Doesn't show the length of a video premiering anymore?

Before, probably a year(?) or so ago, the website used to show you the length of how long a premiere was going to be, but now that information isn't anywhere when you enter in a youtube link that is going to premiere.

Is there something that needs to be done or has that API or whatever it may be been disabled for users to see?

Interesting, I'm not aware of a change to that and not seeing anything in the API revision history. The way I remembered it working was if a scheduled livestream had a video duration before it was live then the video was pre-recorded; if it didn't then it was an actual livestream most of the time. But I wouldn't be surprised if they secretly changed it to no longer display for any livestream until it was over

I see a twitter post from June this year which looks to be it still working, are you certain the scheduled livestreams you are looking up should have a pre-recorded duration value?

Super late reply, but I'm not talking about livestreams.
I'm talking about youtube videos that are already pre-recorded and already uploaded that are set up to be a premiere.

Your website is detecting premieres as livestreams

A long time ago it would detect premieres and show the video length, but it hasn't done that for many months now.

YouTube itself considers premieres as livestreams and so returns livestreamDetails data for premiere videos. That's why I said pre-recorded as well.

However, my website isn't really detecting anything its just returning as much as the API comes back with and tries to make it readable. If they changed how the API returns data to no longer show a duration there isn't anything I can do to fix it. Do you have a premiere video id to provide as an example?
