Flash player

[rotolino]

Hello,
I know chrome uses a special pre-installed version of the flash player. Can I make cef use the same player if available?

Thanks in advance.

CEF can use the Google chrome flash plugin if you register the plugin directory using CefSettings.extra_plugin_paths. See issue 130 for more information.

If I set settings.extra_plugin_paths to chrome path the program crashes at CefInitialize.
What can I do?

what about the chrome pdf plugins, pdf.dll? would that work the same way (legality aside - I believe its not legal to redistribute that pdf.dll).

-g8

@rotolino: How are you setting the value and what CEF revision are you using?

@greenh8: The PDF plugin uses PPAPI which is not currently supported by CEF. See this discussion from chromium-dev: http://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org ... d425a0026d

It was a problem in the code (I hadn't checked what actually is settings.extra_plugin_paths)
Current code:

Code: Select all

cef_string_t sExtraPath;
    memset(&sExtraPath, 0, sizeof(cef_string_t));

    wstring wExtraPath;
    GetChromePath(&wExtraPath);

    settings.extra_plugin_paths = cef_string_list_alloc();
    CefString(&sExtraPath).FromWString(wExtraPath);
    cef_string_list_append(settings.extra_plugin_paths, &sExtraPath);

It's not working yet (my browser can't see Chrome's flash player).
Any idea? Thanks.

Making a private copy of gcswf32.dll, renaming it to NPSWF32.dll and passing the path to this file to CEF doesn't help too. What can I do?

You probably need to debug plugin loading. Set a break point in BrowserWebViewDelegate::CreatePluginDelegate and trace the logic.

Hi everybody, I have the same issue. Is there a resolution to this?

Thanks

i don't understand the what can be the problem, i found that some video can be played but other not.

This video is played correctly: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovivii38 ... =topvideos

This video isn't played (but audio is ok): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4h8uOUC ... ure=relmfu

I'm using cef with off-screen rendering active without any particular plugin installed (like gcswf32.dll etc...)

any ideas?
