Works great with kde4.1.3.
The only downside is that Flash movies that use SSL connections don’t work. At least not for sites with self-signed certificates.
Firefox pops-up the ‘do you accept’ question, where Konqueror doesn’t and fails the connection.

In reply to Erik’s comment on 4 October…

You don’t need nspluginwrapper if you put a 32-bit knpplayer in your PATH ahead of the 64-bit one.

I have Flash 10.0.12.36 working in Konqueror 4.1.2 with only KMPlayer 0.11.0_rc4 installed but no nspluginwrapper. Search rpmfind.net for knpplayer, extract the knpplayer binary out of one of the i586 RPMs, and put it in /usr/local/bin, assuming /usr/local/bin is before ${KDEDIR}/bin on your ${PATH}.

It worked fine in Slackware 12.1.
Thanks for the nice tutorial.

A note to all 64-bit users: kmplayer method works for me with konqueror-4.1.2, netscape-flash-9.0.124.0, kmplayer-0.11.0_rc4 and nspluginwrapper-1.0.0. You have to do “nspluginwrapper -v -a -i” first and use npwrapper.libflashplayer.so (in my case it was /usr/lib64/nsbrowser/plugins/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so).
Don’t know if the above works for kde 3.5 with 0.10.0 kmplayer though.

If I switch to console, I get followings:

entering gtk_main
windowCreatedEvent
windowCreatedEvent 0×8079cc8
using service org.kde.kmplayer.npplayer-14129 was ‘:1.20′
call /npplayer11.running()
dbusFilter :1.2 org.kde.kmplayer.backend
quit

That’s wierd… I have got media-video/kmplayer-0.10.0c with “arts cairo gstreamer mplayer npp xine” flags enabled, kde-3.5.9, net-www/netscape-flash-9.0.124.0. I do have Ice Ape in “Play with” menue, but I get nothing but a blanc embedded screen. Flash in Firefox works, however.

I am using Kubuntu Hardy. When I open the webpage with flash (e.g.youtube) , I get an embedded kmplayer window which won’t play the file. I can choose “play with “Iceape”" from the menu, but to no effect. Has anyone been able to get flash through KMP on Hardy? How?

Thanks!

Thanks for a great Howto. Konqueror truly rocks!

Unfortunately some flash on some websites still doesn’t work. Playing flash on last.fm for example.

Thanks man, finally my Debian Etch desktops (with and without etch-backports) have flash again!
