I have uninstalled and re-installed a few times and I get flash working as a 32bit plugin using nspulginwrapper in a 64 bit SeaMonkey browser with flashblock installed. Then the next day it doesn't work. All the files and links appear to be there, the pluginreg.dat is rebuilt, there are no error messages loading it in the console when I try about:plugins. It also no longer shows up in the about:plugins.

Any else run accross this one?

Well, this used to happen to me from time to time (on Firefox), but after recent updates the problem seems to have gone away. I'm really not sure, though. For start, make sure you don't have any "local" flash player in your ~/.mozilla/something directory. Since I used firfox-bin + flash player, this cause a bit of problem to me. After that one, well, I have no idea. Whenever the nspluginwrapper didn't work, I would simply reemerge it (although it probably would be possible just to run that command on the flash player plugin, but I was too lazy, and heck, I DO have dual core :D ). I've also talked with some people on IRC about this (#gentoo-amd64 channel), and some people said that it does happen nspluginwrapper gets just stupid from time to time.

P.S.
I'm currently using nspluginwrapper-0.9.91.4 + mozilla-firefox-2.0.0.4 (before yesterday's update, it was 2.0.0.3, but it worked correctly as well).

P.S.S.
I guess until gnash gets a bit better, we'll have to stick with these annoyances ;)
