Will there be a 'Pepper' Linux Flash Player available from Google for versions after 11.2?

Adobe has stated that:
"For Flash Player releases after 11.2, the Flash Player browser plugin for Linux will only be available via the “Pepper” API as part of the Google Chrome browser distribution and will no longer be available as a direct download from Adobe. "
To me this sounds like going forward, after 11.2,  all Linux Flash Players will be released by Google as part of Chrome using Pepper and not by Adobe - but that there will be Linux Flash Players after 11.2, its just that they are only available in Chrome. However most people in the community seem to have interpreted this to mean 11.2 is the last Linux Flash Player ever other than 5 years of security updates from Adobe. Could an Adobe employee please clarify? Will there be Linux Flash Players, via Pepper and Chrome, for 11.3, 11.4. ...12 and so on? This is crutially important for those using the Flash Player within the embeded Linux market.
Thanks in advance,
Chris

Which version of Flash Player do you have in a specific browser which is causing problems?  http://tinyurl.com/fpversion

  • WILL THERE EVER BE SOUND with Flash Player?

    I must use Version 11 or later of Flashplayer to view and listen to most of the material that I need  on a daily basis.  Very recently (within the last two months) this reqt has become paramount across many sites, including cable tv, professional instruction, etc.  I have downloaded upgrades, uninstalled current versions, re-installed, followed NUMEROUS sets of advice, tasks, etc.  I have upgraded to Internet Explorer 10.  I run Windows 7 professional.  I do not care about Google Chrome.
    I just want to be able to hear sound again.  There is nothing wrong with my hardware.
    Please tell me how to successfully get rid of whatever the latest upgrades did to remove sound capabilities.  Thanks.

    Do you hear sound with either of these two videos?

  • When will there be an adobe flash player available to Windows Phone users?

    I'm just wondering when there will be a flash player available to windows phone users.

    No one here would be privi to Apple's plans on the matter. Submit your feedback to Apple requesting such a feature:

    In the interim, there is a reminder program for pretty much every need and taste in the App Store.

    Adobe: No Linux Flash Player Till 2007
    By Stacy Cowley, CRN
    2:25 PM EDT Fri. Sep. 01, 2006
    Impatient Linux users will have to wait till the end of the
    year for even a
    preview release of Adobe's Flash Player 9.
    The company's lead Flash for Linux engineer, Mike Melanson ,
    reported this
    week in his blog that Adobe won't release any alpha versions
    of its Flash
    port, holding out instead for a full-featured beta scheduled
    for release
    sometime late this year.
    Adobe recently released a major Flash overhaul, version 9,
    for Windows and
    Macintosh clients. For Linux users, the release lengthened
    the Flash gap
    between them and other users: Adobe skipped Flash Player 8
    for Linux and
    hasn't released a Linux update since mid-2004. Because Flash
    is not fully
    backward-compatible, Web content developed for the newer
    Flash players often
    won't run in version 7, the most current Linux version.
    Adobe's market
    research shows that 86 percent of U.S. computer users are
    able to view Flash
    8 content.
    "I have to question a cross-platform strategy that has a bias
    against one
    platform," RedMonk analyst Stephen O'Grady, a Linux user,
    gripped in his
    blog. The lack of a modern Flash player leaves him unable to
    view content on
    a number of Web sites, including major destinations like
    ESPN.com.
    An Adobe spokesman said the company expects a full release of
    Flash Player 9
    for Linux in early 2007. Because of the "short" cycle between
    Flash Player 8
    and 9 -- ten months -- Adobe opted to skip version 8 for
    Linux and move
    directly to version 9, he said.
    Melanson's blog tracks the day-to-day progress and decisions
    Adobe is making
    on Flash for Linux. A full-time Linux user since 1999,
    Melanson shares the
    frustration of his comrades about Adobe's Linux lag.
    "In September, 2005, I happened [across a blog that]
    mentioned in passing
    that Macromedia was looking for someone to port Flash Player
    to Linux. I
    applied for the job and now here I am," he posted.
    "When I started at Adobe, I found out that there is a shadow
    cabal of
    engineers that very much want to see the current Flash Player
    run on Linux,
    and would even try their hand with the current codebase from
    time to time.
    But there are only so many hacking hours in the day."

    practices.
    > The kinds of systems multiplatform developers use these
    days
    That's the point .. 'these days'.
    Much of the problem is older code, must be over a decade old
    now) which was
    not well written. That is not an uncommon occurence in
    products that have
    such a long existence as flash player. Supported platforms,
    development
    techniques, developer guidelines, management etc all change
    over the years
    and things that seemed 'a good idea at the time' end up
    becoming a problem.
    In hindsight there would be many things that should have been
    done
    differently in the past .. but without a working time-machine
    that cannot be
    fixed, without an enormous investment in development to
    rewrite the code
    base in a manner that can be more easily ported .. which is
    what is
    happening.
    Also the low level optimisations required for such
    cpu-intense real-time
    graphic processing are difficult to port, as they rely on
    optimised assembly
    code for different cpus and chipsets
    And further there is the issue of different operating systems
    and libraries
    to link against on different platforms.
    > nightly/daily automated builds
    Anyone who thinks supporting new platforms its just a matter
    of re-building
    or doing daily builds is naive. There is no indication that
    Adboe does not
    make use of these practices. But continuous integration and
    nightly builds
    are only tools to maintain a port once it is done .. it
    doesn't help you DO
    the port in the first place.
    > From a marketing point of view you want a simultaneous
    release on all
    > platforms
    I'm sure Adobe DO want simulataneous release .. if it were
    possible. But
    that is not possible if the software is not ported to all the
    platforms.
    With it ported to the platforms the vast majority of people
    use (windows and
    mac) it makes sense to release the newer versions that are
    required in order
    to release other major revenue-earning products like Flex.
    That is a valid
    and sound marketting and financial decision.

