Support Youtube Cookies

[herowinb]

Hi,
I want to monitor/download membership stream or over 18 years olds stream (some game stream need it) on Youtube. I see you are using streamlink to download "status live", but streamlink is not support cookies like youtube-dl (I'm using youtube-dl --cookies /cookies.txt to download live.ts).
Do you really need to use streamlink to download live stream?

Thank you for creating this live-dl.

When downloading livestreams. streamlink is more reliable than youtube-dl. I'll try adding cookies support later this month.

I am currently using youtube-dl and have no problems when downloading livestreams. Maybe it not stable when you use it with proxy.

youtube-dl \
		--ignore-config \
		--hls-use-mpegts \
                --no-part \
		--retries 30 \
		--cookies "./config/cookies.txt" \
		-o "${OUTPUT_PATH}${EXTENSION}" \
		"${WEBPAGE_URL}"

Now added new ability to use youtube-dl for livestreams. And you can pass additional options to youtube-dl or streamlink:

./live-dl UC1opHUrw8rvnsadT-iGp7Cg \
  --debug \
  --ytdl-stream \
  --ytdl-args '--cookies "./config/cookies.txt"'

Update since v1.0.1:

You can not simply put your cookies.txt in the live-dl working directory for cookies support
