None of the versions of Opera runs a site with flash even in the block exception list

I've had flash stop working only on Opera twice in the past. It's been a while so I don't remember if it happened during an update or what. I do remember that it was working on Chromium. Each time, I fixed it by updating Flash.
Download the flashplayer from Adobe and extract the file libpepflashplayer.so from it. Copy it to /usr/lib/pepperflashplugin-nonfree
I update flash that way now as it seems the switch to pepflash messes up updates.
Hope that helps.

@leocg I long time ago I switched to adobe-flashplugin and everytime works great including now.
It appears that something get wrong with opera but Chrome and Chromium works fine. -

@minuteman I switched long time ago to adobe-flashplugin because that.
And I ever maintain updated manually if necessary.
And you forgot to mention that manifest.json its necessary to be updated too or cause a mess. -

@minuteman If you take a deep look on the screenshots that I have uploaded you perceive that currently I'm using flash version 28.0.0.105 and this is a beta from adobe labs and it's the more recent.

@sgunhouse Yep.
And to use the non-internal version just add the following list of keys getting like this (in the example it is in the Windows version being that in Linux is very similar):chrome.exe --disable-bundled-ppapi-flash --always-authorize-plugins --allow-outdated-plugins --ppapi-in-process --enable-nacl --ppapi-flash-path=c:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash\pepflashplayer64_28_0_0_105.dll --ppapi-flash-version=28.0.0.105
Remember that specifically in my case both Linux and Windows this is the version that I have installed.
And on both systems Opera (Stable, Beta or Dev) have the same problem even if the site is in the exception list to run flash content. -

In case you're using Linux depending where the flash .so file.
In my case for example the command line is like:/usr/bin/google-chrome-unstable --disable-bundled-ppapi-flash --always-authorize-plugins --allow-outdated-plugins --ppapi-in-process --enable-nacl --ppapi-flash-path=/usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin/libpepflashplayer.so --ppapi-flash-version=28.0.0.105

@msxmaniac but the last versione of flash player is 27.0.0.187. Error or beta version? with opera 48.0 works correctly

@scorpion2782 The stable version yes.
The beta version is 28.0.0.105 and works like a charm in Chrome/Chromium in Windows and Linux platforms.
The great problem is that neither the exception list mechanism work on Opera. And Chrome/Chromium the exception list work.
Simply that! -

I conducted a test here and I think I have a clue as to what might be going on.
I made it with Opera Stable updated (49.0.2725.39) in Linux environment X86_64.
As I did the update now I made sure if the problem persisted, that is, of being ignored what was in the exception list of the flash and the answer was affirmative.
I quit the browser, renamed the folder where the original profile was, and started the browser that created a new profile.
I went straight to the adobe test page (https://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player.html) and it already appeared that it flash not enabled.
I went into the settings and placed the URL in the exception list and reloaded the page "THAT WAS PERFORMED PROPERLY".
I quit the browser and returned to the original profile and even removing and replacing this URL in the exception list does not work.
From the result of this test I believe that there must have been some change in the structure of some file that stores the profile settings from one version of Opera to another and there is a transposition of these values and functionalities leading to the non-functioning of the exception list of the flash plugin.
This occurs in all 3 versions, either Linux or Windows.
The most immediate workaround for those who do not save the settings in the cloud is to somehow even list them in a text file to list all open pages to manually re-type in the new profile.
I would not run the risk of exporting data because it may happen that this bug is related to the data that will be exported which means more tests but I think enough for the developers of Opera to check it out, if they give the work of read these topics and all posts (I doubt)
I did this manually (which gave me a hard time) and despite losing the history, bookmarks and addons installed the exception list NOW WORKS perfectly. -

Just navigate to Linux in the FTP site.

@zalex108 To solve this problem I simple delete the file "Preferences" that are located in different places depending if in Linux or Windows (I don't have a Mac).
The issue is that for me I need to reinstall the addons, but the bookmark and history are preserved.
So in my GNU/Linux installed system the file preferences stay in a path like:
/home/username/.config/opera
In Windows installed system the path is:
C:/Users/username/AppData/Roaming/Opera Software/Opera Stable -

Well, some side effects, in addition to having the installed add-ins removed, may occur.
In my Opera Stable installation on Linux, I can not access the internal extensions page.
This does not occur with Opera Beta and Developer on the same system and in none of the three versions installed in the Windows environment.
If the problem occurs in a Windows environment if you have access to the / windows / Users / username / AppData / Roaming / Opera Software folder you will probably have at least one folder named Opera Stable or Beta or Developer depending on the version you installed.
Without running Opera rename this folder to any other name and then start Opera.
It will create a new session and from what I tested here the exception list should be working. Simply type (or paste) the desired URL by remembering to put it in the Flash exception list and it should work.
If it works, there is probably more of a problem in the session you use (and it happens to me too) than deleting the Preferences file to force the creation of a new one, so there is some problem in the saved session and not in the program installation.
I'm going to try some things around with this Opera Stable session with problems and if it succeeds I'll let you know. -

@msxmaniac I ran
/usr/bin/google-chrome-unstable --disable-bundled-ppapi-flash --always-authorize-plugins --allow-outdated-plugins --ppapi-in-process --enable-nacl --ppapi-flash-path=/usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin/libpepflashplayer.so --ppapi-flash-version=28.0.0.105viaTerminal. This is the output I receive:bash: /usr/bin/google-chrome-unstable: No such file or directoryAny ideas...?
Did I do something wrong, perhaps...? -

Up to my count, this is now the nineteenth case report concerning the compatibility issues with Flash and Opera. There has been introduced a late resolution attempt by @natasha-from-dnepropetrovsk at the aforementioned link. I hope that works out for you folks.
Cheers!
