There is an article on Adobe site how to turn on system Flash Player and turn off Pepper Flash on Chrome. Enable system Flash Player in Google Chrome | Windows | Mac

With latest Chrome it doesn't work anymore. System plugin is not displayed in plugins list. Please advise anyone!

Thanks,

S

    Hi SergStone

    Google has been planning to deprecate the NPAPI plug-in for a long time. According to this post Chromium Blog: The Final Countdown for NPAPI NPAPI plugins will be disabled by default in April 2015.  This post does contain instructions on overriding the default disabling of the plug-in.  If you have the latest version of Chrome (42) it's most likely why you're not seeing it there. More info here NPAPI deprecation: developer guide - The Chromium Projects and if you do an internet search for 'chrome npapi' you'll get lots more info on this.

    Well that is useful information.

    How do we get the PPAPI version of the plugin to be feature complete?

    For example, my Logitech C930e cam behaves differently under the two different plugins.

    The aspect ratio is different, and under the PPAPI version the microphone simply does not work.

    Is the evolution of the PPAPI version and the identification and elimination of missing bits  covered in another Adobe Forum topic?

    In this thread https://forums.adobe.com/message/7447384#7447384 I was advised to file a bug at Adobe's bug database.

    I'm going to raise issues I face with, but I need to make some testing first.

    I found out that "Pepper" Flash embedded into Chrome and "PPAPI" Flash on Adobe site are different plugins, so after installing latter I can see both in "plugins".

    I wonder if problems I observe in Chrome's Pepper Flash are the same in "PPAPI".

    poetnerd, do you suffer same problems in both PPAPI plugins (Pepper and Adobe's)?
