Adobe Flash Player (new beta) extension

(1/1)

coreplayer2:
Finally an update and change in policy starting with v24
http://blogs.adobe.com/flashplayer/2016/08/beta-news-flash-player-npapi-for-linux.html#sthash.6721uaBB.dpbs

A new Flash plugin (beta version) for all supported Linux x86 & x86_64 Web browsers is available, currently version 24,0,0,145
v24.x beta release notes http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/labs/flashruntimes/shared/air24_flashplayer24_releasenotes.pdf

Whether v11.2 will remain available is in question, though at present the min hardware requirements don't appear to have changed any.

At this point I feel a cautionary note is in order and I quote from Adobe's beta release notes:

--- Quote ---The Flash Player beta is designed for evaluation purposes only. We do not recommended that this release be used on production systems or for any mission-critical work.

--- End quote ---


Meanwhile, I've modified the Original getFlash script to download and install Flash-player version 24.x.  I've had no issues with running the script, or the beta flash player plugin.   The beta download links may remain valid a while I hope.   

An important note: Please uninstall any previously installed flash10 or Flash11 extension before proceeding.

A "getFlash_beta.tcz" extension is being submitted asap.  However,  anyone wanting to test the getFlash_beta extension or get the the latest flash Player version 24.x please pm me for the latest getflash_beta.tcz

coreplayer2:
Updates to getFlash_beta extensions, now supporting OSS, Alsa and Pulseaudio have been submitted.


the getFlash11 is no longer working since the update to Flash v24 went official.

coreplayer2:
Moving forward, we'll have getFlash.tcz and getFlash_beta.tcz extension.

getFlash.tcz extension submitted today supports all TC-7 x86, x86_64 OSS, Alsa and pulseaudio installations.  This extension will fetch the latest officially supported flash version, currently at v24.0.0.186

The getFlash_beta.tcz extension will fetch the latest beta version, currently at v24.0.0.189.  Since the download path is not version dependent  this will likely still operate normally even if getFlash is temporarily broken. 


getFlash11 is depreciated, in fact is currently broken and will be no longer available.

Enjoy the latest Flash

thane:
FWIW, getFlash_beta worked for me, and the Flash beta version seems OK. Looking forward to trying getFlash since generally I like to stick with supported versions. Thanks coreplayer2 for all the work!

coreplayer2:
Thanks Thane, is good to hear.  I was getting a little concerned when you had trouble with deps etc etc..
