Create solution for YouTube live stream web embed issue caused by fluctuating embed URLs

Here is the issue I need to solve. I plan to broadcast to YouTube live stream each day, with the live stream itself embedded in a website (using YouTube generated iframe embed code) I will be broadcasting during working hours (store related) , and turning off the stream at night. One annoying thing is that if I stop streaming at night then YouTube will archive the video stream (after waiting for some minutes to make sure it's not just a temporary outage). The next morning I start streaming again -- and it will create a new video embed URL. I will then have to update that URL in the iframe code on my website, and I will have to do this each morning, which is not realistic. I am looking for a solution. The solution could involve: 1) Keeping the same embed URL by finding a way to "hold" the live stream while I am not streaming to it -- potentially a third party service that will notice I am no longer streaming and broadcast a placeholder image until I come back and take over the stream, all done automatically. 2) Finding a way to make use of YouTube's permanent live now URL. For example, each YouTube channel will have a permanent URL that will show whatever video happens to be live on the channel. [login to view URL] It's not possible to embed this URL (as far as I know) but by clicking on it you can find the URL of the video that happens to be live at that particular moment -- click share and embed, for example: <iframe width="560" height="315" src="[login to view URL]" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> That olCv7tGpDdo code is the one that needs to be swapped out when a stream gets archive. 3) Some other idea -- open to your suggestion. Use Java somehow, dynamically update the site HTML , etc. I have to use YouTube for this for reasons that I won't explain here, and it also has to be embedded in a website -- so using something other than YouTube isn't an option. If you are interested please include a brief explanation of what route you will take and any related experience solving similar issues. Access to PHP backend is fine. Thanks for reading this.
