Mark Phelps 473 Report post Posted January 27, 2015 I regularly use Chromium to access CP. And, since it updates on a frequent basis, apply the nearly-daily updates. Then, starting with Build v42.0.2286.0, when I opened the browser to CP, I got a notice line at the top that Flash wasn't working and that I needed to install it. When I went through the install procedure, it appeard to work, but when I restarted the browser, the notification came back on, again. I reinstalled build v42.0.2283.0, and the notification went away, and Flash was working again. I Googled this and read about how Chromium had changed their handling of Flash -- but this was Months ago, not in the last few days. So, does anyone know why, suddenly, Chromium (or maybe, Google) doesn't handle Flash anymore? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mark Phelps 473 Report post Posted January 27, 2015 i have been having the same problem. i have installed flash 3 times and it still doesnt work. i too use chromium. The way I "installed" Chromium was to unpack the .zip file to its own directory (on a data partition) and then copy that entire directory to Windows\Program Files. That way, when a new version comes out, I unpack it in a separate directory and copy the new chrome-win32 directory over the old one in Program Files. That makes it easy to change versions while keeping settings intact. You might try using build v42.0.2283.0 or older -- those worked using Flash and only the newer builds are failing. BTW, I get my builds from the MajorGeeks website. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mark Phelps 473 Report post Posted January 29, 2015 thanks for the advice mark i'll give that a try I tried following the steps in the link to install pepper flash -- and while that appeared to work, after I restarted Chromium, the same old "needs flash" error message popped up: http://chromium.woolyss.com/#flash BTW, I checked the earlier builds that work, and Flash is already installed in those builds. So, Google has specifically removed Flash from the newer builds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
