Video incorrectly identified as "streaming live" and thus unavailable to download

[tomshaffner]

Describe the bug Failed to download with error: _5bgku9j1Og: _5bgku9j1Og is streaming live and cannot be loaded

This occurs for a number of videos, including OPNEzAduzIc, qPu51wNto2k, and KSljLOY4p4k, among others, and in none of these cases is the video live streaming.

This error is thrown with this line:

yt.streams.get_audio_only()

Or this one:

yt.streams.filter(only_audio=True).first()

After setup with this line:

yt = YouTube(f"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v={video_id}")

In other cases it works fine and a subsequent audio download works great. Not here for some reason.

Expansion on the error I get, starting at the pytubefix level:

@JuanBindez We need to remove the"isLiveContent" check

From video:

                    "viewCount": "32",
                    "author": "Town of Huntersville, NC",
                    "isLowLatencyLiveStream": false,
                    "isPrivate": false,
                    "isUnpluggedCorpus": false,
                    "latencyClass": "MDE_STREAM_OPTIMIZATIONS_RENDERER_LATENCY_NORMAL",
                    "isLiveContent": true
                },

Thanks, this was enough info for me to figure out my next step. For the moment in my own use case I just commented that check out in my package code and that worked great. Will look for a fix at some future point but I'm good for now; much appreciated!
