Details

Steps: Disable Flash in Firefox, then try to view a live stream. Result: "Error loading player: No playable sources found" Expected: "Live streams currently require Flash, sorry" (long-term, I hope it won't always require Flash, but for now the error message should be better)

There's not a ton we can do about this because of the way Vid.ly works. We're basically just relying on them to play the video in an iframe. However, we're in the works of doing the playing with our own javascript code and bugs like this are important to remind us to get it right :)
