Rob,

Thanks. That's good news. Two weeks ago I tried its predecessor,
(flashplayer_square_p1_64bit_linux_091510.tar.gz) and it was an utter
failure.

I have been using RPMS built upon
http://rpm.greysector.net/specs/flash-plugin.spec released by Dominik
Mierzejewski for a long time and they always worked great, including
flash-plugin-10.2.161.22 which corresponds to tarball
flashplayer_square_p1_64bit_linux_091510.tar.gz (F12, F13, F14).

Rob,

I had problems with this release as well until I found and renamed
several nswrapper_XX_XX.libflashplayer.so files to so.save and restarted
Firefox.

I believe a more appropriate alternative location for libflashplayer.so
for all users would be in:
/usr/lib/flash-plugin/

Then make soft-links to that file in:
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/
/usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/

This seems to be working well.

I think you could just edit /etc/sysconfig/nspluginwrapper , adding
:libflashplayer* to IGNORE_WRAP

Cheers

Ahhh. That's how it's done. Thanks, Guido.

I actually had issues with flash-plugin until I removed nspluginwrapper,
both 32 and 64bit versions.

Since Firefox 3.6.4 it features its own "native" variant of nspluginwrapper
called OOPP (Out Of Process Plugins).

Unaware how well SELinux handles the protection via nspluginwrapper, OOPP, how
it is setup when both nspluginwrapper and OOPP are active etc.

OOPP only works for a selected list of plugins, nspluginwrapper isn't
one of them, with the result that they don't conflict at all.

By default both OOPP and nspluginwrapper apply to flash-plugin, don't they?
It was the primary reason for creating both.

Anyway going away as not using the flash-plugin.

Tried it. Sound is all messed up. Reverted to wrapped 32-bit plugin and
all is well.
