+1. Not sure why anyone would want to play video (I guess it's a video? I don't do Flash either) through Flash nowadays... Isn't it easier and better to just use HTML video tag?

With live video you don't really have a choice if you want compatibility with all browsers.

  Not really - there is no flash on (most?) mobile devices. You can also use JS detection. For instance, Youtube uses Flash unless you allow google.com & googlevideo.com, then it uses HTML video tag. It's not like it costs you anything to add HTML video tag.

    live video. There is no cross browser compatible format for live streaming.

      Sorry, missed "live" word. I don't have any (recent) experience with that, so can't comment on that. But in case of OP's page the video is not live.

    You can also submit your preference to YouTube, even if you _do_ have Flash: https://www.youtube.com/html5 https://www.youtube.com/html5
