Does this app support downloading previous live streams from the new live tab that YT has added?

My suggestion is to ask yt-dlp

Let me rephrase, does your app support parsing this URL https://www.youtube.com/Channel/streams from the web gui?

My suggestion is to ask yt-dlp Parsing the URL is completed by yt-dlp, ui does not process it.

Fair enough...

But as a contributor to this app, you have no idea or are unwilling to attempt to answer the question without redirecting a user to another support system?

In fact, I looked through the documentation of yt-dlp, and they did not publicly state that they support or do not support a certain website.

yt-dlp does support downloading live streams, however it's tricky with many holes, for recording live streams i suggest streamlink. However with proper yt-dlp options, it possible to download live streams via yt-dlp from the start. if it's VOD it will download it regardless. for live streams you need extra options to handle them.
