The stream is offline (it starts tomorrow) so livestreamer won't find it now.

I'm not on Linux ATM but Twitch moved to HTML5 video a while ago [1]. You should be able to watch it in Chrome. Firefox seems to show a black window for all streams because of a JS error apparently.

I uninstalled Flash a while ago (and turned it off in Chrome) and have been watching Twitch with no issues.

Are you sure Twitch is on HTML5? IIRC, the blog post you linked to only mentions the controls being in HTML5, not the player itself. The other component that switched from Flash to HTML5 was the chat player I believe.

Attempting to watch Twitch with Flash disabled on Chrome and Firefox on Windows displays the "You need Adobe Flash Player to watch this video. " message.

If you append /hls to the URL you'll get to the HTTP Live Streaming player.
