Linux: Instance Invalid error returned by flash plugin

Hi there,
I'm having some problems getting netscape plugins to run from
my application; I hope somebody can help me with this.
I am writing a Qt application in Linux to play flash files.
Basically, what I'm trying to do is running the flash plugin from
my own little test application. I am able to receive the Plugin
function pointers, name, description. But when I call the plugin
function NPP_New with a valid instance ( NPP) parameter, it returns
"NPERR_INSTANCE_INVALID_ERROR".
When I use the same code with npflash.so (
http://www.swift-tools.net/Flash/),
it does not give me any error and creates a valid plugin instance.
Is there something specific that I need to pass to Adobe plugin?
Thanks in advance,
Mugdha.

Error, The Adobe Flash plugin has crashed. Where do I go to down load it or how do I fix it??

Error, "The Adobe Flash plugin has crashed." I get this error when I try to watch a video even on YouTube. Where do I go to down load it or how do I fix it??

I'd start with disabling Hardware Acceleration, as described in the video troubleshooting guide below:
Video playback issues
If that solves the problem, make sure that your graphics drivers are current.
If it *still* happens with current drivers, please give us detailed information on the graphics card and driver, so that we can disable hardware acceleration on this configuration and start a conversation with the appropriate vendor.
The best way to get this information is to do the following (on Windows):
Open a command prompt
Type: dxdiag
Hit Enter
This should launch the DirectX Diagnostic Tool
Click Save All Information (or whatever that save button says).
Paste the contents into a reply here, or you can click Use Advanced Editor in the upper right of the reply window, and then attach the file using the link at the bottom right of the reply window.

I'm getting the error "The Adobe Flash plugin has crashed" whenever I try and watch livestreams on Justin.tv, although any other content that requires flash works fine.

I've tried uninstalling flash and firefox separately and neither helped.

I cannot recall ever being this frustrated with my Mac and I have been faithfully using Mac for 20+ years!!
I am currently using a Macbook Pro 2.3 Ghz intel Core i7 4GB RAM Mac OSX 10.7.5
Problems encountered:
Very slow browsers chrome, safari, firefox - have tried them all in hopes of finding one that works with no luck!!
Adobe Flash crash error codes all the time. I receive update request links from all three browsers asking me to update adobe flash software which I have done repeatedly numerous times with absolutely no success, just a waste of time and lots of frustration.
Spinning rainbow sprocket is a common thing on my macbook, drives me insane!!
I found this thread and followed the instructions to go into "System Preferences, Flash Player, selecting the Advanced tab, and delete all browser data and settings." I then updated my Adobe Flash in my System Preferences, not the typical browser update method.
So far, this method appears to be working - will keep my fingers crossed!!!

"Adobe flash plugin has crashed" error. Help?

I have tried a bunch of fixes I found searching through the web, but nothing so far has worked. I thought you fine fellow Apple folks might know what the heck is going on. After the last update, I started getting the error message "Adobe flash plugin has crashed" in both Firefox and Safari (both updated fully). I'm running Snow Leopard on a Mac Pro. Using latestet version of the Flash plugin. And, I have uninstalled and installed again per Adobe's website... not helpful, still having the issue.
Funny thing is, I have all the same software, updgrades, etc. on my Macbook Pro, and the Flash plugin works fine. Can anyone help me find out what might be causing this issue?

The Adobe Flash plugin has crashed! Help please.

I can't load any flash content within Firefox. I instantly get the following error: "The Adobe Flash plugin has crashed. Reload the page to try again.".
So far I've uninstalled and reinstalled Flash, restarted my computer, and disabled hardware acceleration all to no avail. Any help would be appreciated.

Ok, so scratch my last response. Disabling hardware acceleration through Firefox (orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced > General > "Use hardware acceleration when available" ) did not work however step 3B did. Following your link, right clicking on the Flash logo and disabling hardware acceleration there has fixed my issue.
Thanks!

