Right, this is due to a recent change to YouTube where past broadcasts are shown in the "live" section.

I'll make it so that only live or upcoming broadcasts (as you mentioned here)

0941576 should fix this. Let me know if it works! 👍

(You will have to install the git version for now... I will make a full release soon)

Sorry for the off-topicness, but I've created that TikTok comments and replies extracter I was asking for myself. Please pull request this, as I am banned due to my issue spamming in the past, but I've just learned to program instead. https://github.com/upintheairsheep/ytdl-sheep/pull/6/files
