livepeer_cli for Broadcaster: "Error getting status" on startup and when calling "Get node status"

[chrishobcroft]

Summary

When using the livepeer_cli to configure a Broadcaster, the following message is displayed in the cli UI on a) startup, and b) calling 1. Get node status:

ERROR: logging before flag.Parse: E0116 11:52:21.005601    6268 wizard_stats.go:28] Error getting status:json: cannot unmarshal string into Go struct field OrchestratorLocalInfo.OrchestratorPoolInfos.Url of type url.URL

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Run livepeer in -broadcaster mode with the following command (for completeness):

./livepeer -broadcaster \
        -network rinkeby \
        -ethUrl https://rinkeby.infura.io/v3/888a...243d \
        -pixelsPerUnit 1

2. Observe the aforementioned error message being displayed (see screenshot)
3. Run option 1. Get node status
4. Observe the aforementioned error message being displayed (see screenshot)

Expected behavior

I expect the livepeer_cli to not display unnecessary error message, in order to give new Broadcasters a feeling that the software is robust and mature for their usage.

Environment

• Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS
• livepeer 0.5.25

I assumed the warning: "ERROR: logging before flag.Parse" is what we need to suppress here. The linked PR fixed this. I wasn't able to reproduce the "Error getting status:json" error.
