Chrome won't load Plugins (Flash Player)

I have Flash Player enabled on Chrome (as its downloaded and updated automatically) but still, games/iPlayer won't load. The warning, 'Couldn't load plugin.' comes up with no indication as to why. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Note, this issue isn't seen in other browsers nor do I have other Adobe Flash Player Plugins enabled (or installed).

Try:

Go To: C:\Users\<YourID>\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\PepperFlash

Delete the 20.0.0.267 folder

Closer, open Chrome

Flash should work.

Hi,

This issue has been reported several times and I'm unsure what causes. Unfortunately, we've not been able to reproduce.  From searching the web there isn't any one single fix for this as a solution that works for someone may not work for someone else.  Some suggestions users have reported as fixing their problem is:

  1. Complete uninstall and re-install of Chrome, rebooting the system after uninstall and again after install
  2. See the first reply to this disucssion Sudden "couldn't load plugin" for all flash features in chrome, including Twitch and flash-based games.
  3. Check to see if there are multiple versions of Flash Player listed in chrome://plugins.  If so, disable one of them
  4. numerous suggestions here: Google Groups

Also, ensure you have the latest version installed.  This page lists the latest version for supported OS and browsers: http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
