Flash settings not remembered

Reported by chrisinc...@gmail.com, Dec 13 2017

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/63.0.3239.84 Safari/537.36

Example URL:
https://music.amazon.co.uk/

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Go to https://music.amazon.co.uk/ with prime subscription
2. Attempt to play music stream
3. Flash is blocked - so music won't play
4. Navigate too:
chrome://settings/content/flash
5. Add https://music.amazon.co.uk to allow
6. Renavigate to https://music.amazon.co.uk/

What is the expected behavior?
Streams should work.  

What went wrong?
Streams don't work.  Chrome blocks flash player.
Manually enabling flash for the site fixes the problem - but next time page loads it will need manually enabling again.

Did this work before? N/A 

Is it a problem with Flash or HTML5? Flash

Does this work in other browsers? Yes

Hi - I'm afraid not these are my Amazon credentials with which purchases can be made!  I'm sure Google can afford a prime account, or can discuss a free trial with Amazon! :)

Thank you for providing more feedback. Adding requester "sc00335628@techmahindra.com" to the cc list and removing "Needs-Feedback" label.

As ET team doesn't have Amazon credentials to test this issue, forwarding to Inhouse team for further help in triaging.

Thanks...

Comment 6 by ericde@google.com, Dec 18 2017

i tried to repro this issue locally myself (though using amazon.com, as my prime membership is in the US). The player in the US doesn't make use of Flash, no blocking involved as it's html5-based vs. flash. (also, I tried windows).

@chrisincardiffuk : are you able to try music.amazon.com ? or are you always routed back to amazon.co.uk (likely, as your amzn acct is tied to UK)?
Interesting.  Sadly it routes me back to music.amazon.co.uk.  
As an experiment I tried adding music.amazon.com to the exceptions but it makes no difference.  

What is weird is I don't see the same issue in the Windows version of Chrome - so I guess in Windows HTML5 is being used - it never asks for flash permission and no exception has been allowed.

Since amazon music is not supported in India and this issue requires amazon prime credentials, adding TE-NeedsTriageFromMTV label for further triage
The Chrome settings file, is not writing out the value when you save it :/

A code commit about 6 weeks back, changed when saving the setting, it is not saved to your preference file,  If you had the preference set before upgrading to a newer version of chrome there is no issues, as the loading / reading of the setting file code has not been changed.

Which is well suboptimal :)

I've tested on Windows 2012 Server / 7, 10, 32 and 64 bit versions with the most recent and older versions of chrome so this should fix them all :)

Your Chrome settings file is located here, you should exit chrome, and make a backup before editing.

In Windows: 
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Preferences

In OS X: 
~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/User Data/Default/Preferences

Open the file with a text editor:

Find the setting: "plugins": which apears after "permission_autoblocking_data" 

replace with this setting to enable flash player

"plugins": {"*,*": {"per_resource": {"adobe-flash-player": 1}}},

or if you want to replace the entire profile section in the setting file with a generic default one:

"profile" : {
		"avatar_index" : 26,
		"content_settings" : {
			"domain_to_origin_migration_status" : 1,
			"exceptions" : {
				"accessibility_events" : {},
				"app_banner" : {},
				"auto_select_certificate" : {},
				"automatic_downloads" : {},
				"autoplay" : {},
				"background_sync" : {},
				"bluetooth_guard" : {},
				"client_hints" : {},
				"cookies" : {},

				"geolocation" : {},
				"images" : {},
				"important_site_info" : {},

				"mixed_script" : {},
				"notifications" : {},
				"password_protection" : {},
				"permission_autoblocking_data" : {},
				"plugins" : {
				"*,*" : {
				"per_resource" : {
					"adobe-flash-player" : 1
					}
					}
				},
				"popups" : {},
				"ppapi_broker" : {},
				"prompt_no_decision_count" : {},
				"protocol_handler" : {},
				"sensors" : {},
				"sound" : {},
				"ssl_cert_decisions" : {},
				"subresource_filter" : {},
				"subresource_filter_data" : {},
				"usb_chooser_data" : {}

			},
			"pref_version" : 1
		},
		"exit_type" : "Crashed",
		"exited_cleanly" : true,
		"icon_version" : 4,
		"last_engagement_time" : "13156449498380465",
		"managed_user_id" : "",
		"name" : "Person 1",
		"observed_time" : 7,
		"was_obsolete_http_data_cleaned" : true
	},

You can use the value of 1 to never ask you to run flash just do it :)  or 2 to prompt if you would like to run it :)

wish you well on your side of the screen,

This doesn't seem to work for me. The file is rewritten after I make changes to it and then start Chrome - reverting to the file to it's previous state.

In any case the file does appear to match what is stored in the chrome://settings/content/flash area.
