Good news for Oz ABC iView Users.

Finally! After first asking them about this in 2016, & occasionally nagging them since, last night i found they have finally removed their dependency on Flash.

No more Flash
As announced in March 2018, the ABC iview development team have been working hard to bring HTML5 (DRM) streaming onto the iview website which removes the need for the Adobe Flash Player plugin. This is an upgrade that has required extensive changes to our video processing workflow and delivery pipelines, as well as the website itself. The new website will no longer require you to download, install or allow Flash in order to watch your favourite shows.Naturally Vivaldi [-Snapshot] continues to stream iView very nicely. Once i verified that, it was a delight to then go & uninstall all Flash from my computers. Yay.
