LGTM, should i create a bug report for incorrectly labeling the video as live instead of premiere in the player?
|
in the videojs player? |
|
Yeah |
|
not sure if video.js lets us change that, other than to just remove it. |

@PikachuEXE is that with or without this PR? That error occurs when it tries to use DASH for live premieres, as it was treating them like normal/non-live videos before this pull request. |

With and without this PR. That's why I am not sure if it's supposed to be fixed by this PR |

Fix live premieres being treated as non-live videos

Description
Currently we detect live videos on the watch page by checking isLive and isLiveContent, that is fine for normal live streams but for currently live premiere videos, the isLiveContent property is set to false. That caused live premiere videos to be treated as normal videos, causing errors.
I've now switched the check to just isLive. isLiveContent is still useful for detecting live stream replays, which we use to show a "streamed on x" text instead of "published on x" text.
Another way to look at it, is that anything with isLive and isLiveContent set to true, is being streamed from somewhere to YouTube and then to you, anything with isLive set to true but isLiveContent set to false, is already entirely on YouTube's servers so it's only getting streamed from YouTube to you.
Testing
Find a stream on https://www.youtube.com/@live (click on the live now header to see all of them that are currently live) that is live but is marked as premiere (scrolling down to load more and CTRL+F is your friend), you may have to use the 3 dots menu in the top right of the website to change location if there aren't any listed for your current location.
