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

@shahramop Do you have PPAPI Flash installed, right? NPAPI one is not supported.

@shahramop

Good point,
Ie/Edge/FF has different Flash installer from Chromium based browsers.

@zalex108 Thanking you, but the website tells again"You need to install or allow Adobe flash to play the games.
Please click the "Get Adobe Flash Player" link below to install or allow Flash" meanwhile I have already either installed and enabled the flash player.

@shahramop Do you have other Flash installed? If so, can you un-install it and keep only the PPAPI to see if something changes?

The "first told steps" fixed (at least for that site) the FlashPlayer plugin for @Simonhawk in this post.

Flash settings has to be set for each site.

C'mon!
Give us an screenshot... xD

Go to your Windows Control Panel and double click the "Flash Player" option. When the applet opens, click the "Updates" tab.
Do you have a "PPAPI Plug-in Version" listed there at the bottom?
If not, there is no way Flash will work with Opera.

Well that looks fine, so it's a bit of a mystery why it's not working!
Does it work on the tests here -

@shahramop Even adding the site as an exception in Settings > Sites > Flash it doesn't work?

@leocg Yes, I did it using "allow" option, but the problem exists and the flash player does not work, its screenshot is as following.

@shahramop Did you try a full clean reinstall of Opera? Did you try un-installing and re-installing Flash?

sh-b @leocg last edited by

@leocg yes, on one of my PCs, both my PCs has the above problem, I fear that the problem refers to Opera itself.

@shahramop What is strange is that Flash works fine for many others.

@davehawley Thanking you, I have already carried out a "clean" uninstallation(including deleting it in registry) and re-installation, I do not how to make"new clean opera profile"but I fear to lose my bookmarks and account that are important for me, today there was a new opera version, I downloaded it but the above problem exists, before I did not have such problem; I have this problem in both of my PCs, only in Opera, in other browsers flash player works fine.

Doing that may not actually have deleted your old profile, and there could be something in there that is causing the Flash problem.
Go to "About Opera" and see there where your profile folder is.
Go to that folder in Windows Explorer and, with Opera closed, rename it adding .old to the end of the name.
Then restart Opera which should then create a new clean profile in the same place.
See if the Flash problem is still there on the sites it was failing on (you will not have your bookmarks so you will need to put the addresses in manually).
If it's now working, there is something in your old profile stopping it working, which obviously needs to be investigated.
If it still isn't working, close Opera and go to the profiles folders again, delete the new folder and rename your old one back again and everything should return to as it was before.

@davehawley Thanking you I did your instructions, but the problem exists, after changing the profile, adding the "old"to it (Opera Stable Old)there was a new opera without my old bookmarks, I tried flash player in different websites , but it did not work, and so I came back to my opera, deleting new folder (coming back to the same Opera Stable).
