XP/Vista: Flash PPAPI plugin 23.0.0.162 doesn't work in Opera and Chromium

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

Hi,

Our machine is having Chrome 49.0.2623.75 and we installed msi of Flash
player PPAPI 25.0.0.127.

But when we check flash player version it is showing different version may be
the inbuilt flash player version.

We tried deleting PepperFlash folder from localappdata and INSTALLDIR but still
it is not showing 25.0.0.127 PPAPI.

We are getting 22.0.0 version in Adobe Help Link instaed of 25.0.0.127

We need to create Flash player PPAPI for mass
deployment. Please suugest how to take care this issue in the package.

Please don't post the same issue to multiple locations. I have replied to your post at Chrome is not detecting Flash player PPAPI version. Also based on your comments, your issue is not related to this discussion topic.

Can you please provide the following information:

Launch slimjet and go to the plugins page (e.g. chrome://plugins)
Expand the plugins details to show the plugin path
Look for Flash Player entry and take a screenshot of where slimjet is loading Flash Player from
Post the screenshot in your reply.

To take and attach a screenshot see: How do I attach a screenshot?

Thank you.

Of course Maria:

I'm also able to use the NPAPI plugin installed for Firefox (currently disabled to ensure I'm using Slimjet's PepperFlash).

I haven't noticed any problems, but this is on 32-bit Vista, not XP and not Opera.

Running Vista, Opera 36.0

My problem was solved by uninstalling PPAPI version and installing the ActiveX. Seems to work for some reason (I also have Explorer). If you also have Firefox as well as Opera, maybe install NPAPI only?

The bug only impacts the PPAPI plugin. ActiveX Control (for IE) and NPAPI (for Firefox) are not impacted.

I'm using Firefox until this is fixed, I read there was a security problem with Flash so hopefully they'll fix this soon.

No estimate yet. The bug has been assigned to a developer. In the interim you can use Firefox with the NPAPI plugin or IE with the ActiveX Control. I confirmed the bug you reported does not impact the NPAPI plugin or the ActiveX Control.

I'm also using Vista and Opera. I uninstalled the new version of flash player and put the old one back in. It seems to work fine at first, but it keeps reverting back to the one I took out...so right now I have no flash player. Please fix this issue soon. I hope I can reinstall once this issue is fixed. Everything was working fine until I tried to upgrade my flash player.

Have the same issue with Flash PPAPI Plugin for Yandex.Browser (Chromium) on Windows XP.

Looks like the latest update of Flash PPAPI doesn't support Windows XP at all. Is it a bug or Adobe stopped supporting it?

On screenshot you see a comparison of versions 22.0.0.192 (which works fine with Windows XP) and 23.0.0162.

The newer version is using APIs that are not supported by Windows XP.

Thank you. The full version (and OS) information is very helpful.

Opera Web Browser | Faster & safer | Download the new Internet browsers free still doesn't have that version listed. The closest is 36.0.2130.65. I'll use that version. Maybe it'll update to 36.02130.80 after I install it.

My current Vista system is 32-bit. I'll obtain a 64-bit test system and investigate this further.

@pavelx43304547 & kbrakeall,

I have several issues (including yours) I'm working on today. I'll reply back as soon as I can. Hopefully it'll be later today, but may be tomorrow.

Doesn't matter Opera or Chromium, you can download Chromium 49 here Chromium Portable - Browse Files at SourceForge.net and see the same bug like on Opera 36.
