using the permanent live URL results in playing a weird playlist

I entered this URL:
https://www.youtube.com/embed/live_stream?channel=UCLA_DiR1FfKNvjuUpBHmylQ

but the iframe I got had src = https://www.youtube.com/embed/null?autoplay=0&mute=0&controls=0&origin=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%3A8000&playsinline=1&listType=playlist&list=UULA_DiR1FfKNvjuUpBHmylQ&showinfo=0&rel=0&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&enablejsapi=1&widgetid=1

any idea what is going on here?

Not sure if this is related, but I do get an old version of the stream when I enter such URL. It loads fine but displays something different (from the past) than what I would get if I open the url in the browser directly.

Seeing this issue I realize now that what is actually happening is that I'm getting a video instead of the live stream, just like opening the above embed/null opens a rocker launch video whereas the real embed/live_stream opens the livestream.

Seems like the JS API does not support these methods. The only solution I found online is from this stackoverflow thread (2017) that suggests creating an iframe with the constructed url and passing that to the YT instance instance instead of an empty div:

<iframe id="player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/live_stream?channel=CHANNEL_ID?enablejsapi=1"></iframe>

var player = new YT.Player('player', {});
