      I've just tested here on Win7 with Opera Stable 24.0.1558.61 and everything worked fine, ppapi flash is listed under opera:plugins.

      I downloaded and installed Flash Player for Opera and Chromium based applications – PPAPI just in case.

        That's the one I installed...

        @leocg, on which directory Flash Player is installed? Maybe my installation was not successful... Although my Opera has been malfunctioning. I mean: WebGL support is gone, and now this. I don't know if it has something to do, but I use Windows 7 32-bit.

          opera:plugins lists this:

          X:\WINDOWS\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash\pepflashplayer32_15_0_0_170.dll

              It's the same for me.

              I'm on Windows 8.1 32 bit and I have Opera stable 24.0.1558.61

              I downloaded and installed the latest PPAPI Flash Player: it is installed in
              C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash\pepflashplayer32_15_0_0_170.dll

              but Opera doesn't find it. I tried to uninstall and reinstall the plugin but nothing: Opera sees only the NPAPI version.

                I see that I'm not the only one with this problem. Stable 24.0.1558.61, Win 7 32bit... I even wrote the comment about this: http://blogs.opera.com/desktop/2014/09/opera-stable-24-0-1558-61-update/#comment-1598704615

                  Is Opera installed for all users? It runs with admin rights?

                    Opera is installed for all users. I tried with and without admin rights, but it doesn't detect at all the pepper flash plugin

                      And what happens if you try with a new clean profile? You can rename your current one or you can make a standalone install.

                        It seems to be a problem with 32-bit versions of Windows... Just saying.

                          Maybe. Because on my win 7 64 bit it works flawlessly

                            I tried with a new profile: nothing.

                            Then I edited the Preferences file to add the lines

                            `
                               "plugins": {
                                  "plugins_list": [ {
                                     "enabled": true,
                                     "name": "Shockwave Flash",
                                     "path": "C:\\Windows\\System32\\Macromed\\Flash\\pepflashplayer32_15_0_0_170.dll",
                                     "version": "15.0.0.170"
                                  },
                            `
                            

                            but nothing.

                            Is there another place where Opera stores its plugin list?

                              Hi @plovec, please follow the below steps:

                              1. Download the latest (15.0.0.183) FP for Opera/Chromium based apps - PPAPI for Windows, and install it,

                              2. Add two command line switches at the end of the shortcut to the "launcher.exe", as follows:

                              
                              launcher.exe --ppapi-flash-path="C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash\pepflashplayer32_15_0_0_183.dll" --ppapi-flash-version="15.0.0.183"
                              
                              

                              (adjust the path, accordingly to your Flash plugin installation directory),

                              1. Launch the Opera, go to "opera:plugins", click on "Show details" button, disable the Flash plugin with "Type: NPAPI", and enable the Flash plugin with "Type: PPAPI" \m/ 🍺

                                It works! Thank's a lot. 🙂

                                The only problem is that I must keep the switches in the shortcut, otherwise Opera loses again the pepper flash player...

                                    I have that problem since Opera devs implemented support to ppapi. I use what l33t4opera said.

                                        @christoph142, Thanks a lot, it worked. Opera is now detecting the PPAPI Flash.

                                        I think the issue is with the 32-bit versions of Windows, it should be (at least) a known issue, if so.

                                          Even with the latest stable version (25) Opera doesn't find automatically the PPAPI flash player in Windows 8.1 32 bit.

                                          I must use the workaround indicated by l33t4opera

                                            Is the path to the pepper flash dll in "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Macromedia\FlashPlayerPepper" in the registry correct?
