No you have to install the flash package in Googleze it is called chromium-pepper-flash

In chrome it is built in but chromium is open source and flash is not.

well, it doesn’t seem to be working:

dave@lab:~/Downloads> sudo rpm -i chromium-pepper-flash-16.0.0.296-1.1.i586.rpm
warning: chromium-pepper-flash-16.0.0.296-1.1.i586.rpm: Header V3 DSA/SHA1 Signature, key ID a9d6e8ec: NOKEY

after that installation, i started chromium on netflix and i still get the same error.

i even installed pipelight after the search of internet and also not working on firefox.

I gave up and just used Chrome, used the Chrome RPM from google.

#5

Why did you not just add pepper from the repositories???

Where did you find the rpm and are you running in a 32 bit environment???

#6

well, i didn’t find “pepper” in Yast. yes it is 32-bit system (old labtop) and i got the package from https://software.opensuse.org/package/pipelight

#7

Should be there I just looked search for pepper

But pipelight is not for chromium it is used in Tunderbird

#8

thanks. it works great!

#9

in the “Software management”, i typed “pepper” and it found nothing.

Do you have packman repo. That is where I found it It is pretty standard for people to have packman active. Then again I run 64 bit OS
