Flash player does not work; can not be able.

Another update today and still no flash without playing with the workaround. I'm beginning to think that the devs don't give a darn about user complaints like so many other developers these days.

Automatic update number 49 has caused a flash issue. I did not find a solution, so I uninstalled version 49 and installed 48 (48.0.2685.52). Everything went back to normal, I did not even have to reinstall Flash. I only disabled the automatic update of Opera: I deleted the opera_autoupdate.exe file from the Opera main directory and added the "OPERA_AUTOUPDATE_DISABLED" system variable, with a value of "1".
I'm waiting for the correct patch of Opera.

@leocg said in Flash player does not work; can not be able.:

if the banner asking to allow Flash doesn't show then you need to add the site as an exception in Settings > Sites > Flash.

One reason the allow banner/toolbar won't show is if a site tries to use Javascript's navigator.plugins to detect flash where it doesn't try to actually embed anything if flash isn't present in there.

For example:

https://m.zigiz.com/card-games/play-free/pyramidsolitaire2
http://isflashinstalled.com

As in, the only time the allow banner will show up is if a page actually tries to embed a flash object in the page and you click on the plug-in placeholder. In all other cases, when the user notices that flash isn't working, they will just have to figure out that they have to manually add something to the flash exceptions list. (This is the same in Chrome btw.)

In Vivaldi (and Chrome), it has support for site-specific settings where you click the badge on the left side of the address field, goto "Flash" and choose "Always allow on this site".

Doing that just adds the site to the chrome://settings/content/flash exceptions. But, I took note of exactly how it does it.

The site setting feature doesn't use the [*.] regular expression for matching. It just does protocol_of_page://hostname:port_for_protocol.

Example:

http://example.com:80
http://test.example.com:80
https://example.com:443
https://test.example.com:443

I'm assuming if one doesn't specify the port, the exception applies to all/both ports. But, if you want to do it just like the site settings feature does it, you can specify the protocol and port expclitly just to see if it helps.

(As previously mentioned, for Opera, there's the Site-specific Preferences extension that you can use to make things easier to add exceptions. It doesn't use the port in the exception though.)

Due to these changes with Flash, Vivaldi now has a help page for this.

https://help.vivaldi.com/article/enabling-flash/

Of course, it's as you'd expect. You need to add to the exception list.

@pedrosantospaiva How old is that site? When selecting View Source (from the main menu, they block the context menu) they have Javascript that includes code for IE4 and Netscape 4!
Under the circumstances I tested the page in Opera 12.18 and in that case it sort-of works. But in a current version of Firefox it looks the same as in a current version of Opera - a background and a title.

For https://www.internetpolyglot.com/matching_game (clicking play button and then speaker button next to word), I got it to work. In addition to the https://* and http://* flash exceptions, I had to install the addCSS extension and enable this block for the site:

embed[width="1"][height="1"] {
    width: 6px;
    height: 6px;
}

There's an embed element on the page at the top left that's set to 1 x 1 pixels. I found that Chrome and Opera block Flash elements that are smaller than 6 x 6. So, using the CSS to make it bigger works around that. And, one can then easily click it to get the "allow" toolbar (if the site's not already covered by one of the Flash exceptions you have).

Similar CSS might help for other sites where the Flash exception list isn't enough. Would probably be better to also include a selector for a 1 x 1 object element. Of course, other sites might use different widths under 6 x 6 that you'd want to handle.

Something to investigate on a per-site basis at least.

The only way I could get Flash to work was to add the site to the exceptions

burnout426

I've been messing with the extension API to make an extension to do what adding https://*, http://* and file:///* does. It's just a simple background script of:

chrome.contentSettings.plugins.getResourceIdentifiers(function(list) {
    for (var i = 0; i < list.length; ++i) {
        if (list[i].id == "adobe-flash-player") {
                chrome.contentSettings.plugins.set({
                primaryPattern: "<all_urls>", 
                setting: "allow",
                resourceIdentifier: list[i]
            });    
        }
    }
});

This of course doesn't solve all the Flash problems, just like manually adding the protocol-based exceptions doesn't. But, an "Always Activate Flash" extension might be useful if it could also fix the remaining issues.

Opera might even be able to add an internal extension like this to add an "always activate flash" option back. But, that's a long shot.

Of interest is the fact that when you go to that page:
http://www.baronstrainers.com/cc/100001555295584_Giftsanddogs.html

not only does it not display correctly, it also does not display ANYTHING when you right click on that page, I realized that because I was going to try to use the "User-Agent Switcher" on that page, but alas, a right click does not pop-up ANYTHING. I think this is MORE than anything about Flash

If you don't know how to enable it, use Enable right click, from Chrome store.

Nothing happens on a right click in Firefox either!
What a very strange web page.
It produces nothing unless Flash is enabled, but even when I can see it I can't see exactly what it's supposed to do!
A couple of the entries at the bottom show what appears to be some sort of countdown.
Here is the source, if anyone can interpret it.

@burnout426 said in Flash player does not work; can not be able.:

I've been messing with the extension API to make an extension to do what adding https://, http:// and file:///* does.

Test version of an Always Activate Flash extension

Goto opera://settings/contentExceptions#plugins and clear the Flash exceptions list if you want since it shouldn't be needed.

Download "always activate flash.zip", extract it, goto opera://extensions, click "Developer Mode", choose "load unpacked extension", pick the "always activate flash" folder and try some pages.

You can view the main.js and main.css files to see what's in them. Tweak main.css if needed and choose "reload" on the extensions page to test your modifications.
