Hi,
I have seen that there is youtube software for downloading youtube video's but does anybody know of any software to find the url of a youtube live video??
if you put the url of a live youtube video in vlc player it just freezes
example : the url for al jazeera news is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WAt9ZT2CQWg, if you put this address in vlc it will freeze.
Any help will be much appriciated.
Many thanks

Maybe somebody can come up with a better idea. You can record the live stream with this (but cannot watch while downloading):
Code:youtube-dl -f 93 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WAt9ZT2CQWg
Code:youtube-dl -f 93 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WAt9ZT2CQWg -o - | "C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" -
If you press the red record button on vlc while the video is playing (see screenshot, red circle) , then vlc will record the video to a file.
Even though the video as watched in vlc may start/stop/pause/resume, the recorded vlc file should play perfectly. Something seems strange, though because the command line shows I was downloading at about 10fps, so it seems that some video would be lost in the vlc recording. -
Sometimes you can play the video file while it is downloading (eg, use VLC to open the file that youtube-dl is saving) but it doesn't work for this video.

I thought there might be a way to pipe the video to ffmpeg and have ffmpeg remux to a .ts file that could be played while the video was still downloading.
Code:youtube-dl "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WAt9ZT2CQWg" -o - | "G:\Program Files\ffmpeg\bin\ffmpeg.exe" -y -i pipe:0 -c copy -f ts output.ts -
