chromium-pepper-flash installed but not enabled

Since the last two or three updates of the chromium browser, I'm getting a weird problem with flash videos. A few weeks ago, everything was ok. I've installed chromium-pepper-flash but apparently it's not enabled in the browser.

pacman -Q chromium-pepper-flash chromium
chromium-pepper-flash 1:17.0.0.134-1
chromium 41.0.2272.89-1

How can I enable flash?

But it's installed! I followed the wiki to do it.

Yes, you installed it. Did you follow the link supplied and read the instructions?

Re: chromium-pepper-flash installed but not enabled

I read it, but the point is that I don't have such option to enable it.

This is the content of /etc/chromium/default:

# Default settings for chromium. This file is sourced by /usr/bin/chromium

# Options to pass to chromium
CHROMIUM_FLAGS=" --ppapi-flash-path=/usr/lib/PepperFlash/libpepflashplayer.so --ppapi-flash-version=17.0.0.134"

Re: chromium-pepper-flash installed but not enabled

Please use thumbnails! And explain more clearly what the problem is in the first post. All you said was that it's not enabled. As a sanity check, you've restarted the browser, right?

Re: chromium-pepper-flash installed but not enabled

This all looks okay. I don't see anybody with problems on in the AUR comments either. Do you get any error messages or anything? Try running it from the command line.

These are the errors I get from command line:

Re: chromium-pepper-flash installed but not enabled

For me the problem turned out to be that I hadn't restarted the browser. Just for a moment I forgot chromium doesn't actually shut down upon being exited the normal way (clicking 'X' or pressing Ctrl + q). Chromium needs you to press exit from the menu or use Ctrl + Shift + q / Ctrl + Q.
