We recently updated our SIRE application to switch from a Silverlight player to a HTML5 player. The HTML5 player does not support the WMV format that is natively streamed. For this reason, live stream will not work on Chrome. Other browsers (including Safari) do not experience this issue. SIRE automatically converts your videos to MP4 once uploaded so they can be played by the HTML5 player.
The following chart lists compatible operating systems and browsers.
