[Bug] Livestreams aren't ended in the manifest

[tenpura-shrimp]

It looks like currently there is no end element in the hls manifest, so videojs will keep polling the manifest for the next one, because it thinks the livestream is still happening

I looked into this more. Seems like youtube never sends the stream ended tag in the manifest, which is a violation of the dash standard. Videojs understandably does not acccount for this.

I checked how it's done in streamlink and they simply have a timeout if the manifest is expired for too long. We can implement something similar for invidious. I can also check what newpipe does.

The other issue the the videojs polling interval for this, which is like 10x per second.

Still relevant?

This is very relevant and cause useless requests because the videojs client will still try to continue fetching the video stream when the actual livestream has ended.

Alternative is to switch to DASH manifests for livestream.
