Flash 11.3 and Chromium

Hi all,
I have just read the possibility to have flash 11.3 for those who use chromium (in my case 21.0.1180.11) typing this command:

Copy libpepflashplayer.so and manifest.json somewhere.

Edit /etc/chromium/default with your pepperflash path:
CHROMIUM_FLAGS="--ignore-gpu-blacklist --ppapi-flash-path=/put_your_pepper_flash_path_here".

Disable npapi flash in chrome://plugins/.

YT says that i have accelerated video rendering. This is on gma950 with gallium3d. I think that opengl 2.0 is minimum for acceleration, which i915g supports.

Flash has never been so smooth on linux like with pepper flash.

You could also copy libpdf.so to /usr/lib/chromium-browser/ for pdf support.

This is tested on chromium x86 20.0.1132.43. It reports that i hava flash 11.3*.

It would be nice if gentoo had ebuild for this or use flags.

Interesting... I did not know about that --ppapi-flash-path parameter. I'll have to try that out.

Thanks for reply, for me worked adding "--ppapi-flash-path=/home/vasco/Images/libpepflashplayer.so" to chromium flags

It would be great to have an ebuild for pepper flash instead of adobe flash

How is performance? Do you get accelerated video?

In my opinion pepperflash is a way better, I don't have any more the blue-red problem, and all the browser seems better (can be a mine impression).

Does it work properly for anyone with nvidia twinview setup? I tested it like 3 days ago with both latest and 295* drivers, and in full screen I got something looking like a left-half of the video in the right half of the screen. And no accelerated video decoding too. But aside from that - quite smoth. And you can have full screen video on one screen and do something on the other, to bad that is only a half of the video for me :wink:

Hmmm... l when I install both google-chrome and chromium, and then configure chromium to use the libpepflashplayer.so installed by google-chrome I see different flash versions reported in chrome://plugins

google-chrome-21.0.1180.57_p148591

So what's the deal then? the bundled with chrome version is preferred over the adobe one still?
Sorry to bump on an old thread.
