending content from your encoder.” For scheduled streams, YouTube also instructs creators to click End Stream and stop the encoder. YouTube Help: Create a YouTube live stream with an encoder

Do not click End Stream if you want the broadcast to remain live. The encoder needs to keep sending content. If the local video has ended, check IRL Pro’s current documentation or ask its support team whether the app supports looping that media or switching to a standby source; do not assume either feature is available.

Keep the YouTube broadcast state separate from the media-source state. A finished local clip does not, by itself, tell you whether YouTube still considers the broadcast live. Check YouTube Studio’s live status and IRL Pro’s outgoing-feed status before changing settings.
If IRL Pro shows “No signal” or keeps reconnecting
A third-party IRL Pro setup guide reports that a reconnect loop with “No signal” can occur when the configured publish URL is invalid. It identifies changing the key’s region or protocol, or rotating the key, as situations that can leave the app with a stale URL. This is guidance from Enhanced IRL Docs, not official IRL Pro documentation.

See Enhanced IRL Docs: Broadcasting with IRL Pro for the described URL troubleshooting. Confirm current app menus and device support with IRL Pro’s official information.
If YouTube has ended the broadcast
Open YouTube Live Control Room and create or start a new broadcast. Do not assume that restarting IRL Pro alone will attach it to the ended broadcast; YouTube’s encoder help describes ending a stream by stopping encoder content, but does not document that restarting an encoder resumes a broadcast YouTube has already ended.

YouTube says streams under 12 hours are automatically archived. That is an archive rule, not a promise that the archived broadcast can be resumed. YouTube Help: Create a YouTube live stream with an encoder
Check copyright and YouTube live-stream rules
Keeping an encoder connected does not guarantee that YouTube will keep a broadcast available. Make sure you have rights to the video and audio you stream, and follow YouTube’s applicable live-streaming and content policies. A loop or repeated playback does not establish that you have permission to use the material. Review YouTube’s current requirements in its encoder-streaming help and check rights before broadcasting.
