Any idea how to play this on Fedora without flash? I've tried gnome-twitch that crashes a LOT and now trying to use livestreamer-twitch-gui which is not able to find the stream. livestreamer http://www.twitch.tv/twitchinstallsarchlinux http://www.twitch.tv/twitchinstallsarchlinux says it cannot find any streams on this URL.

There's no stream on that URL because the stream isn't currently live. The event starts Tomorrow at 4pm EDT. Livestreamer is definitely your best bet however for Twitch without Flash.

  Thanks. Wasn't sure as the chat is live.

    Chat is always live on twitch, it's just a wrapped IRC channel.

The stream is offline (it starts tomorrow) so livestreamer won't find it now. I'm not on Linux ATM but Twitch moved to HTML5 video a while ago [1]. You should be able to watch it in Chrome. Firefox seems to show a black window for all streams because of a JS error apparently. I uninstalled Flash a while ago (and turned it off in Chrome) and have been watching Twitch with no issues. 1. http://blog.twitch.tv/2015/07/video-player-controls-now-in-html/ http://blog.twitch.tv/2015/07/video-player-controls-now-in-h...

  Are you sure Twitch is on HTML5? IIRC, the blog post you linked to only mentions the controls being in HTML5, not the player itself. The other component that switched from Flash to HTML5 was the chat player I believe. Attempting to watch Twitch with Flash disabled on Chrome and Firefox on Windows displays the "You need Adobe Flash Player to watch this video. " message.

    If you append /hls to the URL you'll get to the HTTP Live Streaming player.

mpv with youtube-dl also supports live twitch streams so you can give that a try too.

You could use Chrome which bundles Flash. The RPM is linked on the download page https://www.google.co.uk/chrome/browser/desktop/ https://www.google.co.uk/chrome/browser/desktop/
