# Using Pepper Flash Plugin
|
|
|
|
Pepper flash plugin is now supported. To use pepper flash plugin in Electron, you should manually specify the location of pepper flash plugin and then enable it in your application.
|
|
|
|
## Prepare a copy of flash plugin
|
|
|
|
On OS X and Linux, the detail of pepper flash plugin can be found by navigating `chrome://plugins` in Chrome browser. Its location and version are useful for electron's pepper flash support. You can also copy it to anywhere else.
|
|
|
|
## Add Electron switch
|
|
|
|
You can directly add `--ppapi-flash-path` and `ppapi-flash-version` to electron commandline or by `app.commandLine.appendSwitch` method before app ready event. Also, add the `plugins` switch of `browser-window`. For example,
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
var app = require('app');
|
|
var BrowserWindow = require('browser-window');
|
|
|
|
// Report crashes to our server.
|
|
require('crash-reporter').start();
|
|
|
|
// Keep a global reference of the window object, if you don't, the window will
|
|
// be closed automatically when the javascript object is GCed.
|
|
var mainWindow = null;
|
|
|
|
// Quit when all windows are closed.
|
|
app.on('window-all-closed', function() {
|
|
if (process.platform != 'darwin') {
|
|
app.quit();
|
|
}
|
|
});
|
|
|
|
// Specify flash path.
|
|
// On Windows, it might be /path/to/pepflashplayer.dll
|
|
// On Mac, /path/to/PepperFlashPlayer.plugin
|
|
// On Linux, /path/to/libpepflashplayer.so
|
|
app.commandLine.appendSwitch('ppapi-flash-path', '/path/to/libpepflashplayer.so');
|
|
|
|
// Specify flash version, for example, v17.0.0.169
|
|
app.commandLine.appendSwitch('ppapi-flash-version', '17.0.0.169');
|
|
|
|
app.on('ready', function() {
|
|
mainWindow = new BrowserWindow({
|
|
'width': 800,
|
|
'height': 600,
|
|
'web-preferences': {
|
|
'plugins': true
|
|
}
|
|
});
|
|
mainWindow.loadUrl('file://' + __dirname + '/index.html');
|
|
// Something else
|
|
});
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Enable flash plugin in a `<webview>` tag
|
|
Add `plugins` attribute to `<webview>` tag.
|
|
```html
|
|
<webview src="http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/" plugins></webview>
|
|
```
