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

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

Hi. I have tried adding the line,(launcher.exe --ppapi-flash-path="C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash\pepflashplayer321500183.dll" --ppapi-flash-version="15.0.0.183") to the target, but I get 'Invalid'. I have tried without the 'launcher.exe' and with and without the -- before ppapi. I have downloaded and installed the ppapi but it is not showing up in 'Developer Tools. plugins, only npapi shows. Where have I gone wrong??

Did you update to the latest version? Opera stable, beta and developer are detecting it. Don't forget to put the correct version in command line.

The versions I have, which have been downloaded over the past couple of days (many times) are NPAPI 15.0.0.223 and PPAPI 15.0.0.215. So obviously the command line I had copied from this topic was out of date. My question is then, which part of the command line do I copy to the 'target'? Which part of the link do I ignore, when I replace the version quoted in the link I tried, with 15.0.0.215?
Thanks
