I’d love to hear your feedback and suggestions for future improvements!

Yes I checked it and indeed live streams keep buffering that is because YouTube Live uses HLS (.m3u8) streams instead of regular mp4/dash streams and HLS module isn’t configured. That will be fixed in one of the coming updates. Thank you for pointing that out!
