      Yes! It really works. Thanks avl.
      mrmatteastwood, find the package you can find using the search line on launchpad.
      Like this

      and this page

      Then you select the appropriate version for your system, download and install package.

      Bookmark this page https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/xenial/+package/chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra
      and check the version of the engines chrome and opera.
      Sort of like working 😉

        @avl Thank You!
        Removing chromium 64 and force installing 62 done the job! 🥂

            @scottalan I am running Linux Mint 18.3 with Flash package adobe-flashplugin.
            This is the latest package file in /var/cache/apt/archives : adobe-flashplugin_1%3a20171212.1-0ubuntu0.16.04.1_amd64.deb
            Opera version 50.0.2762.67.

              @avl said in Problem with flash player:

              @mrmatteastwood Install http://launchpadlibrarian.net/345863538/chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra_62.0.3202.94-0ubuntu0.16.04.1317_amd64.deb (you can upgrade it again to the most recent version once Opera 51 stable has been released).

              The problem is that Chromium was updated to 64, and the chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra package that comes with Chromium 64 only works with Opera >=51.

              The other way around as well: Opera 51 will only work with chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra >=64, so once Opera 51 has been released and you've updated, you'll have to upgrade this package again.

              Would this mean that Chromium 64 won't work if you use that older package?

                Yes.

                  @jimunderscorep Okay, so I am not sure that is really a solution then because I have Chromium installed also, so that I can have a choice of browser to use - but use Opera or Firefox mainly.

                    My suggestion is to install opera-beta, because it is based on chromium 64, so chromium 64 codecs will definitely work with it.

                      @jimunderscorep Opera 51 has now been installed, so a choice is no longer needed 🙂

                      Everyone: update to Opera 51 and you can now use Chromium 64-based ffmpeg codecs.

                        I just made the upgrade here and I was about to post it for everyone to know, but you were 3 hours faster than me :p
                        Let's hope to they keep the relases closes to the ones of chromium.
