How to read live streams?

[willemmulder]

Question

I want to read the audio of a live stream. So what I currently do is

const data = await youtube.getBasicInfo(videoId);
const format = data.chooseFormat({ type: 'audio', quality: 'best' });
const url = format?.decipher(youtube.session.player);

Then fetch that data (which is a chunk of 4 seconds of audio) and repeat the process every so many seconds.

It feels quite cumbersome haha. Is there a better way?

Thanks!
