I recently used Chromium with its up-to-date flash plugin (pepper) to play videos since the standard flashplayer (11.2) in Firefox kept crashing. I was tired of that, searched, and found that the settings of the flash plugin are defined in [/etc/adobe/mms.cfg](http://r3dux.org/2011/12/how-to-partially-workaround-adobe-flash-plugin-issues-on-linux/ "/etc/adobe/mms.cfg"). I tested all permutations for these two critical options, and found that OverrideGPUValidation=1 EnableLinuxHWVideoDecode=1 works just as well as the opposite, i.e., both options set to zero. In contrast, 0/1 and 1/0 both crash the plugin. Do I need to understand that? No. It only demonstrates that it's high time to get rid of flash. In the office, where I rarely watch videos 😉 , flash is already adequately substituted by [shumway](http://mozilla.github.io/shumway/ "shumway").
