Are there still any remains of Flash on YouTube fo

问题:

I'm working on a Chrome extension and would like to know if there are still any remains of Flash use in videos on Youtube?

When I checked two weeks ago Flash was still in use for live stream, but when I checked today I was happy to see that the live stream is now also using HTML5.

Now I can't take a risk so I would like to know please if there is still any Flash use somewhere in videos in the YouTube world?

I already spent hours of making my extension to work with the Flash player, so I will save it in the side for just in case, and would like to get rid of all that unnecessary code.

The Flash player has been officially deprecated as of January 27, 2015. So as a developer, you really shouldn't use that API anymore. However, protected videos such as movies or TV shows that use the RTMPE streaming protocol still use the Flash player as a form of DRM.

At the time of writing, the Ghostbusters movie and Twister TV series use the Flash player.
