<![CDATA[Adobe Flash Player not Installed??]]>Hello,

Hope everyone is doing well. Today i just discovered a weird issue that i've never encountered before. As i did in the past, i logged into my HBO GO account to watch a movie and all of a sudden I get a msg saying I dont have the latest version of Adobe Flash Player therefore the video cant play. As I mentioned, i've never had this issue before until today. Below is the version I have:

Version: 49.0.2725.39 (PGO) - Opera is up to date
Update stream: Stable
System: Windows 10 64-bit

In my settings I tried making a few changes under the "Flash" section yet theres only two options to pick from:

Ask first before allowing sites to run Flash (recommended)
Block sites from running Flash

Of course I have the recommended option selected and even went as fast as adding the HBO domain under the manage section but still no luck.

I tried downloading the Flash Player plug-in via opera.com/pcappshub/ but get directed to: adobe.com/products/flashplayer.html which doesnt give me anything to download.

Has anyone else faced an issue like this?

I had to add '' Melon '' (Korean Music/Video)... It really sux...

Go to Opera Menu/Settings:

'Flash exceptions'
file:///* Allow
http://* Allow
https://* Allow

Note this will enable Flash on all sites and files. If you want to be more selective you would only specify particular sites addresses in Flash exceptions.

Although I am not very 'tech' savvy, I tried everything I could think of to rectify the problem. I only have the problem with 1 of the games I play; but it is still aggravating. I tried 'updating' my flash player; went into control panel under the 'Flash' category, where it said it was my settings for Opera, and as you stated, I chose 1 of the 2 options, which was to 'notify me before allowing flash to play on other sites', restarted my browser, still didn't work, even restarted my computer. Then I deleted Flash Player completely from my computer & downloaded the latest version of Adobe Flash Player, checked my 'settings' again....still isn't working. Am ready to SCREAM!! (LOL) Just don't know what else to try.

If you have found a solution to this problem, I would appreciate a 'shout' and I'm even going to give you my email address; (trusting that you're not a hacker LOL ๐Ÿ™‚ Please let me know!!!??!!! Thank you so much!

Very rapid correction: Just found the 'Flash exceptions' trick IS working, at least on the Adobe site!

Now, all I need to find is how to use it on a File on my HD...

Got it!

'Flash exceptions'
file:///* Allow
http://* Allow
https://* Allow

The 'Flash exceptions' trick doesn't work for me either. So suppose I just have to wait for another update or revert to Opera v48.0.2685.52 (PGO)

If you need flash, downgrade to O48 it's probably the fastest way.

But, depending on your Flash needings you could try with another profile and or another Opera version, Beta/Dev.

It was working on previous v48.0.2685.52 (PGO) and new v49 seems to have more limited options for controlling flash:

"Flash

Ask first before allowing sites to run Flash (recommended)

Block sites from running Flash"

the two example sites which im having issues with are: https://play.hbogo.com & https://tv.xfinity.com

Hmm, can't test those to see if there's some way to work around the problem for those sites.

Download it, launch it, click "options", set "install path" to "C:\Users\your_username\My Program Files\Opera 48", set "install for" to standalone installation and install.

When Opera launches it, immediately close it, go into the Opera 48 folder and rename "opera_autoupdate.exe.". Then, launch launcher.exe in the Opera 48 folder and pin it to your taskbar. Then, just use that Opera when you need Flash. Just think of it as opening a separate Opera window for Flash stuff and try not to think of it as using a whole different Opera.

I sorted mine by installing an older version of opera (48.0.2685.52 (PGO)) and the problems vanished. You need to delete operaupdate.exe in the main dir otherwise it will put you back on the broken one. This problem isn't new I was battling it 3 weeks ago.
