I am having trouble getting Azureus to see the flash player. I have the flash player installed correctly in iceweasel. I looked at the only other thread dealing with this and they had to put the flash player plugin into seamonkey. I don't know what browser azureus is defaulting to. I tried opening it in the command prompt but I didn't see where it asked for the browser location. I tried putting the flash player in all types of locations and still the same result. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks

This was not very easy to find, but since I did I thought I'd put it here in hopes that others find more easily.

Assuming you have xulrunner installed, you have to copy or link your /usr/lib/iceweasel/plugins/libflashplayer.so to /usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9/plugins folder. Adjust for whatever version you have, or you may be able to get it work with a /usr/lib/xulrunner/plugins folder.

So even with firefox 3 installed, and having pointed to firefox 3 in the options, I had to do this to get the vuze UI to not show the "get flash player" message.

Thanks for the reply. It turns out that two weeks after this e-mail there was an update to Vuze. I installed it and everything started working normally.

Hi FireFerum, I've also installed the newest version of Vuze on Debian, but I couldn't manage to get flash working.
How you solved your problem?

Thanks

Hi hgabreu

the following are based of applying this fix on a Fedora system (been a while since i have used Debian so cannot guarantee that everything is the same)

updatedb
locate xulrunner

you should get back something like /usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9/******

cd /usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9/plugins

locate libflashplayer.so

you should get something like

/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so

create a soft link

ln -s /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so

and run ll -s and you should see something like

libflashplayer.so -> /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so

restart vuze and job done

Thanks JayFitzpatrick, it worked!

The only difference is that in Debian, by default, the libflashplayer.so is on iceweasel folder (/usr/lib/iceweasel/plugin).

Thanks a lot ;)
