    pepperflash issue in 7.4.2

    I am installing pepperflashplugin-nonfree through the terminal like I have been doing in 7.3, 7.4 and 7.4.1 by first running update and then installing the pepperflashplugin-nonfree and it all seems to install properly but when I start chromium and bring up a video to watch it doesn't recognize that pepperflash has been installed Any help would be greatly appreciatedthanks

    Did you enable it with 'about : plugins'?

    Could you explain how to do that, please - in earlier versions it just worked after installation without having to enable anything in Chromium

    Thanks so much !

    The proper address is indeed "chrome://plugins", but "aboutlugins" also works to list the plugins.

    If pepperflash is not listed there with Adobe Flash Player as its header, it probably means you should do a re-installation.

    Actually you are right. Pepperflash is no longer listed as one of the plug-ins, as it ued to be in older versions of chromium.

    If pepperrflash is correctly installed it should have a folder in '/usr/lib/' and in a few other places (see Synaptic for details).

    Also checkk in:
    Chromium > Settings > Advanced Settings > Privacy > Content Settings > Plug-ins
    which option is ticked.

    Install Chrome.deb Then PFlash will work very easily. You will see it in /opt/google/chrome/PepperFlash will be by default enabled under chrome://plugins

    That may be OK if the user does not mind a browser 'made in Google' instead of the original Chromium.

    And beware of missing dependencies.
