Improve the questionGood day, forumchane!
I ran into this problem-I downloaded the latest version of the Chromium browser on Windows 7/8 (the plugin does not work on both Windows), then I found that the video on the sites is not loaded and the music in contact is not played. A message appears: Adobe Flash Player is not installed, and a link is offered from where it can be installed. I click on the link, the site determines that the player is actually installed, but not enabled. They write that you need to go to: chrome:plugins and activate the plugin, but it is not in the list at all!
The instructions from here didn't help:
Adobe Flash Player plugin.
I downloaded the player from here: Adobe Flash Player
Please help me, I don't know what to do anymore!

Chrome and Chromium are different products. Be careful, Chromium is a source code project that has a lot of build settings. Last year, Google announced that they are abandoning NPAPI, as a result, they have rewritten all the built-in plugins using PPAPI. For Chromium to support Flash, it should be built with a special flag, and for this, as I recall, you need a PPAPI library for your platform.
Chromium 44.0.2359 I put it on the link https://fpdownload.adobe.com/pub/flashplayer/latest/help/install_flash_player_ppapi.exe
I started Chromium everything immediately worked and flash appeared in chrome://plugins. Also in the directory /Windows/System32/Macromed/Flash/ there is a file "pepflashplayer32_17_0_0_169.dll"
@Kristya Only installing the previous version of Chromium will help. I put version 41.0.2258.0 instead of 42.0.2293.0 - problem with Flash Player'om has made up her mind.
I wanted to put a pure Chromium 43.0.2342.0 on XP for the sake of experiment, it turned out that it does not see the flash installed in the system.
From the comment above, I learned about the rejection of NPAPI.
I searched for "plugin" and "flash" in the list of commands (peter.sh/experiments/chromium-command-line-switches).
The --enable-npapi parameter stops the yellow bar from appearing with an error, but does not remove the built-in NPAPI lock.
You can enable it temporarily (Run all plugins this time) or for a specific site by clicking on the icon in the address bar.
The plugin lock icon in this case looks like visible all the time.
By the way, YouTube uses HTML5 despite the NPAPI permission.
It also turned out to connect PPAPI flash when NPAPI is installed in the system.
Pulled the DLL from the PPAPI for Chromium installer from the Adobe website, put it in the program folder.
Launched with the parameters --ppapi-flash-path="pepflashplayer32_17_0_0_134.dll" --ppapi-flash-version="17.0.0.134"
Everything works. The plugin is visible on the chrome://plugins page.
By the way, without specifying the exact version, the number of the old version of the plugin is returned. Then the plugin is not accepted.
Although in this case there is --allow-outdated-plugins ))) The plugin works, but mistakenly asks for an update.
Initially, I was looking for a portable Chromium (there are candidates with chromium.woolyss.com), but I'm not sure that the launcher can pass the parameters.
We'll dig.
P.S. I found very detailed instructions on http://chromium.woolyss.com/#flash
