I tried livestreamer and now I get a signal, but it appears to start at the beginning of the stream about 1 year ago with no audio. I used:
pipe:///usr/bin/livestreamer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fih5Wpe6ac4 720p --stdout
While adjusting the resolution, I once got the 'live' feed, but no audio. After adjusting the resolution to one of the others, and changed it back to 720p, I start at the beginning.
The log entry for using the 'best' option is below (This time gave me the live feed without audio):
