No way to use Flash player on Chrome? #797

Open awaisuk opened 10 years ago

awaisuk commented 10 years ago

Hello,

I am using plugin from chrome web store. I have tried normal flash option as well as aggressive flash option, but looks like HTML5 player always loads before the flash player making the player refresh every time. So if I click on a video, it will load html5 player for a second and then it would reload the video with the flash player.

Is there no way to set flash player on google chrome?

Thanks.

Yep it's a bug, that is why i set the player as default. The only problem with HTML5 for me is that it takes almost one second to auto-pause and that is very annoying.

YouTube forces the HTML5 player for new browsers. For quick and dirty fix, change your user agent to some older browser. If you don't want to confuse all the not evil websites as well, use something like User-Agent Switcher for Chrome to change your user agent for youtube.com only. Chrome 24.0.1295.0 (Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.2; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.15 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/24.0.1295.0 Safari/537.15) is the last version of Chrome I found where HTML5 player was not used by default, so that should work (it does for me). This could easily be implemented into YouTubeCenter.
