The flag to enable the ppapi flashe is/was enabled? Other plugins work?

As I said, "Flash player plugin was missing from opera"! No flash plugin was there to enable/ disable! when I downloaded the NPAPI, the plugin appeared! Other plugins were in place and enabled.

Btw, this is valid for any user.

I was on topic, my post was complete and your reply was not justified or helpful at all. I was perfectly compliant with the rules, your response seemed like trolling. Think about it next time.

Which was your old flash? The ppapi one?

It was the ppapi. The ppapi one is what adobe is proposing for opera when you go to their website. If you download the npapi one (on top of the ppapi), it works fine again.

Are you a bot or something?? What did you not understand from the above posts???

ANYWAY! I think I got the solution. I downloaded the "NPAPI" flavor of the flash player, meaning the "Flash Player for Firefox and Netscape Plug-In compatible applications – NPAPI", and voila, the plugin re-appeared in the opera:plugins page and the videos are playing.

Why did I need to go through this workaround? Adobe might have a say here. It seems that it gives the "wrong" flavor for opera browsers.. Check it out!

I got the same issue today. Flash player plugin missing from opera, it works fine in all other browsers. Tried uninstalling both opera and flash player, re instaled them but still doesnt work!!! Whats wrong?

windows 8.1 32bit
opera 25.0.1614.68
latest flash player
