Flash player

[cohenming]

i installed raspbian on pi 3 model B
i want to play flash game
i downloaded flash_player_ppapi_linux.x86_64.tar.gz from adobe official website
i extracted it, and i got four things: LGPL file, libpepflashplayer.so, manifest.json, readme.
The readme contain nothing for installation.
i wonder how to run the .so and .json to install flash on my pi 3, can anyone help?

The ".x86_64" indicates it was built for 64-bit x86 processors as used in a PC, and is not suitable for running on the Arm based Pi.

Try this (how I did it. See 'Source' link if you need to install Chromium Browser) Source

click 'select all', and paste into terminal. Then save file.

Code: Select all

wget https://www.dropbox.com/s/br48bxfknrtyx0t/flash23.tar.xz?dl=0
tar -xJf flash23.tar.xz?dl=0
cd pepper
sudo cp *.so /usr/lib/chromium-browser/plugins
sudo cp *.so /usr/lib/chromium-browser/
sudo cp *.json /usr/lib/chromium-browser/plugins
sudo cp *.json /usr/lib/chromium-browser
cd
sudo rm /etc/chromium-browser/customizations/01-pepper
sudo nano /etc/chromium-browser/customizations/01-pepper
CHROMIUM_FLAGS="${CHROMIUM_FLAGS} --ppapi-flash-path=/usr/lib/chromium-browser/plugins/libpepflashplayer.so --ppapi-flash-version=23.0.0.185-r1 -password-store=detect -user-data-dir"

Then save file with:
"ctrl+o", then 'enter', then "ctrl+x"

This is obsolete. You now get the flash player from the RPF. On a new Pixel release it is already installed. To get it on older systems just run
sudo apt-get install rpi-chromium-mods
