Web (epiphany) and flash: how to use nspluginwrapper?

Postby Codalunga » Nov 15th, '12, 21:33

Hi everyone!
I found out that I do love Web (aka epiphany) on gnome. The only problem is that it's a pure gtk3 application, which means I can't use flash. I've already installed flash via MCC and it works on Firefox. It looks like I'll have to use nspluginwrapper in order to get my flash player working on Web, but I don't know how to do it. There's no /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/libflashplayer.so (most of the tutorial I found on the internet are for Ubuntu or other debian based distro, and point to that path).
Any idea?
Thanks a lot! :D

I'm using Mageia installed via live GNOME cd, 64bit ;)

If you have the flash-player-plugin package installed then you will find libflashplayer.so at
/usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so ( or /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so )

Just make a symlink to wherever epiphany expects to find it (although I would have expected epiphany to look in the mozilla/plugins folder )
