How to get trace output from PPAPI content debugger Flash Player

Question

I\'m using Chrome 39.0.2171.95 on Windows 8. I ran Adobe\'s uninstall_flash_player.exe. I installed the PPAPI content debugger Flash Player announced in this Adobe blog post

Answer 1

This has been driving me crazy for a week, but I finally figured it out. I'm on a Mac, and I have several Chrome User Profiles - which is a critical detail. The mm.cfg and flashlog.txt files need to be in a different directory depending on which Chrome User Profile you use.

( Note: I manually created the ".../System/..." directory for mm.cfg myself )

Location of mm.cfg file (Mac):

"/Users/%USERNAME%/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/%Profile #%/Pepper Data/Shockwave Flash/System/mm.cfg"

Location of flashlog.txt (Mac):

"/Users/%USERNAME%/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/%Profile #%/Pepper Data/Shockwave Flash/WritableRoot/Logs/flashlog.txt"

I hope that helps!
