Twitch. Which happens to amuse me, which I like to waste time. But .. they seem unwilling to move away from Flash (the only thing I found was a ~3 year old support thread that wants to .. support HLS. Yay. Not that's not helpful)
- tl 11y agoTwitch without Flash has been available for a while now, if you were willing to use VLC + an IRC client. Twitch HTML5 chat went live on June 30th, HLS was prior to that. I'd say they're open to ditching Flash.
- darklajid 11y agoVLC for HLS I assume (and I only stumbled upon the '/hls' suffix for any url to support that by accident/in that ticket, which still doesn't seem to be officially closed). IRC for chat is absolutely new to me and would actually be quite nice..

- hengheng 11y agoIs there a nice way to get the stream to open in VLC?
- scottjad 11y agoidk about VLC, but with mpv you can just type "mpv http://www.twitch.tv/streamername" http://www.twitch.tv/streamername" and it plays.
- DrJokepu 11y agoTwitch works just fine with HTML5 these days, including chat.
- chippy 11y agoHow do you get the video to play with HTML5?
- DrJokepu 11y agoWorks out of the box on Safari 8 with no Flash installed. Edit: proof: http://i.imgur.com/myfsoNv.png http://i.imgur.com/myfsoNv.png
- rockdoe 11y agoIt's using HLS, so not really HTML5 but an Apple specific proprietary extension. The HTML5 solution is usually to run DASH via a JS demuxer utilizing MSE.
- decisiveness 11y agoWonder if they'll ever ad support for Firefox.
