  1. You just need to remove the totem browser plugin:

    sudo apt-get purge totem-mozilla

    And you should try to install Flash Player from Software Center (or try installing flashplugin-installer)

  2. Do you installed flashplugin-nonfree if not, run:

    sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree

    EPIPHANY or Firefox, run the same flash plugin in the same location.

    Install:

    sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer

  4. Installing gstreamer can help. It is working for me, running Ubuntu 20.04.

    sudo apt-get install libgstreamer1.0-0 gstreamer1.0-plugins-base gstreamer1.0-plugins-good gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly gstreamer1.0-libav gstreamer1.0-doc gstreamer1.0-tools gstreamer1.0-x gstreamer1.0-alsa gstreamer1.0-gl gstreamer1.0-gtk3 gstreamer1.0-qt5 gstreamer1.0-pulseaudio
