Can you add support for Youtube live streams?

Re: SVPtube: adding support for Youtube live streams!

no, all we can is extract a playlist file but it's rather useless - you can't play it in a video player anyway

These are requests for “playlist files” that contain urls to small video files. The way YouTube Live works is by breaking the stream up into smaller pieces, which are then fetched individually by the client and assembled during playback. The playlist files also contain urls to the next few files

I'm only using it for live streams

SVPtube still my no.1 link extractor because it's faster and all I need to use it is two clicks of mouse (right click and copy) without the annoying command prompt window !  roll
