    Flash is dying
    Hate to be the bearer of bad news after the work you guys put into the Flash streams, but Adobe is stopping development on the mobile version of Flash to focus on HTML5. That is not a good sign for the future of Flash.

    Key words being mobile sure, for now. I'm sure Flash will continue to exist for a while, but this move proves the future lies with HTML5, not Flash.

    And the owners of this site mentioned Android support only via Flash, so if Adobe is cancelling support for it, how much longer until it's pulled from Android due to a security hole?

    Our infrastructure is currently set up to do streaming via HTML5 (hence iOS support). Android does not yet support HTTP LIVE STREAMING (once it does, you won't need flash to view the streams.)

    This is not a big deal at all.

    Thanks
