I can't get flash player to work in Safari.

Everything is up to date. I've removed and re-installed flash player with no luck. I'm trying to use HBONow which worked up until a few days ago. Chrome & Firefox work fine. I've tried all the 'fixes' posted, checked my versions etc. but still with no luck. I keep getting the message 'Can't play vide. The latest Adobe Flash Player must be installed and enabled in your browser.' I've enabled flash, and double & triple checked that it's enabled. Can someone please help, this is getting really frustrating!

MacBook Pro, 2 months old, 10.12.6.

Safari Version 11.0 (12604.1.38.1.7)

Adobe Flash Player Version 9999.3.183.75

I encountered very similar problems, I haven't got a Mac here to give you the steps, but there are some plugin security settings in Safari that you can set to either block flash entirely, allow it for specified sites, or prompt...

Pretty sure there are some settings in Preferences to specifically allow Flash for specific sites.

Also, not sure if you've tried this;

Enable Adobe Flash Player for Safari

Apple changed (yet again) the Flash Player settings in Safari 11.  We're in the process of updating the Enable Adobe Flash Player for Safari tech note with the Safari 11 behaviour.  Flash is still disabled (off) by default, but the settings location has changed:

  1. Open Safari, and choose Safari > Preferences

  2. Click the Websites tab and scroll down to the Plug-ins section.  Locate the Adobe Flash Player entry

  3. Click the check-box to enable Flash Player.

  4. For ‘When visiting other websites’ setting, select the option of your choosing: Ask, Off, or On

  5. Flash can also be configured for individual websites (domains).  For each website appearing in the ‘Allow websites to use this plug-in with the settings below:’ section, choose: Ask, Off, or On

  6. Exit out of Preferences when finished configuring Flash Player.

I've already tried all of these and it's still not working. I've tried setting it to Ask but it asks me & then says I need to install the latest version!

I later downloaded Flash using the Firefox browser. It worked just like it was supposed to. I suppose now that I have flash properly downloaded, it would probably work with any browser, but I don't know.  Anyway, I am out of the discussion. Thanks.

If you do not see Flash Player in the plug-ins section, it would suggest Flash Player is not installed.

I think I just fixed the problem. Downloaded Firefox and see the xfinity videos that I was trying to get just fine! Never liked Safari that well anyway

Same problem here. None of the answers here solved it. Installed Flash, activated it for all sites, still no video in Safari.

Please see if Remove restrictions on Flash content playing in Safari works for you.  If not, provide the following:

  • Mac OS version
  • Safari version
  • direct link to content that is not working.

I think there might be an issue with the Flash detection on that site.  It appears to be completely ignoring the Flash content.  I tested on several different browsers, white-listing all sites for Flash on the various browser's and he behaviour is the same.  I recommend contacting the content owner for assistance.
