This _seems_ to work for me:

# grab YouTube live stream URL using youtube-dl
$ youtube-dl -g <YouTube live stream URL>
$ ffmpeg -i 'https://manifest.googlevideo.com/api/manifest/hls_playlist/[...]/index.m3u8' -c copy -listen 1 -f mpegts http://hostname_of_this_machine:8888

Insert the determined HLS URL and the correct hostname of your machine.
You can now access
http://hostname_of_this_machine:8888
from other machines in the network, assuming routing, firewalls and so
on are okay. I used MPEG-TS for streaming, YMMV.
