  1. you need to install pepperflash for chromium now because it no longer accepts Netscape like plug-ins (the Firefox flash plug-in)

    sudo apt-get install pepperflashplugin-nonfree

    Restart chromium after installation for the changes to take effect.

  2. Chromium does not support flash at all anymore. If you want to use flash content, you need to use another browser like Google Chrome or Firefox. Google Chrome has flash support built in, while Firefox requires the package flashplugin-installer to be installed to work.

    Pepperflash does in my experience work sometimes, but not always.
