I've installed, reinstalled, deinstalled rebuit and reinstalled again www/nspluginwrapper and www/linux-c6-flashplugin11 on an amd64 laptop. I followed the handbook explicitly, checked and re-checked. It just does not work. I've had this problem since the beginning of 2015, It did work before. I cannot understand what's going on. Currently this is on 10.2-PRERELEASE #35 r284676, with: # pkg info -xo flash nsplug firef linux-c6-flashplugin-11.2r202.466 www/linux-c6-flashplugin11 nspluginwrapper-1.4.4_4 www/nspluginwrapper firefox-38.0.6,1 www/firefox # firefox about:plugins shows: OpenH264 Video Codec provided by Cisco Systems, Inc.

www/swfdec-plugin is installed. You should remove one of them.
ok, removed. Anyway, the problem existed before I installed the second plugin. I only installed it in desperation. flash still does not work - just a black screen. about:plugins shows OpenH264 Video Codec provided by Cisco Systems, Inc.

some more weirdness - if I remove ~/.mozilla/plugins/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so then I get get youtube.com to work. about:plugins shows then OpenH264 Video Codec provided by Cisco Systems, Inc.

I'm desparing... I've another amd64 laptop running 10.1-STABLE #56 r280350: Sun Mar 22 where flash does work! However on this laptop running 10.2-PRERELEASE #35 r284676: Sun Jun 21 flash does not work! Both laptops have: pkg info -xo flash nsplug linux-c6-flashplugin-11.2r202.491 www/linux-c6-flashplugin11 nspluginwrapper-1.4.4_4 www/nspluginwrapper firefox-39.0,1 Both laptops give identical information from "about:plugins" Both laptops return: nspluginwrapper -l /home/mexas/.mozilla/plugins/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so Original plugin: /usr/local/lib/browser_plugins/symlinks/linux-firefox/libflashplayer.so Plugin viewer: /usr/local/lib/nspluginwrapper/i386/linux/npviewer Wrapper version string: 1.4.4-1 Both laptops have the ports trees at r392509. I deinstalled/reinstalled both ports many times on both boxes - no difference - works on one, does not work on the other. pkg info -xl shows the same files installed by the two ports above on both laptops. I just can't see any difference between the setups, except the OS version. I'm reluctant to update the working laptop to 10.2-prerelease in case I loose flash there too. Please give me a hint - what else might be involved in my problem - ports? libraries?
(In reply to mexas from comment #4) I can only assume there is a misconfiguration, e.g., "sysctl compat.linux.osrelease", linprocfs(5), linsysfs(5), etc. or GPU acceleration is causing trouble.
10.2-PRERELEASE is gone. nspluginwrapper works as far I know on all RELEASE versions. I think this could be closed.
