Opera and Flash9

Arthur Engh · External Since: Apr 03, 2005 Posts: 10

I'm using Puppy Linux 2.12. I have installed Flash 9 and it works
flawlessly in SeaMonkey but not in Opera 9.10. For instance if I go to
http://www.cnettv.com/ the complete browserwindow goes grey. Can someone
confirm this and give me a hint on what to do with plug-ins and stuff to
make it work? Thanks!

Hello,
yes, it a known issue, flash 9 plugin doesn't support Opera, so that's why
it doesn't work too well. Usually reloading the page helps.

Thanks but I've tried everything and can't make it work. If someday it
works I'll post the solution here though... Smile

Hmm, but I have installed Flashplugin-9.0.31.0 and it works fine for me.

So, I have installed the ASPLinux-11.2 which is based on Fedora 4. By
other words, I have Fedora Core 4 Wink

Opera-9.20 build 557, opera-9.20-20070202.6 RPM-package dynamically linked
with Qt libraries

flash-plugin-9.0.31.0-release RPM-package from Adobe

When I had installation of flash-plugin, it replaced all old files from
old flash-plugin. And now I watch the YouTube movies without problems.

I'll jump in here. I'm running Opera 9.02 on Slackware 10.0 (on one
machine) and 10.2 (on the other machines).

On both machines, I ran into Adobe's obnoxious "opera is not supported"
message. I completed the install for Firefox and Mozilla, then copied the
libflashplayer.so file into /usr/lib/opera/plugins directory.

Everything works fine.

I just tried this on Gentoo. Using the appropriate ebuilds and a
custom install of build 577. Youtube movies continue to stall at
"Loading" (while Internet Exploder starts the movie nearly
immediately).

Checking the plugins, I see flash 9.0.31, but I see it listed twice.
There are lots of complaints in the invoking xterm.

I have Ubuntu 5.10, Opera 9.10 build 521, and
install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz from Adobe. Flash wasn't
working at all for my Opera, but is now. Here is what I did,
don't ask me to explain why it worked, maybe the default
libflash-mozplugin.so that my Ubuntu has was interfering with
the new libflashplayer.so .

First download Adobe's tarball, and unpack it. The script
(flashplayer-installer) in the tarball only tells you that
opera is unsupported when you give it the path to opera, so
just skip the script. The following commands beginning with #
must be executed as root. Exit opera.

cd install_flash_player_9_linux
# install -pm 644 libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/opera/plugins/
mv ~steve/.opera/opera6.ini ~steve/.opera/opera6.ini.orig
sed -e "s%Open Dir=/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/%Open
Dir=/usr/lib/opera/plugins%" ~/.opera/opera6.ini.orig > ~/.opera/opera6.ini
opera &

Adobe's test page should show a interactive flash (click it):

http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/welcome/

In the end Tools->Advanced->Plug-ins in Opera should say,
at least:

Shockwave Flash
application/futuresplash spl
application/x-shockwave-flash swf
/usr/lib/opera/plugins/libflashplayer.so

Shockwave Flash
application/x-shockwave-flash swf
application/x-futuresplash spl
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflash-mozplugin.so

Tools->Preferences->Advanced->Downloads should say, at least:

applications/x-futuresplash spl
application/xshockwave-flash swf

The plugin directory that Opera was looking had nothing useful
to me.

Here are Opera's instructions, but they don't say what I've
just said:

Hello all,

Found a solution to the stalled loading of youtube
movies!!!!

Its seems that for Gentoo installs, Opera
9.20 started up with a plugin search path that
included /opt/netscape/plugins. Until I found
this post:

Thank you very much for your comprehensive reply. I will try this out when
I play with Puppy again. At the moment I'm in PCLinuxOS and here Flash9
worked fine in Opera instantly.
