Opera is not detecting the PPAPI Flash Plugin.

It's the same for me.

I'm on Windows 8.1 32 bit and I have Opera stable 24.0.1558.61

I downloaded and installed the latest PPAPI Flash Player: it is installed in
C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash\pepflashplayer32_15_0_0_170.dll

but Opera doesn't find it. I tried to uninstall and reinstall the plugin but nothing: Opera sees only the NPAPI version.

I see that I'm not the only one with this problem. Stable 24.0.1558.61, Win 7 32bit... I even wrote the comment about this: http://blogs.opera.com/desktop/2014/09/opera-stable-24-0-1558-61-update/#comment-1598704615

Is Opera installed for all users? It runs with admin rights?

Opera is installed for all users. I tried with and without admin rights, but it doesn't detect at all the pepper flash plugin

And what happens if you try with a new clean profile? You can rename your current one or you can make a standalone install.

It seems to be a problem with 32-bit versions of Windows... Just saying.

Maybe. Because on my win 7 64 bit it works flawlessly

I tried with a new profile: nothing.

Then I edited the Preferences file to add the lines

`
   "plugins": {
      "plugins_list": [ {
         "enabled": true,
         "name": "Shockwave Flash",
         "path": "C:\\Windows\\System32\\Macromed\\Flash\\pepflashplayer32_15_0_0_170.dll",
         "version": "15.0.0.170"
      },
`

but nothing.

Is there another place where Opera stores its plugin list?

Hi @plovec, please follow the below steps:

1. Download the latest (15.0.0.183) FP for Opera/Chromium based apps - PPAPI for Windows, and install it,

2. Add two command line switches at the end of the shortcut to the "launcher.exe", as follows:

launcher.exe --ppapi-flash-path="C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash\pepflashplayer32_15_0_0_183.dll" --ppapi-flash-version="15.0.0.183"

(adjust the path, accordingly to your Flash plugin installation directory),

3. Launch the Opera, go to "opera:plugins", click on "Show details" button, disable the Flash plugin with "Type: NPAPI", and enable the Flash plugin with "Type: PPAPI" \m/

It works! Thank's a lot.

The only problem is that I must keep the switches in the shortcut, otherwise Opera loses again the pepper flash player...

@l33t4opera, How do I exactly add those command lines, to which file? I'm quite newbie... XD

I have that problem since Opera devs implemented support to ppapi. I use what l33t4opera said.

@christoph142, Thanks a lot, it worked. Opera is now detecting the PPAPI Flash.

I think the issue is with the 32-bit versions of Windows, it should be (at least) a known issue, if so.

Even with the latest stable version (25) Opera doesn't find automatically the PPAPI flash player in Windows 8.1 32 bit.

I must use the workaround indicated by l33t4opera

Is the path to the pepper flash dll in "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Macromedia\FlashPlayerPepper" in the registry correct?

Is there anyway to make Opera find the Pepper Flash besides the workaround?

I reinstalled Pepper Flash and did not change anything Opera does not detect Pepper.

Opera is now detecting the Pepper Flash without the command lines (Opera Stable 26.0.1656.24).
