Variable cache timing

Hi,

We are using this plugin as a church to show every Sunday morning a live stream on our website. And when no live stream is up, we show the playlist.

Since our Live stream is always live on Sunday morning, I would like to explore a way to set the caching timer variable.
When it is Sunday morning, check often when a live stream is available.
but any other day in the week, just check once or twice a day and serve the playlist from cache.

All this to reduce the API calls…

Any suggestion how to build this?

Can I use the filter my_ytl_custom_timeout’ in functions.php that you propose to achieve this?

add_filter( 'wp_youtube_live_transient_timeout', 'my_ytl_custom_timeout' );
function my_ytl_custom_timeout( $message ) {
    
    $now = new DateTime();
    $begin = new DateTime('8:00');
    $end = new DateTime('13:00');

    if(date('D') == 'Sun' && $now >= $begin && $now <= $end) {  
        return '15';
    }
    return '1500';
}