    You simply cannot get the performance demanded using
    intrinsics.

    It may be worth your while reading the blogs by the adobe
    developers where
    they discuss the issues and get feedback from people such as
    yourself.
    > On the subject of buisness priorities, the number one is
    that the customer

    Exactly .. so MM/Adobe got the player out as quickly as
    possible for the
    majority of their customers. Making EVERYONE have to wait
    while the player
    was ported to all the other minority platforms would NOT have
    been good for
    the majority.
    As they say .. you can't please all the people all the time.
    You have to
    pick you battles.
    > In particular where websites are concerned you want to
    get access
    > to as many users as possible.
    Exactly .. and FlashPlayer penetration and usage stats reveal
    that it IS
    availble to the vast majority of users and moreso than most
    other
    multi-media technologies

    Have you even looked at all the figures (which you don't seem
    to believe

    Its only significant when you are part of it :) The vast
    majority of
    people, and those with the money to spend, are using Windows
    and Mac.
    That's where the customer base is.

    I'm sure they won't .. which is why they are still activly
    porting to other
    platforms.
    I would much rather see them take the time to do it right,
    rather than let
    quality slip in order to rush out a half-done product to
    satisfy the demands
    of the few.

  • Is there an alternative to adobe flash player for the iPad?

    Is there an alternative to adobe flash player for the ipad2?

    No - flash is not supported, and probably never will be (http://www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughts-on-flash/ and Adobe havn't created a version that works on iOS anyway).
    Browsers such as Skyfire, iSwifter, and Puffin 'work' on some sites, but not all judging by the reviews. You might also find that some sites (especially news sites) have their own apps on the app store which let you get some of the content that you want.

  • Linux Flash Player 10.2 Projector points to 10.1

    Hi!
    When I go to http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html and go to download the Linux Flash Player 10.2 Projector, the downloaded flashplayer_10_sa.tar.gz file, contains the projector 10.1 which has a date of October 22, 2010.

    Wizard_13-
    You can get the new 10.2 linux Projector and debug Projector in the 10.2 archive located at http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html
    Just download the 'Release and Content Debugger' archive for 10.2.152.26 with a date of 2/8/2011. Once you unzip/uncompress the archive you navigate to the linux folder and retrieve either release or debug Projector.

  • Is there a way to EMBED Flash player?

    Hello Earth-lings,
    Good Day!
    First of all, I have created a website for a client of mine
    but whenever they wanted to
    visit their 100% Flash website, they can see the 'Flash
    Detection - Download Flash
    Player from Adobe' prompt but they could not install the
    downloaded Flash Player
    as they got an error something like ' You don't have
    privilages . Please contact your
    Admin.'
    Is there any way to solve this issue?
    PS. Sorry for the 2x posts.

    But is there a way to embed Flash Player in it so that it's
    easier for
    them - what I meant was the trouble to inform their admin
    just for
    this.

When I disable the Shockwave Flash Object 11.1.102.55 page loaded without flash and works fine.
    I have installed Google Chrome and flash is working fine in Google Chrome browser but I need IE9 as most of my application IE9 supporting.
    My system configuration is as follows
    - OS : Windows Vista 32 Bit with SP2
    - Browser : IE 9
    - Antivirus: Kaspersky Internet Security
    Below are some steps which I have taken to resolve this issue but no success:
    - Uninstalled the IE 9 and found the same issue in IE 8
    - Enable the ActiveX filter but after that page works fine but flash image will not display
    Kindly let me know if you required any log files or information to solve this issue. I need help from adobe to solve my system problem. I have considered above steps also given by you but no use. I have log an issue with https://bugbase.adobe.com/ but not get proper response.

    Waterfox can coexist peacefully with Waterfox.  I have both installed, but never use Firefox any more.
    Not only can Waterfox run in 64-bit address space, it also is better optimized during compile time than Firefox.  (For obvious reasons; Firefox is compatible with many old systems, Waterfox only needs to be compatible with new 64-bit systems.)
    P.S. regarding Chris' advice above; Firefox and Waterfox use the same profile, so if that is actually the problem, then it will occur in both browsers.

    Boot into your Recovery Partition by hold down the Command and R keys whilst booting.
    When the Recovery screen appears, go to the Utilities menu and open Terminal.
    In Terminal, type:
    resetpassword
    ...a small app will open and allow you to choose the user for whom you want to change the password. If you are the admin, be certain that you choose your admin user. Type in your new password twice and give yourself a good hint. Click OK (or Done or whatever) and reboot, enjoying the use of your new, hopefully memorable, password.
