Playlist from YouTube Live Channel using API - youtube-data-api

Question

I have an application that uses YoutTube API to search videos, channels, playlist ... all that working well but I can't get a reasonable playlist from the Live Channel. A query like (where UC4R8DWoMoI7CAwX8_LjQHig is the proper live channel id)
https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/playlists?key=[key]&channelId=UC4R8DWoMoI7CAwX8_LjQHig&maxResults=50&part=snippet
returns 8 items of which 7 are garbage and have nothing to do with what you get on the live channel page (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4R8DWoMoI7CAwX8_LjQHig). Only the "Featured Live Streams" is correct (and when I get video from that playlist, it's the correct list as well)
Thanks
Actual reponse (expected is in the youtube link)
