So how can I get rid of that annoying panel that shows up telling me flash is out of date and I need to click the "Run this time" button on every site that requires flash?

Are you guys really sure you need Flash? I have difficulty remembering when I last used it. I have a prefbar extension with a check box for Flash so it is easy to turn on or off. For a long time it has been off. HTML5 is making Flash redundant.

I need flash for listening to internet radio stations, which uses flash player for free account. Playlist files are paid on them. Only this reason.
It is interesting what these stations would do, if flash would end.

Update Flash when you see that message.

I understand that however there is often a way around it. I listen to BBC, CBC, ABC (Australia), Radio New Zealand without flash by using their streaming URLs. I use Radiotray to play them. A streaming URL looks like this:

Code: Select all

http://bbcwssc.ic.llnwd.net/stream/bbcwssc_mp1_ws-einws
It can be tricky to find these streaming URLs. If you would like some links and hints I can post them.

Thanks Steve. At the risk of reigniting an old debate, I reinstalled Stretch on Sunday and did not install any Flash player, however, having installed Chromium, Flash worked perfectly. It did not work, however, in Opera, so I installed your plugin.

As a separate issue, I'm getting HTML5 tearing in Opera, but that's not a Flash issue, I'm aware. I'll look into it though this says something about it
