Just copied the pepper flash libs from the Archlinux armv7 distribution to /usr/lib and
added these flags to the file:
/etc/chromium-browser/default
CHROMIUM_FLAGS=“–ppapi-flash-path=/usr/lib/PepperFlash/libpepflashplayer.so”
If you follow this example you may need to create the directory PepperFlash:
sudo mkdir /usr/lib/PepperFlash/
and then copy the file libpepflashplayer.so there.
Then I installed the “Magic actions for Youtube” extension in Chromium and forced the use of flash for video playback.
Result:
Flash video (Youtube and others) works nice in Chromium, also Flash games are working now.
Currently I can not find the chromium pepper flash package in the Ubuntu 14.04 armhf package archives, why is this missing ?
You can do the steps listed above, or you can use a small script I wrote that will automatically download chromium and the flash libs needed and install it all for you. I use it to quickly get the flash player working again everytime I completely flash my board. You can download it at the link below,
Hey no problem. Thank you for filing that bug report. I just got tried of having to perform the same steps every time I wanted to flash my board. Hopefully it gets fixed soon!
I copied libpepflashplayer.so and all of the other files you linked to to /usr/lib/PepperFlash/, and added the flag to /etc/chromium-browser/default, but when I try to use Flash in Chromium, it tells me that “Shockwave Flash has crashed.” This appears immediately after loading a Flash-enabled page.
