This tool in Mageia 5 would do much containing the distribution and facilitate user interaction to visualize sites watch videos that require Flash technology.

AFAIK we can't include this in our distro. But if you have Chrome installed then you can use freshplayerplugin for Firefox to use the Pepper flash plugin of Chrome. Not sure if Chromium is able to use it or not.

In general it's easier to download and install Chrome (there should be howto's in our forums).

Indeed, Pepper Flash is not available as a standalone thing, so it can't really be packaged.  As Sander mentioned, the best thing is to install Google Chrome which includes it (and is the only way to obtain it), which is fairly easy, is documented in our forums, and even has its own urpmi repository.  Then Pepper Flash will automatically be available in Chromium Browser, and with freshplayerplugin (which we have packaged) it is available in Firefox as well.
