Flash on Chromium

[lichking21st]

37.0.2039.0 Chromium 32-Bit on Windows 8.1

I can't seem to find a way to register the PPAPI flash plugin on Chromium, I've installed Google Chrome and taken the Pepper flash .dll and done all sorts of stuff with it without much success. There are several guides on how to do this for Linux but none for Windows.

Is this even possible on Windows?

Seeing that you have a Canary build (not even intended for extension developers), try filing a bug at crbug.com/new.

[lichking21st]

However this is not a bug.

After at least 3 hours finally found a link that helped

Run the following with the dll you get from chrome

"%chromepath%\chrome.exe"  --ppapi-flash-path=%pepperpath%pepflashplayer.dll --ppapi-flash-version=%flashver%

[Isiah Meadows]

Okay. Never mind, then.

I don't know every flag of Chromium (too many to memorize...there's already a few meta bugs filed about that issue).

NPAPI flash was already known to be not supported on newer chromium builds, hence why I was trying to get pepper flash working.

[Christian Biesinger]

NPAPI is still supported on windows.

The NPAPI flash I installed, both Flash 13 and Flash 14 beta did not work on either of the two computers I run Chromium on. Other NPAPI plugins I'm not sure about though. But flash I can say with a reasonable amount of certainty that it doesn't work.

[Christian Biesinger]

I don't know why they don't work (maybe 32-bit vs 64-bit?) but it's
not because NPAPI has been removed...

Is it still officially supported on the Canaries? I thought it was already getting phased out of those builds specifically on both OS X and Windows. I know that it's been dropped for a while on Linux, and the only reason it hasn't been dropped for anything past Canary for other platforms is between too large of a user base and NPAPI plugin developers not switching very quickly (I have yet to hear about Adobe putting much work at all into a PPAPI version of Flash).

[PhistucK]

Changes on trunk (which show up in canaries) are usually made in the timeframe of the branch that should include them.

Since we are talking about removing support by the end of the year, I think it will be around Chrome 39 or something. Until then, nothing is dropped as the canaries are supposed to let users test the actual code that is shipped in stable (with the exception of general policies, like allowing off web store extensions, having experimental extension APIs enabled and maybe soon having DCHECKs enabled, among others) and find bugs and crashes in it.

So has anyone else got flash working on Chromium in Windows with the Flash from Adobe rather than the pepper one?

Forgot to hit reply all... Oops

Okay. I just wasn't sure (I'm kinda in the process of fixing my Ubuntu installation along with its hanging right before the login screen). I don't usually use Windows for general performance reasons.

There's the response I got to the failure of the plugin to function on any of the x64 builds.
