It's not working in 12.17 today, either. It's probably a coincidence. dragonfly.opera.com is down.

Have you tried to uncheck this option

opera:config#DeveloperTools|ProxyAutoConnect

it should avoid the autoupdate of opera dragonfly

If you don't have dragonfly offline maybe this could help:

My dear old real Opera (Opera 12.17) asked me to update to version 12.18: usually it asks me to update to the chromium version.

Going to ftp://ftp.opera.com/pub/opera/win/1218/ there is a new Opera 12 version, but I can't find a changelog.

Do someone knows what are the differences? Did they disable Opera Link or something like that?

Thanks in advance

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

Yes

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

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...

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?

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

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'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 think that before going to stable you should warn the users of the missing Stash or provide a way to migrate the links in Stash to the new bookmark system.
