Avoid live streams with Youtube-dl search

Question

I am having a problem with a program that does a keyword search on Youtube-DL and displays the results. (In this case, Amout is 5, so it searches 5 times.)

This code was created from this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=46ZHJcNnPJ8

The problem is that when the search results include a live stream, Youtube-DL returns "ERROR: requested format not available" and the contents of the function (info) remain empty. (It doesn't seem to contain any other results either.)

By using the "ignoreerrors":True option, you will not be stopped by errors, but errors will still be visible and the "info" will still be empty.

Is there an option in Youtube_dl to bypass the search for live streams? Or is there another solution? Any help would be much appreciated.

My code

async def search_song(self, amount, song, get_url=False):
     info = await self.bot.loop.run_in_executor(None, lambda: youtube_dl.YoutubeDL({"format" : "bestaudio",'default_search': 'auto',"ignoreerrors":True,}).extract_info(f"ytsearch{amount}:{song}", download=False, ie_key="YoutubeSearch"))
     if len(info["entries"]) == 0: return None

     return [entry["webpage_url"] for entry in info["entries"]] if get_url else info

log(The first video would be the live stream.)

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:
