1 year ago You can use the "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPm_OqrzMIs" url instead. In fact, the live URL you linked redirects to the /watch endpoint.
If someone wants to make a PR for this, that would be appreciated.
Basic information
Describe the bug
Youtube live links show 404 error not found. Simple bypass is changing url to format "https://youtu.be/videoid".
Command/Code used
If running from the command line, provide the following:
