YouTube complains 'You need to upgrade your Adobe Flash Player to watch this video.'

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Yep, buggy for me too. Webapps in it's current implementation sucks. Bad move for an LTS folks.

Oxide is adding support for pepper plugins, should be available shortly

I have the same problem

Affected too. I am using Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.

@renebarbosa: There's a "Me too!" button (or rather, a button styled as a link for some reason) as the top of the page. 14.04 has already been mentioned as being affected.

Yup I have clicked it! Thank you.

this bug affected too in youtube or unity-webapps-facebookmessenger 2.4.16+14.04.20140217-0ubuntu1. anyone has any solution to repect? thank you

The problem is due to the absenc of Flash support in the current container.
14.10 should see a Flash compatible containre (works in a branch right
now), which will be SRU ed to 14.04.

If I click on a video, I just get a black window with the message 'Video not available'...

To fix the issue, the feature branch tracked by https://bugs.launchpad.net/oxide/+bug/1326113 needs to land.

This bug 1326113 is now tracked as "Fix released" and I don't see the message "You need to upgrade your Adobe Flash Player to watch this video." in my WebApps.

I'm using Ubuntu 14.04: now I can play videos on webbrowser-app WebApps (I use G+, FacebookMessenger and YouTube), so I think this bug-report can be marked as "Fix Released" on 14.04 (or Invalid?)

I have the problem with Chromium on Ubuntu 16.04 GNOME; Firefox works fine. I uninstalled and re-installed adobe-flashplugin and pepperflashplugin-nonfree but the problem continues.

#1326113 is about Flash support in Oxide/Webapp container.

If you install adobe-flashplugin you should have flash support in Chromium, it works on 15.04. I'll have to check for 16.04.

You should only use adobe-flashplugin, as it is the maintained version.

See, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Chromium/Getting-Partner-Flash, for help with installing flash.

Ubuntu Software Center is no longer available in Ubuntu 16.04 and the new 'Software' does not know adobe-flashplugin.

If you have chrome installed in /opt/google/chrome, it should use the pepper flash plugin from chrome. (the official stable chrome installs here)
