Now, as you know, my Chromium version is 50.0.2661.102-1.
I have gone through a tutorial and downloaded a folder to place into my
/ directory. The folder contains /usr/ and a collection of libraries like lib and share.
Inside Lib, we have PepperFlash, and all the correponding .so's for PPAPI.
Inside Share, we have license.txt, which I don't believe is absolutely neccesary.
file /usr/lib/PepperFlash/libpepflashplayer.so :
/usr/lib/PepperFlash/libpepflashplayer.so: ELF 32-bit LSB shared object, ARM, EABI5 version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib/ld-linux-armhf.so.3, BuildID[sha1]=fd521c1a02e7fc840e750490a53b4c236ac08c95, stripped
As you can see, the flash player is for ARM 32 bit, which is the Raspberry Pi 2.
Now the tricky part.
According to many tutorials I have come across, all you have to do is place the plugin in the /usr/lib/chromium-browser/plugins directory, and update /usr/lib/chromium-browser/default with a couple of lines of code to CHROMIUM_FLAGS to make it work.
However, this is not the case. The only folder(s) I have with chromium are /usr/lib/chromium and /usr/lib/chromium-launcher.
Chromium-Launcher only contains one file, so I will disregard it.
There is no "default" text file in /usr/lib/chromium, so I create one and filled it out with
flags pointing at /usr/lib/PepperFlash/libpepflashplayer.so
/usr/lib/chromium/default : CHROMIUM_FLAGS="--ppapi-flash-path=/usr/lib/PepperFlash/libpepflashplayer.so --ppapi-flash-version=21.0.0.000"
Which is copied off a website tutorial.
The only thing I edited was the flash version, as I have 21.0.0.000.
This did not work upon starting chromium, as the page "chome://plugins" did not show any Flash plugins.
I have tried to "export CHROMIUM_FLAGS = 'foo' " but to no avai.
I have also tried running chromium from terminal with the option --plugins-enabled and so forth, but no dice.
Any help would be appreciated!
