Trouble installing pepper flash plugin for Chromium

Hello. I've been trying to install the pepper flash plugin for Chromium via the Chromium Plugins package in the AUR here: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/chro … per-flash/ . I successfully extracted the tarball, built the package and installed it using pacman. After restarting Chromium, however, the only new plugin I see is the Chrome PDF viewer; no pepper-flash plugin is visable. I thought about maybe installing the flash player that you can download from Adobe's website but I don't know if that would interfere with the plugin I should have already installed. Any advice on how to get this plugin to work in Chromium would be great. Thanks.

Re: Trouble installing pepper flash plugin for Chromium

I have pepperflash installed on my chromium and it identifies itself as

Adobe Flash Player - Version: 13.0.0.214
Shockwave Flash 13.0 r0
Name:	Shockwave Flash
Description:	Shockwave Flash 13.0 r0
Version:	13.0.0.214
Location:	/usr/lib/PepperFlash/libpepflashplayer.so
Type:	PPAPI (out-of-process)

This is in about:plugins url and is not an up-to-date version, but it works. I'll try updating to the newest version and see if it breaks things

Re: Trouble installing pepper flash plugin for Chromium

The package now builds both the pdf-plugin and the pepperflash-plugin. Make sure you install them both, judging from your post you probably only installed the libpdf one. I updated my plugins without issues.
