Feeding the command I have given to the terminal is enough to install Flash and make it work
in Linux. Upon running it, open (or restart) Pale Moon, and it will recognise the plug-in automatically; you can check this in the add-ons menu. No further action is needed.
I cannot promise that this command would act as intended, or even predict how it would act,
in OpenBSD. There
might be some tutorial online on how to run Linux software in some Wine equivalent for OpenBSD 6+, but I cannot direct you to one. Anything I find would be
something that looks half relevant I had found with Mojeek about which I would know nothing; you could search, and interpret the results, better than I could.

Palemoon 32.0.0 64bits
NixOS 23.05
I installed the clean flash linux plugin on both
Code: Select all
~/.mozilla/plugins
~/.moonchild\ productions/pale\ moon/10hy5370.default/plugins
and even tried setting MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH but none of those attempts worked. Flash doesn't play
EDIT: just checked pluginreg.dat

Invalid? Why?

I'm running an Arch-based distro (EndeavourOS) and
@job's solution works fine for me. My copy of the Flash Player plugin comes from
AUR though.

I'm not entirely sure, but I think Pale Moon is detecting the wrong flash plugin binary? The one I installed from AUR was stored at
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so. Try removing the copy of the flash player plugin from your home directory and check if it works.
These are the contents of my
pluginreg.dat:

I've found help at videolan.org.
On my OpenBSD box, I installed the package vlc-3.0.17.3p0.
I built 'npapi-vlc' from
https://code.videolan.org/videolan/npap ... tree/3.0.x.
Then I put libvlcplugin.so in the directory ~/.mozilla/plugins.
Now, I can open and watch a sample .flv file.
It's working fine.
I can connect to my video security system, I can see the controller GUI,
but the 'Live View' window is blank, no video from the cameras.
It seems that there's a problem with the Flash Video streaming.
Anyone have any suggestion?
For the video security system, I'm using 'Lorex DDNS Service'
which requires Flash Player.
Lorex support do not want to provide any technical specifications.
Is there a test Flash Video Streaming web site I can use?
Thanks.

I would have suggested Club Penguin Rewritten, but i have found out that the wharf rat had shut it down last year. Should someone else have created a private
Club Penguin server, one could try that. I know none online.
