After flash updated to version 23.0.0.162 PPAPI plugin stop working in all Chromium based browsers (except Chrome, because Chrome use integrated PPAPI version 22.0.0.209). Chromium based browsers (Chromium 49, Opera 36) on flash content show message "couldn't load plugin."

In IE and Firefox Flash plugin work fine (and Chrome too because use 22 ppapi plugin version).

I replace pepflashplayer32_23_0_0_162.dll to ppapi dll version 22.0.0.209 from Chrome and Chromium based browsers start showing flash content again.

Please fix PPAPI dll. This trouble stole 3 hours of my time.

OS: Windows XP SP3 32bit

Browsers: Opera 36, Chromium 49

    If your OS Windows, you can replace pepflashplayer32_23_0_0_162.dll in your system to pepflashplayer.dll from Chrome browser and rename it to pepflashplayer32_23_0_0_162.dll

    This fix work fine for me.

    1. Uninstall Flash PPAPI plugin 23.0.0.162 from Control Panel.

    2. Download Flash PPAPI plugin 22.0.0.209 from

    http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/licensing/win/install_flash_player_22_ppapi.exe​

    3. Install it.

    4. Be Happy .


    Могущество в Единстве​'s ​solution helped me.  Thank you. 

    Make sure to select the option NOT to update Adobe for the future.

    You must install version 22 or lower.  Download Flash PPAPI plugin 22.0.0.209. 

    Anything higher than 23+ breaks it.  I had to uninstall 23 PPAPI.

    I'm using Opera on a WIn XP machine.

    Extra notes:

    Google / YouTube was forcing my vidoes to HTML 5 which is not well supported.

    If you cannot solve the problem, use the old Google browser in the meantime.  Although Google stopped supporting it for Win XP, it still works.  Just use an older Flash plugin.
