If you use sites with Flash content, then Chrome's innovation is unlikely to appeal to you. Let's figure out how to customize the display of Flash content.
Why Flash video is not displayed
Early 2017 popular browser Google Chrome started block Flash content on web pages. This measure was known in advance. Thus, the software giant was forcing site creators to abandon outdated insecure technology in favor of more modern HTML5 markup, which provides more opportunities. However, many large portals are in no hurry to abandon their use. Flash Player, therefore, for ordinary users, the question often arises of how to enable content that is blocked by the browser by default.

In some cases, it is possible to click on blocked content right key mouse in and out context menu select the option to enable Flash content. However, this is not always the case. Some sites in a window with blocked content prompt users to install the latest Flash version Player, even if one is already installed on the device (accordingly, after the next installation, the situation does not change in any way). Therefore, there is a choice - either enable Flash content in Google chrome by default, or think about switching to another browser. The second option is not too far-sighted, if only because leading browsers like Mozilla Firefox and Microsoft Edge also announced that they would soon start blocking outdated technology.
How to enable Flash
For Flash enable the default content needs to go to the browser settings. In Google Chrome, they open by clicking the icon with three dots in the right upper corner windows, followed by selection from the context menu of the "Settings" item.
Next, on the page that opens with the settings at the very bottom, you need to click on the “Additional” link (previously “Show additional settings"). We find an item called "Content Settings". Click and on next page choose Flash.
Or in the old interface.
Three options are available for customization. The first one sounds like “Block Flash on sites” and blocks the content by default. If the slider on the right is moved to the side, the value will change to “Always ask”, which will allow you to enable Flash content via the context menu if necessary.
The “Block” and “Allow” items allow you to add a list of sites where Flash content will be blocked by default or, on the contrary, enabled, respectively. Just use the “Add” button in the “Allow” block and enter the addresses of sites that you trust.
Or in the old interface.
The window for adding exclusions by blocking Flash animation.
When adding exclusions, Chrome suggests additionally using the [*.] Prefix, which will additionally enable Flash content to be enabled on all nested third-level domains. For example, [*.] Ntvplus.ru will allow animation on the main domain, as well as on subdomains like sport.ntvplus.ru.
After adding exceptions on the desired sites, Flash should work. Refresh the page to clear the cache content if necessary by pressing the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + F5.
One fine day, turning on your computer and opening your favorite TV series site or browser game in Google Chrome, you find that the video does not load, and the game does not start. You are most likely having problems with Flash plugin Player, which is third-party from Adobe. It just so happened that almost all sites on the Internet require it for correct work and information display. Although Google has an active policy of ousting the unsafe and resource-intensive "flash player", and replacing its functions with using HTML 5. It is interesting to note that despite Google's dislike for Adobe flash Player, in the browser Chrome problems with him occur quite rarely. We will consider the case when such a necessary component is still “covered with a copper basin”.
It looks like this:
The browser informs you that it was unable to load the plugin
The first step is to check the version of Chrome, because Adobe Flash Player updates with it. And if your browser is updated to the latest version, then, most often, there should be no problems with the plugin. To do this, open "Configuring and managing Google Chrome", then "Help" and "About Google browser Chrome ".
It is necessary to pay attention to the line "Version". If the download indicator rotates below it, then your browser has initiated the procedure for searching and installing updates.
It is worth waiting until it is updated and restarting it if necessary.
After restarting the About tab should look like this
This message means that everything is fine with your browser. If after that Flash Player does not work for you, then the problem lies deeper.
The next step is to check if the plugin is present at all. For this in search bar you need to enter: chrome: // plugins.
If you see the entry for Adobe Flash Player is present and highlighted in gray, then this means that the plugin is available, but it is disabled. Just click on "Enable" and restart your browser to be safe.
It may be that after all your actions, your favorite game on the social network will give you a message like:
Let's say you're out of luck and Flash Player never turns on. This means that we will update the component manually. We type in the search bar: chrome: // components.
Find the entry "pepper_flash" and click the "Check for updates" button. Restart your browser.
If none of the above helps
In the end, it is worth asking the question: “Is there any Adobe module Flash Player by the right address? ". To answer this question, type in the search bar again: chrome: // plugins and click on "More".
Let's look at the expanded properties of the plugin.
Copy the path of the dll file location
And through the conductor we see if there is any the specified address the file "pepflashplayer.dll".
If it is missing, it means that Google Chrome is trying to load the module from a location where it is NOT. Naturally, nothing comes of it. There are 2 ways out of this situation:
- Try to manually add the file "pepflashplayer.dll" to desired folder by grabbing it from a running instance of Google Chrome.
- Delete the entire PepperFlash folder. After restarting, the browser will either adjust the settings or download current version plugin from the Internet.
This last option will help solve the problem of the non-working Flash Player.
Sometimes the video does not play, giving the error " Adobe Player Flash Player is already installed but disabled ..... ". Flash player is based on program interface Netscape Plugins (NPAPI). The official Google website says that all plugins created using this technology harm browser security, and most of the functions of some plugins were taken over by HTML5 code. For this reason, a decision was made with 01.09.15 opt out of such plugins. But below is a way to deal with it.
Ways to enable the Adobe Flash Player plugin
The hard way

Flash player for Google Chrome is a separate topic for conversation, since the browser does not use a common system plug-in, but an already built-in one, which is installed along with the program.
Special module for Google Chrome
The Adobe Flash Player plugin integrates into Google Chrome with version 10.2 and higher. The exact name of the plugin is Pepper Flash Player. Another name - Shockwave Flash... It is also called the PPAPI version of the player. Development is the responsibility of Google. In other browsers it is not installed, but can be manually unpacked and pasted into the browser. For this there is a special procedure with a set of commands. One of the commands usually produces an error like this: mv: failed stat for "unpackchrome / opt / google / chrome / PepperFlash / libpepflashplayer.so": No such file or directory.
The error has to be solved. However, why bother when you can use regular plugin and not rack your brains?
This is because Pepper Flash is the most modern and safe option... This is a new generation of plugins that maximizes the capabilities of browsers.
How do I update my Pepper Flash player?
If the browser is used as the main one, the user should rarely ask questions about Flash. Nevertheless, errors occur and, most likely, they can be solved by updates.
The program updates the plugin automatically along with its upgrade, so first you need to make sure that you have the latest version of the browser.
- Open menu (icon of three horizontal lines). Find the item "Help", and in it the first section "About the Google Chrome browser". If the browser is the latest version, then proceed.

Sometimes the plug-in built into the browser may malfunction. To remedy the situation, you can disable browser Adobe. Thus, the Google browser will have to download the general system add-on.
If you have everything multimedia files are played in other browsers, and there is a player settings icon in the control panel, which means you already have it installed. If not, you need to download it.
There are several signs that indicate that it will not hurt to install a different version or update the player. Update if:
