Fix streams channel config getting stuck in loop #38

Closed TheAwesomePossum closed 8 months ago

TheAwesomePossum commented 8 months ago

I just started using your library and while using the command, python3 cli.py --media youtube --params redirect, the process was getting stuck in loop while trying to get the channel ID at the following command:

yt-dlp --compat-options no-youtube-channel-redirect --compat-options no-youtube-unavailable-videos --restrict-filenames --ignore-errors --no-warnings --playlist-start 1 --playlist-end 1 --print channel_url https://www.youtube.com/{channel_name}/streams

running it manually showed the following error: ERROR: [youtube] {stream_id}: This live event will begin in 50 days.

If you are using the streams specific url for a channel and the channel has a planned stream that hasn't started the get_id function will continue to retry in a loop.

My solution is to knock off everything in the channel url from 'stream' on in order to find the base channel ID and let the function move on.

Thank you very much, I just approved the merge.
