🐞"Show video remaining duration" breaks YouTube's live stream return-to-live button
Concise Description
When the "Show video remaining duration" option is enabled in ImprovedTube, YouTube's native behavior for live streams is disrupted. Specifically, after rewinding a live video, the "Live" button (which normally jumps back to the current live moment) no longer functions as expected.

Couldn't I fix this issue by simply making the "show remaining duration" check whether the video is a live stream and only apply if it isn't?
