Non HTML5 browsers will be like IE6 in a few years -- so who really gives a fuck? People with money to spend don't use obsolete software. The fall-back is HLS anyway and those streams are relatively secure. There is a lot more to win here than what there is to lose -- who says you HAVE to? Look at the browsers of your members -- the people who buy. A posteriori knowledge gained by my empirical experience of our customers says IE is the only problem so how long will the Microsoft laggerts have a substantial footprint if they continue in their obstinacy?
We are only investing our development budget in the new HTML5 technologies and in the process of updating relevant related software. Strictly maintenance of the legacy software.
