Live streams do not not always have the same video id, this is normal.
You can use;
Live streams have been/are available in HLS or MPEG-DASH. Kodi 15, 16, and 18 all work with HLS, Kodi 17 does not work with YouTube's HLS streams. Kodi 17 and 18 work with MPEG-DASH.
You can use;
Code:
plugin://plugin.video.youtube/play/?channel_id=$CHANNELID&live=$LIVESTREAM_INDEX
$CHANNELID can be found in urls like https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLA_DiR1FfKNvjuUpBHmylQ
$LIVESTREAM_INDEX can be 1 - #, setting this to 1 will pick the first live stream for that channel
