Issue descriptionUserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; CrOS x86_64 9000.29.0) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/56.0.2924.28 Safari/537.36 Platform: 9000.29.0 edgar Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Use Public Session 2. Prefer HTML5 by default 3. Visit pbskids.org or starfall.com and try to play a flash game 4. Fail. What is the expected behavior? PluginsAllowedForUrls exists in User Settings. If those sites are added to that setting, those websites work. What went wrong? PluginsAllowedForUrls is not currently available for Public Sessions. This is a bad user experience for kids. Did this work before? N/A Chrome version: 56.0.2924.28 Channel: beta OS Version: 9000.29.0 Flash Version: 24.0.0.186 Yes, you can 'click to play' IF you know to click on the "You do not have Flash installed, click here to download the player" screen (most websites do a 'check' to see if you have flash first, instead of just presenting it). However, in a Public Session this also means you'll have to click to allow Flash every single time you start a new public session. Again, not a good user experience.

Having this same issue - my whole organization of 700 devices is built around being able to utilize Public Sessions in this manner. We are completely crippled until this is resolved somehow.

Having the same issue, affecting my organization

Same issue present, and impacting our student, with over 2,000 Chromebooks deployed in our district.

This is also causing issues with our students. We have over 17,000 Chromebooks in our district and this is effecting 25 to 50 percent. Mostly our younger grades.

Same issue in my district. My youngest students do not have the reading skills necessary to enable flash at each session. Today, March 2nd, I noticed that one website was no longer requiring Flash to be enabled. I checked the settings>advanced settings>privacy content>flash and found that it is now showing the default setting to "detect and run important...". This seems to have resolved the problem.

Our district has the same issue for http://www.sciencechannel.com/games-and-interactives/charles-darwin-game/ We need the ability to manage this with Device Management across a number of buildings.

I believe this issue has been resolved for our district. There is now a dropdown option to "Run plug-ins automatically" within the Public Session Settings > Plug-ins section. After testing a few chromebooks, we determined that Flash is working without user intervention.

Confirmed this new option now exists in the Public Sessions section. Is there a webpage/google doc/etc where user-facing changes to the admin console or to ChromeOS in general are documented? Having to constantly trawl here for things that affect our organization is pretty hit-or-miss.

Similar issue. But at https://www.reflexmath.com/ Click: Login A window opens suggesting you download the latest Flash Player. There is no option to "run anyway." |
