Flash works in Chromium What went wrong? Chromium don't find Flash Did this work before? N/A Chrome version: 55.0.2883.87 Channel: stable OS Version: Flash Version: 24 By default Flash is installed in "usr/lib64/flash-plugin" but Chromium don't find it. Can you make it work with this path please ? Thanks !

This issue appears more likely to be a feature request hence marking it a untriaged, so that issue can get addressed.

I think picking up a system installed PPAPI Flash should be a straightforward change. As a short-term workaround, you can launch Chromium with the command line flags: --ppapi-flash-path=/path/to/pepflashplayer.so --ppapi-flash-version=24.0.0.221

Agreed, we should find a way to do this. @Rachel/ Justin - Do we have anyone who could pick this up?

I think this is just a matter of implementing the TODO here: https://cs.chromium.org/chromium/src/chrome/common/pepper_flash.cc?l=150

@Will - If I can sort out the directory paths, any chance that you could land a CL to close out the TODO?

sure, the bulk of the work would be in the testing not the implementation :)

Hey Satoshi, Could you advise on the correct system install path for Flash Player on Linux? Thanks, Anthony

The location of Flash Player on Linux depends on how it is installed. rpm installation /usr/lib/flash-plugin/libpepflashplayer.so (32 bit) /usr/lib64/flash-plugin/libpepflashplayer.so (64 bit) apt installation /usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin/libpepflashplayer.so (32/64 bit) |
