Description

how to detect live detection on youtube streaming videos

[dirkf]

The extractor marks live streams with the is_live flag in the info JSON, but a live stream is extracted from the time of extraction.

Are you asking for a feature where the program detects the scheduled start of a livestream and defers extraction to that time, or where the program somehow stalls until a valid live stream is available?

You could investigate the experimental --live-from-start option in yt-dlp to see if that's what you want. Or, actually, --wait-for-video ... is what I was thinking of.
