Guessing that they're moving away from Flash like the rest of the web. So no web plugin. Better streaming control. The ability to offer extras like stat overlays, etc. Should provide a lot more stability.

A freaking memory hog on my MacBook Pro. Open to seeing the changes, bring it on.nvalvo said:
I suspect the gains have more to do with reliability than performance, most likely. NexDef was a tire fire. Possibly also battery life.
But, depending on implementation, this may also make it possible for them to make it trickier to defeat the blackouts. Probably not impossible, but more difficult.

Following the link in the first post, I reach the Windows store, but I can't find an MLB.TV app.
Can anybody point a technical numbnut to working source?
Flash itself is buggy, and you have to write a javascript interface in order for the browser to interact with Flash. It's a development pain. If the browser reloads you have to re-start the whole app, and then connect to the stream, etc.SumnerH said:
But the point of moving away from Flash is platform independence via HTML 5, so that you get universal support across OSes and devices. This is actually a step backward in that regard.

If you want better control of the stream, and the data you can provide its really not. They're already writing an iOS app and an android app. What's two more if it offers greater control over the experience you're delivering?
