Flash player in Epiphany

Question

I have installed Epiphany browser, and really like it because of it's startup time and small footprint. However, I am unable to make youtube or huhu videos (anything that requires flash) to run on Epiphany. Can you please help me with the configuration. I have Firefox and opera both on my system, and both are able to play Flash based videos on the web.

Flash is GTK+2 and Epiphany is GTK+3...that's the problem.

install flash sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer
install nspluginwrapper sudo apt-get install nspluginwrapper
sudo nspluginwrapper -i /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/libflashplayer.so
nspluginwrapper -v -a -n -i

I'm on Xubuntu 12.04, the lib is in /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/.

So in my case the code is:

sudo apt-get install nspluginwrapper
sudo nspluginwrapper -i /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/libflashplayer.so
nspluginwrapper -v -a -n -i

I'm on Ubuntu 12.04 and in my case I installed flashplugin using Ubuntu Software Centre and so it installed the plugin at /usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so. I did following and Flash worked perfectly in Epiphany 3.4.1.

sudo apt-get install nspluginwrapper
sudo nspluginwrapper -i /usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so
nspluginwrapper -v -a -n -i

If you are using Ubuntu 64-bit, install adobe-flashplugin:i386 instead of adobe-flashplugin, before using nspluginwrapper.

sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin:i386 nspluginwrapper
nspluginwrapper -v -a -n -i

Go to http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html or http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ in Epiphany.

It should show you if you have flash installed, maybe there is another issue. Flash in Epiphany worked the first time I installed it and loaded youtube.

NPAPI plugins are (unfortunately) no longer supported by major web browsers. PPAPI is the new way. Fortunately, a very good open source project called Freshplugin allow any browser to use flash player PPAPI from Chrome in Linux.It means that the last flash player update will be used in any browser, even epiphany. You must have Chrome installed. https://github.com/i-rinat/freshplayerplugin