Error message "Warning: Unresponsive Plugin" flash crashes when not connected to HDMI

EVERY time I try to open a web page that has a video like Facebook or Youtube, I get an error message saying "Warning: Unresponsive Plugin" and the flash ultimately crashes. I tried updating the flash plugin and the problem was not solved. I recently noticed that when I plugged my laptop to my HDTV via an HDMI cable that this problem was not occuring. As soon as I took out the HDMI cable and went to Youtube I got the error message. Is there an option that might need to be changed that's causing this problem? I tried opening those pages in Internet Explorer and got a very similar error. It's probably not a Firefox problem but I'm hoping to find out if there is something in my PC that needs to be modified for this error to not occur again.

Hi alrayes,
I suspect it is an issue with your video drivers.
If you go to your PC manufacturer's website (e.g. Dell, HP,...) and look up your model they should have links to download the drivers.
Alternatively, (assuming your PC does not have integrated graphics) you can go to your video card manufacturer's website, and they will have the very latest drivers.
Let us know if you figure it out.

Flash plugin 10.3 not working in SUSE linux enterprise 10 version.

OS using: SUSE linux enterprise 10 version
current Flash Plugin: 9.0
I have downloaded the latest version of Flash plugin 10.3. for linux and replaced the old flash.so file with the new one. but after updating, i got only blank white screen. When i rigth click on the browser, i can see flash plugin 10.3 menu. I don't know what is the issue. Flash plugin 9 is working fine without any issue. I browse through adobe website and findout some additional libraries are required for FP 10. Is that the problem now. If so how can i fix that. Somebody please help me out.

Sorry, I know nothing about Linux; it was the only idea I had.
The only other suggestion I have is to try updating the device drivers for the video adapter, but I'm not sure this will fix the problem.
Hopefully someone from Adobe can have a look at your problem tomorrow at US daytime.

How to add the flash plugin in firefox beta linux x86_64

Someone give me the solution in a live chat session so I share it here.
If you are testing firefox under linux (x86_64 in my case) and the flash plugin is installed but not detected by firefox, it's probably because you are testing it in a single user environment.
For example, you have downloaded and unarchived firefox beta in your home directory :
/home/toto/downloads/firefox
And flash plugin was already installed in :
/usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so
All you have to do is to create a personal plugin directory :
mkdir -p ~/.mozilla/plugins
And then, copy the flash plugin :
cp -a /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so ~/.mozilla/plugins/

A symbolic link to that file should be sufficient.

Adobe flash plugin "invalid" after pluginreg.dat rebuild - why?

Just loaded Fedora 16 and it comes with FireFox7. Followed all of the instructions to download Adobe Flash, loaded the .so into the plugin directory, but the plugin did not appear.
Followed the Troubleshooting instructions and deleted the pluginreg.dat and then restarted FF.
Looked at the newly created pluginreg.dat and found this:
[INVALID]
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so:$
1321705544000:$
Obviously, the flash plugin is still not recognized.
Noted that all of the .so libraries in the plugin directory had 755 mode, changed the libflashplayer.so to the same permissions. No effect.
Where to now?

Please ignore. This was caused by an old version of the Flash player. When I downloaded the current stuff, it all seems to work now.

In addition to the adobe flash plugin crashing, i keep getting this javascript error: Bad NPObject as private data!

I am having major issues right now! My browser has slowed to a crawl. The adobe flash plugin keeps crashing while im watching vids and now I am getting this javascript error msg: Bad NPObject as private data!...I am getting this msg ALL THE TIME
What are the remedies?

Please see solution in http://kb.mozillazine.org/Problematic_extensions
for "McAfee Site Advisor".
(Windows): For best results you should uninstall '''McAfee Site Advisor''' from Control Panel > add/change programs (Programs and Features). Reboot the system. Then Reinstall from http://www.siteadvisor.com/ and reboot the system. When installing refuse other suggested (crapware) applications.

