Description

With the YT webplayer it is possible to go back in time of any live stream up to 2 hours. Would something like this be possible with streamlink?

@Troyciv this is already 100% possible!

Assuming you are using the HLS streams on Youtube (which you likely are), you can use one of 2 different options to accomplish this:
--hls-live-restart will take you as far back in the live stream as possible (if it's less than 4 hours it should take you back to the beginning, as long as the streamer allows "rewind)
--hls-live-edge ## where ## is a number of segments to rewind

You can also use the --hls-start-offset option :)

eg. --hls-start-offset 00:10:00 to rewind 10 minutes.
