Here are three ways to use Adobe Flash.

Install {{port|www/linux-c6-flashplugin11}} through ports, since at times the repository package may be outdated:
# pkg_add -r nspluginwrapper

  # cd /usr/ports/www/linux-c6-flashplugin11; make install clean
Or with options:
+
  # cd /usr/ports/*/nspluginwrapper;make install clean

Next install flashplugin11

This should install other linux-c6 dependencies, including {{port|www/nspluginwrapper}}. Follow the directions at the end of installing the programs, most of which will be repeated below in the configuration sections.

===How to update to the latest version of Flash===
+
===/etc/===
The Linux library file from Adobe can be downloaded and emulated to update an outdated flash player.
+
{{file|/etc/fstab}}
Download the Flash tar.gz file for Linux at https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/.
+
linproc        /compat/linux/proc    linprocfs  rw    0  0
 +
proc            /proc                procfs    rw    0  0
  
Unzip and untar the file:
+
{{file|/etc/devfs.conf}}
  # tar -xzf install_flash_player_*_linux-i386.tar.gz
+
  link /tmp shm
  
Brand ''libflashplayer.so'' as a linux file, then move it under ''/usr/local/lib/browser_plugins/'':
+
{{file|/etc/sysctl.conf}}
  # brandelf -t Linux libflashplayer.so
+
  compat.linux.osrelease=2.6.18
# mv libflashplayer.so
+
  
This setup should work with non-emulated Firefox. This generally provides video playback on most websites requiring flash player. Please see [http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/linuxemu.html FreeBSD handbook (Linux® Binary Compatibility)] for more insight.

Run the following for a library plugin to be found by Firefox:

nspluginwrapper -v -a -i

 +
nspluginwrapper -v -a -u
  
Go to Settings -> Configure Konqueror -> plugins
+
To view the loaded plugins:
 +
nspluginwrapper -l
  
Create the directory and link files
+
If this doesn't work on Firefox, all packages may need to be reinstalled cleanly.
# mkdir /usr/X11R6/lib/linux-flashplugin6
+
# cd /usr/X11R6/lib/linux-flashplugin6
+
# ln -s /usr/local/lib/npapi/linux-flashplugin/flashplayer.xpt
+
# ln -s /usr/local/lib/npapi/linux-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so
+
 
+
Now hit 'Scan for new plugins'
+
 
+
Now go and test it out.
+
 
+
===Native Firefox===
+
 
+
You will need to patch a file and compile it's all explained on this site:
+
 
+
http://www.jail.se/freebsd.html
+
 
+
===Linux Opera===
+
 
+
I've noticed that some things work better under linux-opera than any other browser on FreeBSD.  For instance the Asterisk Flash Operator Panel will only work properlly under this port and YouTube works with sound and video under opera!
+
 
+
All you should have to do is install it.  Opera will automatically use the libmap.conf file to find the flash libraries and load them.

# cd /usr/ports/www/linux-opera && make install clean

The Adobe Flash player plugin can be emulated to run on native browsers. Alternatively, the browser can also be emulated, but this method seems to lack performance.

Contents

[edit] Linux plugin emulation

Install www/linux-c6-flashplugin11 through ports, since at times the repository package may be outdated:

# cd /usr/ports/www/linux-c6-flashplugin11; make install clean

This should install other linux-c6 dependencies, including www/nspluginwrapper . Follow the directions at the end of installing the programs, most of which will be repeated below in the configuration sections.

Load Linux modules according to Linux, configuration#Loading Linux modules.

[edit] Run nspluginwrapper

Run the following for a library plugin to be found by Firefox:

nspluginwrapper -v -a -i

Or to upgrade from a previous installed Flash plugin:

nspluginwrapper -v -a -u

To view the loaded plugins:

nspluginwrapper -l

If this doesn't work on Firefox, all packages may need to be reinstalled cleanly.

[edit] Wine emulation

Full Adobe Flash 9 support can be present by using a Win32 browser and Adobe Flash 9 for Windows in WINE. This was tested with WINE 0.9.59, FreeBSD 7-Release and Firefox 2.0.0.13.

Alternatively look into installing the package emulators/pipelight , which is meant to use windows plugins, through wine emulation, in non-emulated FreeBSD browsers. (I haven't tested this set-up)
