Hi,

 

I have MMS.cfg file which is working fine for IE 11 but Google Chrome is not picking the same file.

 

How can I make the chrome to work with same file?

Do I need to copy the file in to different location for chrome

We only need a flash to work on the internal site.

 

We are slowly moving to alternat but it's a very slow process for us

 


At the point that Chrome removes support for plug-ins, there's no infrastructure in the browser to allow Flash to run.

 

We'd strongly recommend talking to HARMAN about licensing a secure, maintained solution.

 

Running Flash Player in Chrome after EOL will quickly require running an outdated version of Chrome, which is really not a great solution.

Google Chrome uses its own version of the mms.cfg file, saved at:

  • Mac: /Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Default/Pepper Data/Shockwave Flash/System
  • Win: %USERNAME%/AppData/Local/Google/Chrome/User Data/Default/Pepper Data/Shockwave Flash/System

 

For more information on the mms.cfg file, see the Flash Player Admin Guide

So after Jan 12th / Chrome version 88 that removes flash, where do we need to maintain the mss.cfg file so that Flash will continue to function?

I'm confused - Flash won't function on Chrome once Google removes support for it.
