Are you using 64-bit or 32-bit? If 64, you need to emerge
nspluginwrapper & set up the flash player plugin (if it doesn't do it
automatically as part of the emerge)

And I will add that I believe the reason Opera works is because it
ships with its own plug-in wrapper.

Hmm I remerged nspluginwrapper and FF plays flash fine now, but
Konqueror will still complain about missing plugin.  :-(

"Cannot play media.You do not have the correct version of the flash
player. Download the correct version"

I went into settings and clicked on Scan for new Plugins, but no
success.  Can you play this link with Konq?

I'm not a Konqueror user and I'm not at home now so I can't try it,
but it looks like you might need an additional package for Konqueror:
kde-base/nsplugins

That page works just fine for me on 64-bit konqueror-4.4.4 with adobe-
flash-10.1.53.64 but I don't see any flash on it

I have nsplugins installed and manually performed the nspluginwrapper config 
actions to enable the 32-bit flash plugin

Do I need to do that?  Won't Konq work with 64bit flash?

I have reinstalled kde-base/nsplugins but Konqueror will still not play.

I have kde-base/nsplugins installed and my results are exactly the 
same as Mick's

And again, I had already written an answer to your last posting, but then 
my dreaded mouse problem in KDE4 happened again, and I forgot to save the 
mail as draft before logging out and in again.

Flash sometimes works with konqueror, sometimes not. Youtube videos play, 
and then just stop after a while.

Sometmies I see an empty space, sometimes I see that black youtube 
background with the white circles starting to circle around, then it 
freezes. On one try I saw the first frames of the video, then it stopped.

Current flash is 32bit only, Adobe did not release a 64bit version. I hope 
it will come, but I doubt it.
The former flash version was working fine in all browsers, but it has HUGE 
security problems, so better don't use it.

I had to add /usr/lib64/nsbrowser/plugins , then the Scan button found the 
plugins.

There is NO 64 bit flash in the latest packages, confirmed in the ebuild.

You need nspluginwrapper installed and configured. It will find all your 32-
bit plugins and do the necessary to make Konqueror aware of them. This doesn't 
happen automatically, every time you update a plugin the config is broken and 
has to be redone.

This shows how long its been since I had to look into/do anything about this.

I've done what Alex suggested which was to add
/usr/lib64/nsbrowser/plugins in the Konqueror plugins and then the
Scan button found a load of them in there including flash.

It plays flash fine now!

Thank you all.  :-)
