Streamlink version
Latest stable release
Description
I randomly get this error on Windows 10 when fetching YouTube URL using channel id :
Unable to open URL: https://consent.youtube.com/s (400 Client Error: Bad Request for url: https://consent.youtube.com/s)
This is random, sometimes stream fetching works, sometimes no.
And this is related with using the following type of URL, using the channel id instead of a video id :
https://www.youtube.com/c/TinyKittens/live
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCeL2LSl91k2VccR7XEh5IKg/live
It always works fine with URLs containing the "watch" parameter :
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pss7fUAUqrs
I'm doing the exact same test on Debian with Python 3.7 and it always works fine.
