The command I'm using to download the YouTube Livestream is
youtube-dl --no-part -f [ID] [URL]

Now, this works completely fine. However, it only starts downloading from the present and continues from there. Is there any way to get it to start downloading from the beginning of the stream and then when it gets to the present, just continue downloading alongside the stream?
