The "Started streaming N minutes ago" that you see on YouTube live streams is not exposed in YouTube's API? |

Description
YouTube and Twitch live streams provide timestamps of when the ongoing live stream has started. It would be useful to have youtube-dl print those in its json output, e.g. so that you could see in mpv (which uses youtube-dl) how long a stream has been live for. So far youtube-dl provides only year, month and day date, but no exact time.