Flash plugin problem in linux

Hi
I am running debian (lenny) and my browsers (firefox, iceweasel, epiphany, you name it) crash when I try to maximize a youtube video. Below is the error message:
epiphany-browser: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplayer.so: undefined symbol: gtk_widget_get_window
I have the latest flash plugin (10.x) installed (youtube video wont start otherwise)
Can anyone suggest a way around it?
BTW, adobe sucks

That sounds like an answer from a flash developer.
If the flashplugin.so had a dependency, the dependency should have been listed in the install package. There are hundreds of functions like this gtk_window and the failure occurs only for this. I don't accept it is the fault of gtk/debian. Adobe ought to re-make their install package, or better still, allow the community to take care of it by open-sourcing flash player

Where's AMD64 Linux Flash Plugin Already

Crap. Flash has been around for years and there's still not
an AMD64 flash plugin...WTF. It's almost as if they're embarrased
of it or something. Bring it out you lazy *****.

OK, looking at the
Flash
for Linux Known Issues, I see it says "Express Install is an
unsupported feature due to the variety of Linux platforms, each
handling the Adobe Flash Player plug-in installation in different
ways." As I said above, though, it would be nice if the kuler page
didn't imply otherwise.

Flash plugin detected but not working (Firefox 22 on Linux)

Hi all,
I can't get the flash plugin to work. It's installed, detected in about:plugins, but when I visit adobes's test page at http://www.adobe.com/fr/shockwave/welcome/ , I just get the usual " you need a plugin to view this content" thing.
This happenned since I migrated from Mageia 1 to Mageia 2, and still doesn't work on Mageia 3, which uses Firefox 17 ESR. I then downloaded and installed Firefox 22 directly from Mozilla, still with no luck. I've reset my profile, tried to use an empty profile, tried disabling all add-ons, still no luck.
about:plugins displays this:
File : libflashplayer.so
Path : /opt/firefox/browser/plugins/libflashplayer.so
Version : 11,2,202,297
State : Enabled
Shockwave Flash 11.2 r202
This is the most up-to-date flash version available from Adobe.
Another thing is that this machine is a 32 bits install, on an Athlon XP 3000+ with a Radeon X1650 graphics card. Surprisingly, on another machine, using the same distro but with a 64 bits install, Flash works well.
I'm out of ideas now, so any hint would be welcome. Thank you.

Shockwave also known as Shockwave for Director is not the same as the Shockwave Flash Player.

How to enable sound in Adobe Flash plugin in Linux ?

I installed the Flash plugin from Adobe's yum repo, but there is no sound. When I look on the online settings manager, there is no control to set the sound output device.
On my system, there are multiple sound devices, only one of which works for playback - hw:1,0 in ALSA. In applications which
allow me to choose an audio device, that works.
The Totem media player, like Flash, has no audio settings.
But when I use gnome-sound-properties to set the default playback device to "ALC889 analog", Totem works. Flash does not.

No, no pulseaudio
However, I've solved it. Per http://www.seehuhn.de/pages/alsa, If I set the default ALSA device to card 1, then restart Firefox, Flash sound works. As does "aplay" with no options.
This also works to fix the same issue with the built-in OGG player in Firefox, per my question https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/929698

LINUX flash-plugin

I installed CentOS about a month ago, installed flash-plugin,
no problem, then i reinstalled my CentOS, tried to reinstall
plugin, it installs, yet when I'm accessing adobe.com (or others
flash based sites) I'm no longer seeing flash
[root@localhost ~]# rpm -q flash-plugin
flash-plugin-10.0.12.36-release
[root@localhost ~]#
it is possible that last time I've used previous version of
flash-plugin, maybe even 9.x?
anyone having same issue? or know how to fix this?

I'm having the same issue.... you tube works but other sites
say I do not have flash. I am downgrading to version 9.
Looks like it comes down to sites with incorrect flash
detection.
