Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

Hi, I'd like to know how to download Livestream from a specific channel. That specific channel keeps livestream once everyday. What I need to know is how to download all the livestreams from that specific channel.

Example:
Day 1: Livestream about monkeys have started and another livestream about alligators have started too. How to download both of them without typing their IDs. I'd like to input only the channel ID and then download all the running livestreams using the same command (maybe opening multiple instances).

If I use the command to download the whole channel, will it download the live streams too?
It'll be useful for me because I'll make Eventghost run a bat to download all the channel videos just skipping the already download ones.

Short, you can't download livestreams simultaneously without running separate instances of youtube-dl per video id.
