Hi

The Flash Player that comes with Google-Chrome has become more noisy 
with newer versions of Google-Chrome.

In the beginning Flash just displayed the video.

Then it displayed the start symbol that you had to click in order for 
the video to start.

Now it displays a puzzle piece with the message to right click the 
puzzle piece and then select "Run the plug-in".

That works generally but it fails with NBC News pages. "Right-click to 
run Adobe Flash Player" appears overlayed by a rotating circle segment. 
but right-click never shows ythe option to run the plug-in.

Can anyone verify this and what is to be done?

Hugo

Hey, come on! You've installed a 3rd party package and you're
asking on this list why it doesn't work? 

That's a rhetorical question BTW.

... and you're running Sid?

At the least you should have marked this post [OT]
in the subject.

This is the safe way to browse the web.  The flash plugin is apparently disabled
by default.  What you can do is make an exception for nbc.  Go into
settings/advanced and click on the button for "Content settings".  Scroll down
to Flash. Click on "Manage exceptions" and enter "[*.]nbc.com" without the
quotes.  Make sure Allow is set and hit the enter key.  This makes an exception
for all of nbc so that things are displayed correctly.  You should also check
that you don't ad/malware blocking extensions installed that might block content
on nbc.  If so make sure nbc is white listed there also.

Flash was blocked on all sites.

I got similar behavour at www.nbcnews.com, if that's the site you're
refering to.  You didn't specify.  The following may not work for you:
I'm using Wheezy 64-bit with the last version of Chrome (49.0.2623.112)
and pepperflash (22.0.0.209) Google released last year sometime.
Chrome is no longer supported on Wheezy.

Go to Settings -> Advanced Settings -> Privacy (Content Settings).
Scroll down to  Plugins

Check the options.  I have mine set to "Let me choose when to run
plugin content."  Click "Manage Exceptions" and add the offending web
site to the list.

This worked for me, but I've found embedded videos are sometime
problematical no matter what you do.

I should have also added the exception "[*.]nbcnews.com" as well as
"[*.]nbc.com" in the flash chrome exception list.  Sorry I missed that.
