Flash won't play any videos through Chrome Canary (or older Chrome versions)

Reported by karlf...@gmail.com, Feb 14 2018

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_13_3) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/66.0.3345.0 Safari/537.36

Example URL:
https://www.vudu.com/content/movies/play/857016/TRAILER?returnUrl=https%253A%252F%252Fwww.vudu.com%252Fcontent%252Fmovies%252Fdetails%252FCoco%252F857016

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Visit vudu.com
2. Try playing any movie trailer
3.

What is the expected behavior?
That the trailer will play. It used to, but suddenly stopped. This was on the last version of Chrome and then I downloaded Canary and it's still not working.

What went wrong?
Seems to be a Chrome issue across the board.

Did this work before? Yes Not sure

Is it a problem with Flash or HTML5? N/A

Does this work in other browsers? Yes

There are thousands of threads and comments out there discussing this issue and it's been going on for many months now. I'm surprised that you, Google, has not taken this seriously enough to fix. Honestly, I've read the responses by the Google reps when people are noting this problem and your reps seem to over pepper them with the same questions and outdated fixes for versions of Chrome that no longer exist/work.

Hi. Sorry, are you asking ME something? I don't quite understand what
you're asking, if so. Thanks.

Working as intended. Chrome now requires a user permission to play Flash.

In any case it appears that Vudu has migrated to HTML5 video.
