>> | !///SWFAnts #ADMIN# 25nov2020(we)22:12 No.81365 SWF P2Ruffle has been added as a playback alternative in the archive. It's not an option here on the board. The archive's MIME type of swf files has been changed from "application/x-shockwave-flash" to "application/octet-stream". This causes browsers to treat the flash as a binary instead of trying to display it in fullscreen inside the browser. The change was made so that people that want to view the flash in their local flash player just need to "open" it in the default program when prompted. The MIME type here on the board is still the original value. Browsers that are unable to play flash will likely just always prompt the swf for download regardless. |

>> | Anonymous 26nov2020(th)21:00 No.81390 B P4R2>>81364 Must say I am happy to state that I will be one of the people who go the [HARD] way and stay with flash after the fact. Not too big of a fan of ruffle, but I must say Ants, this is probably the best implementation of it I have seen yet. Nothing impacted my experience of the site, but a lot of people will still be able to view some flashes, even if they are too lazy to even use the projector. I think the auto promt to download is a nice touch too, saves yourself a right click to save the file everytime.Also I think it's a good idea to stay clear from ruffle on the board. There is really no need, anybody who actively wants to participate in that community is or shoud really look into using flash after 2021. Also it's really just a way of uploading files into the archive and: a) you can still do that even if you cannot open them afterwards and b) someone who can't into using flash will most likely not be interested in handling or uploading actual swf files Happy thanksgiving to all those actual PC flash users out there. >>81386 win10? Afraid there's no easy way, bra. You might wanna meddle into your system to prevent updates alltogether, but that might not be such a secure solution. For chrome I am sure there would be a setting in the config that turn on or off auto updates. |

>> | Anonymous 27nov2020(fr)15:04 No.81414 C P6>>81386 ah, windows 10, you will also need to block microsoft's IP address ranges after turning off updates.for google and microsoft IP address ranges you can either find them live in TaskManager>Performance tab> resource monitor>network tab. microsoft's IP addresses will show up when you try to search for new windows updates. google's will show up if you set your default startup page in chrome to "about:blank" and open chrome. literally just block any IP's that pop up in resource monitor at that point. you may need to block the IP addresses by range. for a list of ranges you can search Googl IP address ranges in duckduckgo.com and get articles which give you a good selection of ranges to start with. |

I also love your opposition to censorship of any type of content. All in all im a big fan. Thanks for keeping things in their original .swf format too. |

>> | Anonymous 2jan2021(sa)19:24 No.82328 B P10R6>>82318 Anon is linking to a post discussing this method: http://cache.tehsausage.com/flash/defuse.txtIt's a hex edit that changes the date the plugin checks against for the shutdown (forced AllowList on the 12th) from that day to NaN (or infinity), so the check basically always returns false and the plugin is unbricked. It will force you to edit the signed .exe which will at the very least make all anti-virus applications cry wolf and maybe get blocked by your browser. I'm wondering about the effectiveness and viability of this. As long as the AllowList is easy to use, I'll probably stick to it, but there are already bugs and this seems like a simple trick to keep the flash plugin with no strings attached. |

>> | Anonymous 2jan2021(sa)20:12 No.82332 F P11R7>>82328 Definitely the simplest way, if it works. Need to make it a retard-proof batch script or exe and spread it around as the definitive fix. |

I was using a standalone palemoon browser on a different network folder and it still didn't load until I specifically put a mms.cfg in the 32-bit system folder. |

>> | !///SWFAnts #ADMIN# 16jan2021(sa)17:51 No.82953 SWF P24R18>>82952 I've not tested setting up mms.cfg for Chrome myself but according to page 36 of the PDF available at https://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles /flash_player_admin_guide.html the file should be placed here:C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\U ser Data\Default\Pepper Data\Shock-wave Flash\System\mms.cfg >Note: Google Chrome supports the ability for each user on the system to create multiple user Profiles within Google Chrome. Each Profile has a separate instance of browser data and config files, including Flash Player data. To modify behavior across each Profile and user on the system using mms.cfg, an mms.cfg would need to be placed in each relevant folder. The primary profile on the system is named "Default", and subsequent profiles are enumerated with the name "Profile <n>". >The System directory may not exist. If not, create it manually. It also says this on page 37: >NOTE: Update related directives for Adobe Flash Player are not honored by Google Chrome. Google distributes Flash Player as a component of Chrome, via the Chrome automatic update mechanism. Administrators must use Chrome's administrative controls to modify the behavior of the Chrome updater. So it seems like Chrome could decide to remove flash regardless of what mms.cfg says in terms of disabling auto-updates. I recommend everybody to move away from Chrome and help reducing Google/Alphabet's power over the internet just a little bit. The current Firefox version (84.0.2) can still make use of the NPAPI flash plugin, once that stops working I will switch to Firefox ESR and check if that still works. Once that stops working I'll see where to go next, I'm leaning towards Waterfox being the best option though I'm not convinced it is being updated frequently enough to respond to urgent security fixes. But there's always the argument that if it gets an influx of users it will also get more developers interested in the project. |

You still install flash using Adobe's official installers and then you replace the plugins manually. Check the readme.txt for more info. The text file also has SHA-256 hashes of the fixed files as well as Adobe's official files, if you wish to download stuff from elsewhere and verify that it's the same files. |
