Using Pepper Flash Plugin
Electron now supports the Pepper Flash plugin. To use the Pepper Flash plugin in Electron, you should manually specify the location of the Pepper Flash plugin and then enable it in your application.
Prepare a Copy of Flash Plugin
On OS X and Linux, the details of the Pepper Flash plugin can be found by
navigating to chrome://plugins
in the Chrome browser. Its location and version
are useful for Electron's Pepper Flash support. You can also copy it to another
location.
Add Electron Switch
You can directly add --ppapi-flash-path
and ppapi-flash-version
to the
Electron command line or by using the app.commandLine.appendSwitch
method
before the app ready event. Also, add the plugins
switch of browser-window
.
For example:
// Specify flash path.
// On Windows, it might be /path/to/pepflashplayer.dll
// On OS X, /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
});
