Where is PPAPI plug-in?

Bob Novy Jun 23, 2014 7:51 AM

I use an iMac with OS v10.9.3, the latest. But something about FlashPlayer eats at me.

In System Preferences / Flash Player I see this:

NPAPI Plug-in version 14.0.0.125 is installed. :-) But ...

PPAPI Plug-in is _not_ installed. [Emphasis _I_ added! :-) ]

Trying to seek "PPAPI Plug-in" with Adobe gets me nowhere-fast. So I ask this board, "Do I _need_ this PPAPI Plug-in?"

And, "What would the PPAPI Plug-in let me do, anyway?" Thank you, one who reads this Adobe Board.

Hi Bob,

Flash player PPAPI plugin is used by Google Chrome browser.
If you are not using Chrome browser, you don't need to use PPAPI plugin.

Thanks,
Hiroshi

Hi Hiroshi [those 2 words _both_ begin with Hi :-) ],

But what if I _am_ using the Google Chrome browser, eh? So my question remains, "Where may I find the PPAPI plugin?" Do you know? Thank you, Hiroshi.

Hi Bob,

Google Chrome comes with PPAPI flash player. So, you don't need to install it separately.
If you want to know exact location of PPAPI flash player such as pepflashplayer.dll or PepperFlashPlayer.plugin, you can enter "chrome://flash" in Chrome's address bar to see the information.

Thanks,
Hiroshi

Hello again, Hiroshi. I assume that what you wrote is true. So in my System Preferences / Flash Player / Advanced window, I can _ignore_ the statement, PPAPI Plug-in is not installed.

Maybe I have too-much time on my hands? Thank you again, Hiroshi. :-)

I see. I saw the same.
Yes, please ignore the message. I believe your Chrome browser can play flash content without any problem.

I'll file a bug for this cosmetic issue.

Thanks for reporting the issue.

Thank you, Hiroshi. [You've made me feel that I've made a-difference, as you fix this cosmetic issue. I prefer that _everything_ to be just-right, OK? :-) ]
