Describe the bug Many releases ago I remember, it was possible to rewind up to 1 hour back from live timestamp, where now it is only around 30s. Is it technical limitation or an oversight?

Frequency All live streams

Steps to reproduce the bug Open any Live stream, that started more than 30s ago, you won't be able to rewind more than ~30s

Device (e.g. Pixel 9 Pro) Redmi note 8

Error report None

I think it's because we are using different playing method. It might still possible to rewind back lives more, but I need time to do more investigation and its priority is relatively low.

As an aside, this would make PipePipe - as far as I know - the only open source app to support playback of livestream beyond the ~30s latest seconds from livestream. Major omission on the whole alternative youtube frontend space in general.

Rewinding YT livestreams works perfectly in LibreTube app, which uses NP Extractor to handle the streams. I guess it suggests this functionality is feasible to implement.

It needs to use DASH manifests instead of HLS to get rewind back on livestreams.
