pepperflash issue in 7.4.2

[robbbbw]

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'?

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 !

OK I figured out how to do aboutlugins and pepperflash is not listed in the plugins even though it appears to install properly ?Any suggestions ? Thanks again

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.

Thanks for your help - I will give re-installation a try !

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.
