ihf@ can you take a look and see if this is a flash issue or if MLB made some change in their player?

Dylan, you usually watch, is it working for you? 

I assume they might have changed from flash DRM to something else. David or Eric should know.

likely to be similar to c/585144, where NHL also stopped working on CrOS. both MLB & NHL use the same player infrastructure. ETA for update from MLB was "mid April". I've reached out for an update.

Again, why can't I get MLB?

Because MLB checks if a client is a Chromebook and currently decides not to serve to Chromebooks. We hope they will change their position.
