Adobe Flash - nspluginwrapper does not work

Hi.

After upgrading to 9.0 (before was 8.2) nspluginwrapper - not want to work.
Before that everything was normal.
Help to understand the problem.

Code: 
# nspluginwrapper -v -a -i 
Auto-install plugins from /usr/local/lib/browser_plugins
Looking for plugins in /usr/local/lib/browser_plugins
Auto-install plugins from /usr/local/lib/npapi/linux-f10-flashplugin
Looking for plugins in /usr/local/lib/npapi/linux-f10-flashplugin
Auto-install plugins from /root/.mozilla/plugins
Looking for plugins in /root/.mozilla/plugins

# nspluginwrapper -v -i /usr/local/lib/npapi/linux-f10-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so
nspluginwrapper: no appropriate viewer found for /usr/local/lib/npapi/linux-f10-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so

# nspluginwrapper -l

Code: 
FreeBSD 9.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 9.0-RELEASE #0 r230983: Sun Feb  5 00:31:01 MSK 2012     :/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  amd64 amd64 GENERIC
 
Did you rebuild all your ports after the 9.0 upgrade?

Ports were updated immediately after the upgrade to 9.0. And recompiled, all dependent on the linux-f10-flashplugin.

Good, but not enough. After upgrading from one major version of the OS to another (8->9), all ports have to be rebuilt. There's a procedure at the end of the portmaster(8) man page.
 
In my case, I had to recompile about 380 ports out of 1030 installed ones after upgrade to 9-STABLE from 8.3-STABLE.

Does the file /usr/local/lib/npapi/linux-f10-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so actually exist?

Try reinstalling www/linux-f10-flashplugin10.

Code: 
ls -l /usr/local/lib/npapi/linux-f10-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  17047372 28 фев 07:57 /usr/local/lib/npapi/linux-f10-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so

reinstalling does not help
 
www/linux-f10-flashplugin11 is the latest flash - version 11 not version 10. How about deleting flash-related ports and start again? The following is the step I copied from this forum, and it still works well for me.
Code: 
# portsnap fetch update ## OR portsnap fetch extract if you use portsnap for the first time.
# echo 'linux_enable="YES"' >> /etc/rc.conf
# mkdir -p /usr/compat/linux/proc
# echo 'linproc /usr/compat/linux/proc linprocfs rw 0 0' >> /etc/fstab
# mount /usr/compat/linux/proc
# cd /usr/ports/emulators/linux_base-f10 && make install clean
# /etc/rc.d/abi start
# /etc/rc.d/sysctl start
# cd /usr/ports/www/linux-f10-flashplugin11 && make install clean
# cd /usr/ports/www/nspluginwrapper && make install clean
# exit
$ nspluginwrapper -v -a -i 
$ su
# reboot ## it should work without reboot but sometimes it's better to reboot
 
Thanks!
The lines below worked perfectly for me in PCBSD 9.2 (so they are still valid almost 2 years later).
Before, only *some* Youtube movies would play. For most videos, only some comment like "Install Adobe Flash Player" would be displayed.
I had been searching for days for a solution, and was thinking of including a Linux VM in VirtualBox, just for Youtube. (That would not be ideal).
I think the below lines would be a very valuable inclusion in the Handbook. I think PCBSD would also be helped if it can somehow get this Flash
working easier, by stuff like this.
