HowTo: Make Adobe's Flash player work with Konqueror
1.
Steps
You can use kmplayer's XEmbed to run Adobe's flash player under
Konqueror.
- Install media-video/kmplayer, and
ensure you have USE="npp" set. Make sure you have the
proper version installed:
| kde Version |
kmplayer Version |
| 3 |
>=media-video/kmplayer-0.10.0c |
| 4 |
>=media-video/kmplayer-0.11 |
- For amd64 machines, you will also need to install
net-www/nspluginwrapper
- Run the following commands, depending on what arch you are
running:
Code Listing 1.1: x86 |
$ kwriteconfig --file kmplayerrc --group "application/x-shockwave-flash" --key player npp
$ kwriteconfig --file kmplayerrc --group "application/x-shockwave-flash" --key plugin /usr/lib/nsbrowser/plugins/libflashplayer.so |
Code Listing 1.1: amd64 |
$ kwriteconfig --file kmplayerrc --group "application/x-shockwave-flash" --key player npp
$ kwriteconfig --file kmplayerrc --group "application/x-shockwave-flash" --key plugin /usr/lib64/nsbrowser/plugins/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so |
- Open Konqueror and click Settings > Configure
Konqueror. In the new window navigate to File
Associations in the left-hand panel and select
application/x-shockwave-flash. Click the Embedding
tab and click Add... Select Embedded MPlayer for
KDE from the new window. If it is not there then you may
need to run kbuildsycoca from a terminal. Close all the
opened windows.
