Describe the issue

proxied whep source stop working after stopping the whep stream. and it doesn't start again until mediamtx is restarted

Describe how to replicate the issue

1. create a path (whep-test), with whep source
2. read with vlc with rtsp
3. stop the whep stream
4. start the whep stream again
5. vlc is unable to read the stream via rtsp
6. deleting and recreating the path doesn't fix it, the path remains broken

trying with rtmp source instead of whep works without problems.

Did you attach the server logs?

yes

[RouquinBlanc]

Getting the same issue in a setup where 2 mediamtx instances are connected via WHEP over the internet:

CLIENTS --RTSP/local--> MEDIAMTX --WHEP/internet--> MEDIAMTX --> source (whatever, but mostly RTSP)

clients fail to get video via RTSP after a while, which we have associated mostly with a restart of the distant instance, but potentially also a temporary loss of connectivity without restart.
