On Adobe site via opera 22:-
"You have version 14,0,0,125 installed"

On Youtube :-
The Adobe Flash Player or an HTML5 supported browser is required for video playback.
Get the latest Flash Player

But some youtube video can play via Facebook....

Youtube.com videos play fine with 14,0,0,125 on my Windows 7 x64.

if some video play via Facebook, flash player works.

Do you have any Extensions installed in Opera?

Opera 12.16 & Flash player on Ubuntu 14.04
flash player is not recognized as being installed on my Ubuntu 14.04 installation. I have done everything I can find on the internet to do to fix this but nothing works. Chrome works fine and says it's plugin is the most current Flash version. Opera says no plugin, even though I have copied the flashplayer.so file into the plugin folder for Opera. I could switch to Chrome in Ubuntu as I like the new Opera browser in Windows. It would be nice if Opera would develop a Linux version of the new Opera. I did read an article where the new Opera was installed under Wine and run from a USB. Is it possible to use Wine to run the new Opera installed in windows of my dual boot computer (Win 8.1 & Ubuntu 14.04). That would be great as all my passwords and bookmarks would work on both OS's.

You need to copy the 'libflashplayer.so' to '/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins' as administrator or superuser. Restart Opera and flash should start working.

@mmcl26554 check the search path in Opera 12!

As i wrote:

Call Opera Settings
Go to Tabs Advanced -> Content
Plug-in Options...
Find new...
Search path for plugins should be:
/usr/lib/opera/plugins:/usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree:/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins:/usr/lib/xulrunner-addons/plugins

test@debian:~$ cat .opera/pluginpath.ini 
Opera Preferences version 2.1
; Do not edit this file while Opera is running

[Paths]
/usr/lib/opera/plugins=1
/usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree=1
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins=1
/usr/lib/xulrunner-addons/plugins=1

i installed tme package flashplugin-nonfree which works fine.

On Mandriva or Mageia, they use /use/lib/browser plugins or something similar - just a little different, but makes sense when you don't have Firefox or SeaMonkey as default browser. Just check to see where the Flash plug-in really is, and make sure that is in your plugin path.

I got Flash to work by cp'ing the libpepflashplayer.so from /usr/lib/pepperflashplugin-nonfree into /opt/google/chrome/PepperFlash. It's puzzling that the original flashplayer in Chrome's directory didn't work, though.

Sorry, but the problem of flashplayer is not with Opera 24 Developer but Opera 12. Opera 12 does not use pepperflashplugin!
This is not a Chromium related problem.

For god's sake why don't engineers in opera fix the problem?

They can're fix it because there isn't npapi flash player anymore for Linux.

Opera 26 Linux 64 bit. Why does opera SUCK so much when it comes to flash? The new config menu thing also sucks.
So many things right but the things that are wrong ruin the whole experience.
Been using Opera for YEARS btw, but this may be the end.

@southoz Use Opera 12.16. And all is fine for you.

I use Opera 30.0.1835.59 and Linux Mint 17.1. Adobe flash plugin is not recognised and does not work in Opera! Very bad! I am thinking to switch to another browser!

So how come the "Help" pages haven't been updated?
I've been going round and round in circles trying to implement the procedure I found here http://www.opera.com/docs/linux/plugins/install/#flash as of course, none of the directories mentioned exist!

This document was last updated for Opera 11.00.

I dont know why help pages havent been updated.

I agree, I think they should update it, and everything that is here: http://www.opera.com/docs/. It's especially confusing when some pages are updated, like "history of Opera versions".

I've spoken to the documentation team, and they're working on updates for these pages. Sorry for the confusion in the mean time!
