Question regarding youtube live streams. I know that youtube-dl (or more precisely mpv through its ytdl hook) can play youtube videos (it's main purpose) and play live twitch streams. But when I tried to play youtube gaming live stream, it just played some past streams like a playlist. (the channel was https://gaming.youtube.com/channel/UCPq2ETz4aAGo2Z-8JisDPIA, but that may not be streaming 24/7). I've tried with some other stream in a more conventional url format (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QvvKBD6j5Cs) and that worked. So I guess part of the questions is are youtube gaming streams dramatically different? Am I doing something wrong?

I figured that I was really looking at the channel page and the live stream still worked. If I tried to play the actual stream url, it worked. Sorry, my derp.
