Input switching from live to file

Hi,

i have a question regarding the switching of the input for a stream.
I want to stream from a tv-card a live-stream to the network.
This is no problem (as seen in the doc and other posts).

But at a certain moment (e. g. when a commercial comes) i want to switch to a movie-file on the server and play it. After the file or files are played, i want to switch back to the life-stream of the tv-card.

This switching should be possible by a manual command or from a script.

How can i solve this problem, without seing the switching on the client (by stopping and starting a new stream)?

Is there a command to switch the input without closing the stream?
