Description katnatek 2017-05-04 01:49:38 CEST

Description of problem:

Some online sites player don't work well or even don't load with freshplayerplugin + ppapi flash.

Maybe is a issue related to my old PC but with the adobe's npapi version the sites works


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://hdfull.tv (is recommendable use ublock origin with anti-adblocker list + greasemonkey )
2. Select what ever
3. Select powvideo or streamtoplay options (the openload works maybe is html5 player)
4. possible you get audio but no video (powvideo) or the player don't load (streamtoplay)

I test the suggestions of the developer https://github.com/i-rinat/freshplayerplugin/blob/master/doc/known-issues.md , without good results
Reconsider repackage npapi flash plugin as long ppapi don't works for all of us.

There are also things that don't and never will work with the NPAPI Flash because upstream has disabled them.  Each one has its advantages and disadvantages.  I'm sorry this one site doesn't seem to work for you.  Packaging and maintaining both ourselves wouldn't be a good situation either, so we made what we feel is the best choice overall.  The only thing that would be perfect is Flash disappearing from the internet altogether.
