CEF + YouTube + Adobe Flash error

[anumaz]

Hi,

I've been trying to run CEF on a little server I'm playing with, though, when I launch a youtube video I just uploaded, I get that error:

I've uploaded both a .wmv and a .mp4 to YouTube - both give me the error. Anyone has a clue?

Sorry for big image. It pretty much says to get Adobe Flash Player.

Try updating your Adobe flash

Hi,

Chromium already has the latest Flash version, but I also installed "Other version" and I get the same error.

Is Adobe Flash enabled in the settings (Settings -> Tab Browser)?

Yes.

I bump this topic because I experience the same issue. I double checked that I have installed Pepper API Flash Player for Chromium and enabled plugins in the settings, but with no sucess. I can provide a test resource if necessary.

Can you post the test resource? In the mean time try loading it with Youtube TV https://www.youtube.com/tv#/watch/video ... ?v=ID_HERE

[AlexTMjugador]

Here is the resource.

If Flash Player is detected when the resource is started, the test web title will read your currently installed Flash Player version. In my case however, even after installing Flash Player from here, it isn't able to read it. Interestingly, if I open the test.htm file bundled with the resource in my browser (Firefox), it works fine.

It uses the SWFObject tool to check the version, in case you are wondering, so if Flash Player is installed there should be no problems.

It just shows detected in Chrome and Opera but no flash player detected in-game.

Does this not work for you?

sW,sH = guiGetScreenSize() 
bW,bH = 640,360 
  
Screen = createBrowser(bW,bH,false,false) 
  
function loadURL() 
    loadBrowserURL(Screen,"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t60roHM1t7o") 
end 
addEventHandler("onClientBrowserCreated",Screen,loadURL) 
  
function drawBrowser() 
    dxDrawImage((sW-bW)/2,(sH-bH)/2,bW,bH,Screen) 
end 
addEventHandler("onClientRender",root,drawBrowser) 

I'm pretty sure Youtube uses html5 now. So, Youtube shouldn't have to be a problem.

When I load this:

requestBrowserDomains({"get.adobe.com"}) 
function loadURL() 
    loadBrowserURL(guiGetBrowser(Screen),"https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/") 
end 
addEventHandler("onClientBrowserWhitelistChange",root,loadURL) 
addEventHandler("onClientBrowserCreated",guiGetBrowser(Screen),loadURL) 

The page says it's installed but that it's disabled, even though it's enabled in my settings. So yeah, I'm not sure either.

Yes, YouTube works fine for me because it uses HTML5 and that is not a problem. But there are some important websites that use Flash to display content and don't have plans of changing very soon (example of big site which still uses Flash Player: ok.ru), so requesting an HTML5 version of the site is not an option.

I think this is an actual issue with MTA: SA implementation of CEF, because you said that it couldn't detect Flash in-game but it could in Chrome, which is based on Chromium too. I'm going to report this issue in Mantis to see what's going on.

EDIT: you can watch and comment the issue here.
