Good evening. I've ran into a trouble with opera "plug-in blocked" kind of messages.
I run Opera Beta 52.0.2871.9 on Windows,
have none extentions active as of now, and website settings for Flash set:
Ask first before allowing sites to run Flash (recommended).Whenever i enter any website using flash (some video-hostings mostly), i have to manually allow flash as i should do, but after that opera gives me "plug-in blocked" message in the adress bar and flash application, should it be a videoplayer or whatnot does not start. Repeatedly clicking "run plug-in this time" does not seem to show any effect. Please help?

@vzdornoff Do you have the correct Flash player - PPAPI Flash - installed?

@vzdornoff Does it help if you add the site as an exception?

@leocg Test run: allow all sites to use flash. Exception: allow.
Plug-in blocked / run plug-in this time dialogue option appears, yet has no effect.allow all sites to use flash. Exception: block.
dialogue option is gone, yet i can not use flash player-based video player with "Flash player blocked" message in it. -

@vzdornoff even websites like http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager.html
get same plug-in blocked treatement.Yet somehow Global Privacy Settings panel there works just fine and with no error messages of sort.

@vzdornoff On that Macromedia page I get a 'click here to enable Flash' box where Flash should be running and clicking on it shows a dialog asking me to allow Flash for that page.
Allowing it makes Flash work for the page. -

@leocg and that's where the strange stuff kicks in. screen of the link with error
yet somehow - screen of the global privacy settings without any errors.
as a bonus - rightclicking videoplayer i can't load due to "plug-in disabled" gives the "movie not loaded" message in the menu.

@vzdornoff said in Flash Player (?) issues.:
Plug-in blocked / run plug-in this time dialogue
FYI: Some pages have tiny Flash objects that are hidden or smaller than 6 x 6px. When Chrome or Opera encounters one of these, you get that dialog to allow you to run it. But, you have to choose to run it each time. However, those tiny Flash objects might not be the main one that needs to run, so that dialog won't do anything for bigger Flash objects that aren't loading.
I just tested Opera Beta 52.0.2871.9 (x64, Windows 10) and the macromedia pages work as expected for me. Download the Opera Beta installer, launch it, click "options", set "install path" to a folder on your desktop, set "install for" to "standalone installation" and installer. Try in that one to see if things work better. If they do, something is probably messed up with your original Opera Beta profile. It might be the "Preferences" file in the profile folder (location in
opera://about). -

@burnout426 thank you very much for clearing this out, one problem less it is. somehow problem with videoplayer not working is solved by activating vpn. Might you have an answer for that one too?

@vzdornoff VPN disables plug-ins when enabled, so probably the site is serving the video in html5. What is something the site should be doing since the beginning.

I got it to work by adding url to exception. Remember the url must be full like "https://www.example.com" and not just "example.com". otherwise it won't work

Thanks for all the answers, guess there is nothing more to be helped with. Good luck.
