Flash not working in Chrome [Solved]

[P4-630]

Just wanted to test my speed again, getting:

Flash is enabled and I already reinstalled Chrome which gave me the same result trying to load this page....

Tried reinstalling chrome but the file "pepflashplayer.dll" to enable flash is missing, I can't find it on my system.

speedtest.net works fine in IE just not in Chrome atm for some reason.
Thanks for the link though.

any blockers? flash might need to be allowed for that page.

I just ran it in FF with Adblocker running, and it loaded fine.
It might be specific to Chrome.

Ok, just tried it without adblocker, same result.

Use beta, it doesn't require any sort of flash

It does require adblock disabled for it to work though...

Just tried the beta with uBlock enabled and it worked.

EDIT: To fix your plugin issue try this: Type chrome://components in the address bar and update Adobe Flash Player.

Works fine for me

Chrome Version 54.0.2840.59 m
Adblock enabled
Ghostery enabled
Adobe Flash Player- Version: 23.0.0.185

Works fine for me

Chrome Version 54.0.2840.59 m
Adblock enabled
Ghostery enabled
Adobe Flash Player- Version: 23.0.0.185

I'm using Version 54.0.2840.59 m (64-bit)
Adblockplus enabled
Adobe Flash Player- Version: 23.0.0.185 enabled

Weird.. I never had any problems with it before...

I will test it tonight. If I recall correctly it worked for me fine not too long ago in chrome with ublock orgin installed.

Edit: Just tried it, and it works just fine.
Chrome Version 54.0.2840.59 m (64-bit)
Ublock Orgin Enabled.

Ok, I found out, even after a reinstall, I'm missing the file "pepflashplayer.dll", It's nowhere to be found on my system.

@Devon68 since you are using the same version as me, could you attach the file "pepflashplayer.dll" in a post here?
I think it might work after that.

Use
Testmy.net

St.net is trash

Thanks for that, but Flash isn't working at all, not only at speedtest.net.
I'm trying to fix it.

I don't use Chrome, but try the whole chain : Flashplayer reinstall, Shockwave player, Java, Silverlight ? (if you have it ). What other plug in you have ? : Ghostery ?
Update on video drivers recently ? Chrome reinstall ?

Yeah I've tried a reinstall of chrome which didn't solve the problem.
Not sure when it happened exactly, I just used speedtest.net before and never had a problem, I think it stopped working after an update from chrome (I think).

Chrome does the flashplayer updating itself, If I go to adobe, it says that flashplayer is already installed and that it's getting updated when there is a newer version of chrome.

I just see that I mis the file that can play Flash, the file "pepflashplayer.dll", I don't have it anymore for some reason.

I always download Flash (offline installer or on line installer) as well -Skype use it and other browsers I use too.

I don't think you can do that with Chrome.

Didn't chrome disable flash entirely recently? If not they are going to do so soon.

Yeah I know that, but at the time it should be still working.
It's still there when I look at my chrome://plugins page, it shows the location of the file but the actual file isn't there for some reason.

Did you try the standalone installer?

Yeah already tried that, a reinstall didn't bring flash back.

Go to %userprofile%\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\PepperFlash and delete the folder 23.0.0.185, open Chrome go to chrome://components and click update Adobe Flash Player.
