Hello guys, I start this discussion because in the opera devel 42.0.2372.0, I have figure out some problems.

The flash player does not work

I did try with flash ver.23.0.0.162 and ver.22.0.0.209; In addition, there is an security issue with flash version 22.0, I intend to upgrade to version 23.x or different version of flash from others.

I got difficulty in changing plugin path.

It used to be easy as in documentation "Search with 'General principles of manual installation' Installation of Plug-ins for Opera on Linux ". I suppose to make a new plug-in path for opera instead of using together with google-chrome, but I cannot find documentation talking about this.

That documentation is outdated.

Make sure to install the PPAPI Flash player from Adobe.

Thank you guys. For all who have this issue. Using Adobe Flash Player Version: 22.0.0.209 gonna help you work around this issue. My solution is to download and override the flash player at
/opt/google/chrome/PepperFlash/libpepflashplayer.so

NOTE that it's need to replace libpepflashplayer.so and manifest.json file if you do.

Same problem. I'm using opera latest stable version 40.0.2308.81 upon Linux mint 18 64bit, and I cannot find a way to use flash plugin. I've tried all of the known solutions but no one works. The largest problem is I can use the same version of opera with the same version of flash in Mint 17.3 32bit version on another computer.

After much tribulation, I finally got Flash Player working in Opera, Opera-Next, and Opera-Beta

I simply downloaded the version 23.0.0.207 from Adobe (.gz version), extracted the libpepflashplayer.so file and installed it as follows:

mkdir /usr/lib/PepperFlash

cp libpepflashplayer.so /usr/lib/PepperFlash/

restart browsers and it worked.

From my experience, ronheron's solution is correct. Just had to also cp the manifest.json into /usr/lib/PepperFlash/ and it worked like a charm.
