Description of your issue

I downloaded "Lightspark-0.8.2-git-win64.exe" and I installed it.

I want testing lightspark flash plugin in chromium browser.

So I launched chromium with "--ppapi-flash-path C:\Program Files\Lightspark\nplightsparkplugin.dll"

But chromium can't display flash game

I try to using "C:\Program Files\Lightspark\lightspark.dll" and "C:\Program Files\Lightspark\PepperFlash\libpepflashplayer.dll", but still can't display flash game.

Does anyone can help me?

I can't test this because I don't have a Windows machine so take the following with a grain of salt:

• The correct library to use is libpepflashplayer.dll.
• You have to make sure the manifest.json file is in the same directory as libpepflashplayer.dll
• libpepflashplayer.dll depends on lightspark.dll, so make sure lightspark.dll is in a location where chromium can find it
  (try putting it in the same directory as libpepflashplayer.dll)

I wanted to see if I could reproduce the issue so I went ahead and added added --ppapi-flash-path="C:\Program Files\Lightspark\PepperFlash\libpepflashplayer.dll" to the end of the a chromium path and copied libspark.dll to the PepperFlash directory. The player crashes in the web browser while viewing viewing a swf in a web page. I can't find any errors within EventViewer to help with this

[dbluelle]

Maybe the crash has the same source as #496

I'll test out the new version of Lightspark tomorrow, see if this works

I have not been able to use updated Lightspark version within Chromium. I have copied libspark to Pepperflash and have added the argument to chromium shortcut.

I have tried the links below:

[ThanoS-max]

Yes even I am experiencing some difficulties to able to use updated Lightspark version within Chromium. Can you give me updates regarding this please?

[huwdp]

FYI: The next versions of Firefox/Chrome will have flash support removed completely, so the plugins will not work anymore.

Pale Moon allows the use of NPAPI so you could try that. Also Lightspark can be used on Windows standalone if you were to use command line, I only use Lightspark from command line.

[dbluelle]

So far nobody could find out why it doesn't work, because there are no entries regarding lightspark or flash anywhere in the debug log, so there is no real progress on that issue.

Any progress? How do I install the plugin on Microsoft Edge (Chromium)?

[huwdp]

It's not possible in Microsoft Edge. Only a few websites browsers supports plugins now (https://github.com/lightspark/lightspark/wiki/Getting-Lightspark-up-and-running-in-Web-Browser)
