Am running Kubuntu Hardy, and it’s not working for me, despite having followed instructions and even though I do get Ice Ape as one of the options in configuring KMplayer.

Not sure what’s wrong. I wondered whether something else might be interfering since I have (over the years/months) tried a few different ways of getting flash working in Konqueror ….

You’re a genius !
Thank you, your tip saved my day.

(Worked on openSUSE11.1-Konqueror4.1-Flash10, all 64bit).

Yay this fixes the problems Flash has been giving me for a while now. I have KDE 4.2.00 and running Arch x86_64. A lot of sites the Flash Plugin would load but it would just show blank, now it works perfect

@simon: suprisingly, these instructions don’t need to be modified to work on 4.2, even though they were written for 3.5 All I needed to change was the path to libflashplayer.so

I followed instructions configured flash plugin using kmplayer. But it does not seem to work with KDE-4.2 (4.1.96). Is there any tweak or patch needed to make kmplayer working with 4.2?

I compiled kmplayer from source.

Works great with kde4.1.3.
The only downside is that Flash movies that use SSL connections don’t work. At least not for sites with self-signed certificates.
Firefox pops-up the ‘do you accept’ question, where Konqueror doesn’t and fails the connection.

In reply to Erik’s comment on 4 October…

You don’t need nspluginwrapper if you put a 32-bit knpplayer in your PATH ahead of the 64-bit one.

I have Flash 10.0.12.36 working in Konqueror 4.1.2 with only KMPlayer 0.11.0_rc4 installed but no nspluginwrapper. Search rpmfind.net for knpplayer, extract the knpplayer binary out of one of the i586 RPMs, and put it in /usr/local/bin, assuming /usr/local/bin is before ${KDEDIR}/bin on your ${PATH}.

It worked fine in Slackware 12.1.
Thanks for the nice tutorial.

A note to all 64-bit users: kmplayer method works for me with konqueror-4.1.2, netscape-flash-9.0.124.0, kmplayer-0.11.0_rc4 and nspluginwrapper-1.0.0. You have to do “nspluginwrapper -v -a -i” first and use npwrapper.libflashplayer.so (in my case it was /usr/lib64/nsbrowser/plugins/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so).
Don’t know if the above works for kde 3.5 with 0.10.0 kmplayer though.
