Description

Streamlink doesn't detect a YouTube live stream when you put in channel home page as parameter. Tested with several YT channels. If I input direct video link works, but detecting that video from the channel page shows a no plugin error

Expected / Actual behavior

Streamlink should find an ID of the live stream and start downloading/streaming it. Instead, no plugin error is shown.

Reproduction steps / Explicit stream URLs to test

Find a YouTube channel that has a live stream
Input: streamlink https://www.youtube.com/c/xxxxxx
Output: error: No plugin can handle URL
