Jesus, Twitch is still using Flash? What year is it anyway?

  Yeah, right? That said, you can avoid the Flash by streaming the video to a native video player with ttp://docs.livestreamer.io/

    Interesting. I tried livestreamer first and got an error about it not recognizing the URL pattern, but then I just upgraded and it seems to be working

  I'm seeing the HTML5 player.

    What browser? I'm using chrome, and I had to use the devtools to hide the overlays so I could get it to play. Now the video is showing behind the text on the page, but at least I can see it.

      I seem to get the HTML5 viewer by default in Firefox on OSX.

  https://player.twitch.tv/?channel=bwatanabe&autoplay=true&html5=true https://player.twitch.tv/?channel=bwatanabe&autoplay=true&ht... html5=true will play html5. But I had to disable every possible ad/tracking blocker (even Firefox native) for it to work, kind of ridiculous. P.S. The deer crashed, so its not moving.

  Getting streaming to work in HTML5 is magnitudes harder than normal video. You can't compare Twitch to other web video players. In fact, there is no official support for live streaming in HTML5. http://stackoverflow.com/a/22001830/5917315 http://stackoverflow.com/a/22001830/5917315
