older versions of flash no longer supported on Opera 26?

Many webbrowsers use(d) NPAPI for plugins.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NPAPI

Google invented a new way to handle plugins (Pepper/PPAPI) with some advantages:

Google_Native_Client#Pepper

They are actually planning to remove NPAPI and only use PPAPI.

Pepper is a plugin API for Chromium; since Opera is Chromium-based it has been able to use pepper Flash for some time though did not automatically detect it. With Opera 25 they fixed the detection issue but also dropped support for the old Netscape plugin architecture.

Strange, I'm still using the NP Flash plugin on Opera developer 27.
I don't have Pepper flash installed, or at least the Flash Player applet in the Windows Control Panel is telling me that I haven't!
YouTube certainly appears to be using the normal Flash Player plugin so the browser must still support it.

So was @sgunhouse incorrect, or did he mean something else?

Maybe they changed it ... I remember when it was a Developer version it only supported pepper Flash. Sometimes it's hard to keep up ...

sgunhouse was incorrect (a very rare thing) we currently still support both on Windows and Mac.

P.S. sgunhouse runs Linux, where Opera only supports PPAPI (which probably explains how he got this wrong).

У меня в этой версии Оперы не работает на компьютере Flash Player. У меня он обновлён, стоит последняя версия. И например Google Chrome или Firefox, так там работает Flash Player. А если зайти в OPERA то ничего не работает.

[Mod edit]: Added a Google translate

I have in this version of Opera does not work on your computer Flash Player. I have it updated, it is worth the latest version. And like Google Chrome or Firefox, so there running Flash Player. And if you go to the OPERA then nothing works.

Ah, that would explain it!

ahh I hate derailing actual topics - so please tell me if I should rather open an extra topic about that.

So, I am running a standalone version of Opera26 here, and is the a way to test out this pepper flash thingy without it interfering something else on my computer?

I got very reluctant about updates and new software this year as I mainly had bad experience.
