hello,
I am really new to libreElec
this is my first post here
hope I am in the right place
I want to convert from galliumOS to libreElec
a browser and flash are a must.
Tried chromium addon version tried 8.1.106 and version 8.1.104 in libreElec 7.90.010, clean install today.
Flash is not working, is this operator error?

Chromebox

chromium: tried 8.1.106 and version 8.1.104
configure: default settings also tried turning on and off other settings-no go.
actions: ran netflix and flashplayer support
Thank you.

Did you go onto the chromium addon settings and use the supplied "install flash player" button?

I also don't get flash player to work in chromium.
My configuration:
LibreElec Version 7.0.3
Architecture Generic X86_64
I recently upgraded from openElec (where flashplayer in chromium was working).
after upgrade chromium was still available and I believe auto upgraded, but flashplayer no longer worked.
I have tried installing libpepflashplayer.so from chromium configuration, action tab. installation succeeded was reported.
I also tried uninstalling chromium, reinstalling chromium and again installing the pepflashplayer. This didn't work as well, however after this action still all my bookmarks were in place in chromium so I doubt the uninstall was very thorough.

Suggestions? Let me know if I could provide additional info.

I had the same problem. I solved it this way:
1) Download flash_player_ppapi_linux.x86_64.tar.gz
2) Unzip the file libpepflashplayer.so
3) The Copy libpepflashplayer.so to /storage/.kodi/addons/browser.chromium/bin/PepperFlash/
