I'm following below instructions Chromium 34 and later cannot detect flash plugin But in some Youtube videos I got The adobe flash player is required for video playback and some website show the same error. I've installed latest update of Chromium and Ubuntu and Flash player.

I run sudo apt-get install pepperflashplugin-nonfree then sudo update-pepperflashplugin-nonfree --install (after I run it, have no echo), Then I run sudo update-pepperflashplugin-nonfree --status (No answer again), additionally When I go to chrome://plugins

  • @enzotib Yes, I with sudo apt-get install pepflashplugin-installer and add . /usr/lib/pepflashplugin-installer/pepflashplayer.sh Oct 10, 2014 at 7:41
  • The package pepflashplugin-installer does not exist, its name is pepperflashplugin-nonfree. Also, the file /usr/lib/pepflashplugin-installer/pepflashplayer.sh does not exist. What version of Ubuntu are you using?

you need to install pepperflash for chromium now because it no longer accepts Netscape like plug-ins (the Firefox flash plug-in)

sudo apt-get install pepperflashplugin-nonfree

Restart chromium after installation for the changes to take effect.

Chromium does not support flash at all anymore. If you want to use flash content, you need to use another browser like Google Chrome or Firefox. Google Chrome has flash support built in, while Firefox requires the package flashplugin-installer to be installed to work.

Pepperflash does in my experience work sometimes, but not always.
