Description
YouTube added the "n" parameter to the DASH and HLS manifest URLs that they provide for live streams so we need to pass it through YouTube.js' deciphering function. SABR and all other video and audio links have had the "n" parameter for years now, so they probably just forgot to add it to the DASH and HLS manifest URLs until now.
