[YouTube Downloader] YouTube Live replays download

Description

Hey Vimtor, I see the extension doesn't accept youtube.com/live/123456 type links yet.

Super easy fix, those can be directly converted to a "watch?v=" type link because the id is the same.

youtube.com/live/123456 -> youtube.com/watch?v=123456

And then from there be downloaded with the extension

Who will benefit from this feature?

Everyone will benefit (:

Anything else?

Thanks for the suggestion @leofritsch!

Let me check if the YouTube API that the extension uses supports downloading those kinds of videos.

@vimtor Ah I should have mentionned also, I tried converting the "/live" to "watch?v=" myself and it works every time this way so it probably should work if you convert the URLs?

Not sure about "live" lives.

@leofritsch checking back on the extension, I remembered that it currently does not support downloading live videos. In fact, it shows an error message when you try to download a live video:

I don't understand how you were able to download them 😅

Perhaps you are downloading already finished livestreams?
