Pepper Flash confusion

Postby dcaputi » Thu Nov 21, 2013 10:44 am

I'm deeply confused and I apologize if this is something that has been discussed or is commonly known among the core CEF community...

Does the current version of CEF3 for windows (3.1547.1412) support the current Pepper Flash plugin? I'm attempting to use the one that is currently bundled with Chrome (11.9.900.117).

As a side note, the Adobe NPAPI plugin works fine and I will use that as a fallback.

I'm developing a Win32 native C++ application using the cefclient application as a template. I'm able to load the plugin using CefAddWebPluginPath and it shows up in the list of plugins but when a page attempts to load anything dependent on the flash player, I get an error "unable to load plugin" in the web window.

I have another developer attempting to debug the issue using source code from the Chromium project. He's telling me the CEF3 version is missing large pieces of functionality.

Thanks for any information,
-Dan C.

No. You must use PPAPI flash from a version of Chrome that exactly matches the CEF3 version. You can get newer CEF3 builds from http://cefbuilds.com. Also, you must have a license from Adobe if you plan to distribute PPAPI flash with your application.

Hi,
I have a Chromium revision 234212 and CEF3 1707 compiled together.

Which version of pepflashplayer.dll I have to use and how it can be specified in cefclient.exe command line parameters?

Thanks in advance.

I now have the latest "builds" of both CEF3 and Chromium (CEF 3.1707.1518 - Chromium 33.0.1707.0 r234212)
As expected, there is no Pepper Flash plugin in either project.

Where do I get the Chrome Pepper Flash plugin/DLL for this? How do I know what version to even look for?
When you say "Chrome" I assume you're talking about Google's end user browser and not the Chromium open source browser.

Thanks for any more details,
-Dan C.

Pepper flash is only distributed with the branded Google Chrome browser installation. Use of the pepper flash plugin in CEF may work, but it is not actively supported or tested due to the licensing issues.

http://code.google.com/p/chromiumembedd ... il?id=1136 shows the commandline.
