    Question Gnome 3 Bug - Flash not working in Epiphany Web Broswer

    Well, as the title says, I am trying to use Epiphany (http://projects.gnome.org/epiphany/) to surf the web. However whenever I go to sites that require flash, such as; Youtube, Vimeo, Metacafe, or just try to watch most videos in General, I can't. Example:


    However, I have flash installed:




    Any ideas you tech wizards out there?

    Flash player uses gtk2, epiphany 3 uses gtk3.. they're not compatible together. You have to use nspluginwrapper to see flash videos.

    I have installed nspluginwrapper and I still am not able to get flash working. Can you show me how you installed it? Do I still need gtk3 also?

    I have checked if the plugin is enabled in the browser and it does say that it is enabled.

    Thanks
    Andy

    I installed nspluginwrapper but there is no way to see any Flash content in epiphany.

    Is there an other way to make it work ?

    After you install nspluginwrapper, close all your browsers. Then do
    Code:
    sudo dpkg-reconfigure flashplugin-installer
    This got it working for me.

    I'm using Debian.
    All I can say is that downloading a 32bit version of Flash Player 10 (not 11) I made it work on Epiphany just running something like
    Code:
    nspluginwrapper -v -i /home/pol/Scaricati/libflashplayer.so
    Of course you have to change the path of the file.
