I searched for this...can't believe it hasn't been discussed, but I cannot install the Flash player plugin, or the Shockwave plugin. It behaves as though it is installing but it never appears in Kmeleon. Does Kmeleon support these plugins?

K-Meleon work fine with Flash plugin, you only must download the plugin for Mozilla/Firefox and install it in your system normally. K-Meleon detected this plugin, you can check it in menu Help -> About Plugins (about: plugins).

On my win98 there's only a problem when having that plugin double, once in the system, and another in KM plugins folder. Then neither works.
But if only one is either here or there, the browser works fine with it.

Like often recommanded from others I've uninstalled my system-flash too, and only kept a copy of the NPSWF32.dll in the KM plugins folder. That single file is really all it needs, works fine

Looks like we may need to use a new Flash plugin for KM.

Which OS are you using? and, which version of flash would you like to use?
Check in the Help menu > Installed plugins.

Flash Player version 10.0.42.34 is out.

Quote

Adobe's security updates 10.0.42.34 for Flash Player and 1.5.3 for Adobe Air fix six critical security holes on all platforms that potentially allow attackers to gain control of a system – provided the victim is working at admin privilege level.
For an attack to be successful, a user only needs to visit or inadvertently be redirected to a specially crafted web page.

More on H security.



I don't install flash. I download the install_flash_player.exe and extract it using Universal Extractor, than I copy NPSWF32.dll to \K-Meleon\plugins - voilà!

For Windows 98 or older Linux Systems, that do not
support Flash 10, there are updated Flash 9 versions, here :

Plugins are one thing I haven't yet tested under wine.

Fred, do you use Windows versions of the plugins, or do you call Linux versions from K-Meleon ?

Thanks

For Flash I use the Windows plugin, either
Flash 10 or, if the Linux distro version
does not support this, I use Flash 9, which
is still being updated by Adobe. Such distros
need also Flash 9 in Firefox for Linux.
For music I use the Linux versions of RealPlayer,
mplayer-no-gui (working in the console), xmms,
mocp (console) or mp3blaster (console).
I call up music links or video links with macros
that I have made for the right click context menu,
to connect them to the various players.
It's easier that way, although music embedded in the
website script does not always start automatically,
but has to be called up manually by copy and paste
to the player.
Streamripper (console) can record mp3 radio, or can
be called up also from Streamtuner.

Fred

P.S.:
All apps except RealPlayer should be in the Ubuntu
repositories, mocp as moc, mplayer-nogui, mp3blaster,
streamtuner and streamripper.
xmms only in Ubuntu Dapper, but there is an xmms2 for
newer Ubuntus available.

Actually Flash 10 works fine with Win98SE, you just need to fool the installer modifying a Registry Key. Or use the Flash switcher extension to make things easy.

Thank you, just copied it! I wasn't aware that Adobe still updates the old versions, so don't think I would have noticed that soon.

As for Flash10, I had tried it at some point and also read a few tricks, but when it didn't work, dropped it again. Could have fiddled and may still do that some day, but oh well, for the moment no urge and no energy ;-)

I was specially talking about flash, because I don't really appreciate it, but it's often necessary to be able to browse some websites.
And I was hoping there is a solution to call this plugin I have installed for Firefox Linux, but directly from K-Meleon, not to have to install windows version plugin.

For music, and a great number of file extensions, I have made a tool called by mimetype mechanism, which keep the type (extension based, in fact) and send it automatically to the linux wanted program.
No need to add macros and context menu entries, when a new type is needed, just a modification of an inifile, and that's ok.

latest flash plugin 10 (10.0.42.34) has been uploaded to media plugins page..also the flash switcher extension has been updated with the latest flash.. as always the flash 10 dll has been patched to save the videos tmp files inside your temp folder instead of deleting them. the patch is courtesy of andy robinson from ferretsoft
