Taken, sucessfully, from http://mikearthur.co.uk/2007/12/konqueror-with-latest-adobe-flash-howto/ ==== KMPlayer is my media player of choice as it allows you to trivially switch between XINE, MPlayer and GStreamer backends and, as of version 0.10.0, has a nifty backend that allows you to use XEmbed-supporting plugins, including Adobe’s Flash plugin, which can then be embedded in Konqueror to allow Flash to work trivially. HOWTO: Install KMPlayer. It is included in all the major distributions I’ve ever used. Ensure it is installed/compiled with the “NPP” backend enabled which allows the playback of Netscape XEmbed plugins Run KMPlayer so it creates its config file. Close it. (This step probably isn’t necessary but it won’t do any harm) Open “~/.kde/share/config/kmplayerrc” in a text editor of your choice. Add the following to the end of the file: [application/x-shockwave-flash] player=npp plugin=/opt/netscape/plugins/libflashplayer.so Change the “plugin=” line depending on where the Adobe Flash plugin was installed on your distribution. The above example is where it is installed on Gentoo. (If people could reply with the location of it on their distribution that would be great, thanks!). 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 restart KDE or run “kbuildsycoca” from a terminal. Close all the opened windows. Enjoy a working Flash in Konqueror! === As at least one of the commenters from the blog, I didn't habe an application/x-shockwave-flash association, so had to create it. -- Mike Williams -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
