It's great however there is no plugin yet available for livecoding.

https://github.com/chrippa/livestreamer/pull/978 just submitted a PR, enjoy!

Yeah I would need to check with my cofounder why we had to use flash there - but I agree it would be better if we could get rid of it!

This is because HLS isn't universally available on desktop browsers and I assume you're using that or rtmp, which is even worse and has no real compatibility anywhere without flash. http://www.jwplayer.com/html5/hls/

I myself had to deal heavily with this while working on live streaming and dealing with the client side.

yeah RTMP...

Yeah, I was immediately disappointed that it wouldn't work without Flash installed.
