I have installed Epiphany browser, and really like it because of it's startup time and small footprint. However, I am unable to make youtube or huhu videos (anything that requires flash) to run on Epiphany. Can you please help me with the configuration. I have Firefox and opera both on my system, and both are able to play Flash based videos on the web.

Flash is GTK+2 and Epiphany is GTK+3...that's the problem.

  1. install flash sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer
  2. install nspluginwrapper sudo apt-get install nspluginwrapper
  3. sudo nspluginwrapper -i /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/libflashplayer.so
  4. nspluginwrapper -v -a -n -i

worked for me! 11.10 – suli8 Feb 6 at 13:31
didn't work in 12.04. $ sudo nspluginwrapper -i /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/libflashplayer.so --> nspluginwrapper: no appropriate viewer found for /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/libflashplayer.so – alfC May 21 at 8:41

Go to http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html or http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ in Epiphany.

It should show you if you have flash installed, maybe there is another issue. Flash in Epiphany worked the first time I installed it and loaded youtube.

I've already tried it.The problem is that Flash works with Firefox, but not Epiphany. I've manually tried adding the Libflashplayer.so file to plugins for Epiphany, but it still does not work. can u suggest any other way ? – Jigar.Shah Oct 4 '11 at 6:57
