Description

Livestream videos on Youtube use a m3u8 format. We should get Nginx to stream those files as the retrieving and set-up of the URLs is already done, and also the video-js part for reproducing the hls streams.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Understand how Yotter currently handles YouTube videos and integrate HLS livestream support. Modify the existing download/setup logic to generate an m3u8 playlist and configure Nginx to serve it. Update the frontend (video js) to use HLS.js or a compatible plugin for playback.
