Missing support for direct YT livestream DLs

[emanueljg]

Version running

yt-dlp-web-ui: manually built current master
yt-dlp: v2024.08.06

Describe the bug

• --live-from-start works, but there's 0 logs or visual feedback of it downloading anything (I had to continuously du my destination directory to confirm it was doing anything)
• --wait-for-video flat out doesn't work, and won't start downloading a stream even once it has begun

To Reproduce --live-from-start: Try to download any ongoing livestream with the template --live-from-start.

--wait-for-video:

1. Choose a livestream that has not yet started
2. Start a download in the ui with the template --live-from-start --wait-for-video 60 (check for livestream start each minute)
3. Have livestream start
4. Wait > 60 seconds
5. Check size of destination dir: should not increase, meaning no downloading is occuring

Steps to reproduce the behavior: See above

Expected behavior --live-from-start: Clear feedback from the service, both in logs and UI, that progress is being made --wait-for-video: Should start downloading once video has been detected.

It's a WIP. The feat-livestream-support branch was created to solve this issue.

It will look like something like this

I need to test some edge cases before merge into master
