Hi there!
the newest version of chromium 6.0.426.0 (49004)
-Link-

works without problem with x-launcher.
news for this version is the support for WebM - new HTML5 video codec with V8 and vorbis audio codec inside.

for some reason I could not activate build in flash player - the solution for that is :
find flashplayer.xpi
downlowed and change extention to .zip
extract flashplayer.xpt and NPSWF32.dll
create folder "plugins" in \X-Chromium_6.0.397.0_build46552_rev10\Bin\Chrome
and copy extracted files there

and you can enjoy with portable browser with portable flashplayer now :]

Ciao a tutti

Hi JackL,
many thanks for your suggestion. It's very useful!!
I tried it and works properly also on my X-Chromium updated on release suggested by you.

PS: Same behaviour also on last version of X-Iron

Hi Guys!

I found the parameter that have to be executed with exe shortcut for chromium to enable build-in flashplayer, but... I do not know how to set multiple parameters in launcher (I know - it's lame)

can you suggest anything?

the tutorial is:
"to use the bundled Flash Player plug-in, add --enable-internal-flash to your command line or shortcut for starting Google Chrome"

Ciao a Tutti

Since you have already solved the portable flashplayer problem (see the first post -Link-

), I did not understand why you want to add these parameters in the launcher. However, you can insert them in the same line, in the Parameters field:


Parameters=--user-data-dir="%Profile%" --enable-internal-flash

--- edit ---

I found this. So, it seems no more necessary to include NPSWF32.dll in "X-Chromium_6.0.397.0_build46552_rev10\Bin\Chrome\plugins". But a test is needed.

The parameter doesn't work (at least for me). Maybe it works only in Chrome, and not in Chromium.

include NPSWF32.dll in "X-Chromium_6.0.397.0_build46552_rev10\Bin\Chrome\plugins".

Instead, it works.

Thanks Danix
So that could be a reason why it didn't work for me as well (I have tried several options to include multiple parameters)
ok - I will follow that and in case I would find something interesting, I'll let you know

Chromium hasn't got built in flash - instead you could download a version of Chrome (in this case 437.3) - just go to -Link-

download the package, open it using 7-zip, and extract the content.

Works with the Chromium launcher.

edit: you should enhance the launcher .ini with the following lines, in order to remove stuff Flash leaves behind on the HD.


[RunAfter]

FileDelete=%Profile%\Default\Cache\*.*

DirRemove=$LocalAppData$\Google

DirRemove=@AppDataDir@\Adobe

DirRemove=@AppDataDir@\Macromedia

Hi Gibdemaffen,
DirRemove=$LocalAppData$\Google is not a good idea if you have any other googles products e.g picasa - I had to scan and tagg again all my collection
