Flash plugin not working in Chromium

Hello:

Has anyone gotten Flash player working in Chromium? I have the latest version installed when checking with:

~$ sudo update-bunsen-pepperflash --status
[sudo] password for user: 
Checking Flash version available from Adobe...
Upstream version: 30.0.0.113
Installed version: 30.0.0.113
You already have the newest version.

Location of plugin is at:

~$ locate libpepflashplayer.so
/usr/lib/bunsen-pepperflash/libpepflashplayer.so

Going to Adobe's test page at

http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/about/

just shows the puzzle piece and not the version number of Flash installed. Has something changed? Currently running the Version 66.0.3359.181 build of Chromium.

Re: Flash plugin not working in Chromium

I have the same version installed and it seems to be OK in Chromium. Try clicking the puzzle piece on that page, allow the page to run flash if asked. Does a little "version information" box pop up?

right clicking I can select Run this plugin but it does not show the version, and I've checked that page can ask for Flash in settings and Javascript is also enabled.

I have tried this on another machine that also has Bunsen and it works there in Chromium, so something is not right on this machine.

Re: Flash plugin not working in Chromium

Try a normal left-click on the puzzle? Does nothing happen? It should run a little Flash app that pops up the version info. Have you got Flash disabled in Chromium settings perhaps?
