title: How do you use youtube-dl to download live streams (that are live)?
body: <p>Is it possible to use youtube-dl to download video from a <code>.m3u8</code> stream file or other livestream formats?</p>
  <p>When I copy the video URL into YouTube-dl it spits out:</p>
  <pre><code>[https @ 0x7fc351416080] inflate return value: -3, incorrect header check
  Last message repeated 15 times
  </code></pre>
  <p>After that it spits out of couple lines of red text that doesn't seem to want to copy in properly, so I took a snippet:</p>
  <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/jL1vU.png" alt="Picture" /></p>
  <p>Does anyone know if this is possible?</p>
