This has been discussed in #151 with @Brotakuu

.live_stream? function that returns whether or not the video is a live broadcast
.live_status function that returns a symbol reflecting the status or nil if it is not a live stream. Potential return values are :live, :upcoming, and :ended, though we should look into the info we can get from Facebook and Youtube first.
Need to figure out how to test, since a broadcast can't be live or upcoming forever.

Looks like facebook similarly has a live_status field that returns enum status of the video.

Right. We'd need to find out exactly what it returns. I'll try to play with it tonight while I'm working on FB support.
