Additional context
Live started Sept 11th, is the length an issue?
Is there any solution? This is very problematic.
Its strange that official instance doesnt work, while libretube (an android app built on piped api) works
The only Piped instance which handles live streams is https://piped.privacydev.net/ , now and ever since other instances started to fail. Though, concerning this particular instance, better to choose its very api instance to another than its own : adminforge.de is excellent. Why, I have no idea. Impossible to find an explanation. I even emailed this oddity to the owner of privacydev.net who never answered. I've tried them all, https://piped.privacydev.net/ is the ONLY instance that does it. Not to mention that many instances displayed on the Piped instances page have been out of service for some time : why aren't they removed, at least by their owners ? Looks like they've discovered Piped, decided to join, and when their servers no longer handle Piped, they just don't care and leave their Piped instance listed : a total lack of respect.
By the way, this bug is not fixed so why has this thread been moved to closed issues? This is and remains an issue. In whatever Piped instance, search i.e.for 'Sky News' and it will include in its results 'Sky News Live' which does not resolve... except, again, on https://piped.privacydev.net/
