Embedded HTML5 player can't resolve redirects #491

Some Twitch accounts have redirecting names such as twitch.tv/esa or twitch.tv/toufool to europeanspeedsterassembly and toufool31 respectively. These do not redirect properly: http://player.twitch.tv/?channel=esa

Every other aspect (chat, the data for the overlay, etc.) resolves correctly, so I don't believe this is intended behavior.
