[Kind of Solved] Opera flash plugin
« on: April 16, 2010, 10:35:00 AM »
Please forgive me if it's obvious but I've been searching the forum and synaptic and can't find what I'm looking for.

I'm running my new Minime 2010 and using the Opera browser (just as I did with my 2009 KDE 4 install) but now I can't find the older opera flash player plugin in the 2010 repositories. Does anyone know if the name has changed or if it's not in the repositories? Can't view any flash without it.

Thanks

Hi timeth,
It is true that the 2010 repo does not have flash-player-plugin-opera but I have flash-player-plugin installed and run opera without problems on websites with flash. Can you give an example site that does not work in opera?
Alternatively you can get the flash-player-plugin-opera from the non-free section of the 2007 repo which installs with opera in 2010. However, the flash-player-plugin-opera requires to have opera, so you can not use opera-qt or opera-unite.
hope this helps,
-p.

Thanks Pinoc, that fixed it.

I just installed the normal flash-player-plugin rather than flash-player-plugin-opera and it works ok.  ;)

Even though I installed the normal flash-player-plugin and videos on Youtube are playing ok, I tried some videos on Vimeo and from the screenshot, you can see that the CPU% usage of operapluginwrap shot through the roof (I think, or is that % not so high?) and crashed my computer (just once) I tried it again and the CPU% was consistently around the same numbers but it didn't crash again. The CPU usage on Youtube videos is lower at around 40-50%.

I then tried installing the flash-player-plugin-opera from the 2007 repo which still plays Youtube videos ok but Vimeo videos don't even show up on the screen. Just a blank white space. I know that flash is and has been an ongoing issue with Opera but thought I'd just add here what I was experiencing.

Videos can be pretty CPU consuming, it all depends of your hardware and video resolution/codec.
On vimeo I get 20-22% CPU usage on my Q8200 cpu (don't know if it's % of one core of total cores ?) and about 7-9% on youtube with 480p videos.
No crash at all for now, using the default updated PCLinuxOS 2010 KDE4 installation, plus latest Opera (10.52 build 6325).
