[EDIT]
NO LONGER NECESSARY .. instead install adobe-flashplugin which contains both pepperflash and flashplayer .. see here:https://forum.peppermintos.com/index.php/topic,4802.msg53995.html#msg53995for instructions
[END EDIT]
The following instructions are for 32bit Peppermint ONLY .. this pepperflash version will NOT work in 64bit Chromium.
If you're running 64bit Peppermint, use the instructions at the following link instead:-
https://forum.peppermintos.com/index.php/topic,4893.0.html
Open a terminal and run these commands in sequence:
sudo apt-get remove --purge pepperflashplugin-nonfree
then
sudo mkdir -p /usr/lib/adobe-pepflashplugin
then
cd /usr/lib/adobe-pepflashplugin
then
sudo wget --no-check-certificate https://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/labs/flashruntimes/flashplayer/linux32/flash_player_ppapi_linux.i386.tar.gz
then
sudo tar xvf flash_player_ppapi_linux.i386.tar.gz
then
sudo pluma /etc/chromium-browser/customizations/01-adobe-pepflashplugin
and when a BLANK file opens, make it read:-
flashso="/usr/lib/adobe-pepflashplugin/libpepflashplayer.so"
flashjson="/usr/lib/adobe-pepflashplugin/manifest.json"
CHROMIUM_FLAGS="$CHROMIUM_FLAGS --ppapi-flash-path=$flashso --ppapi-flash-version=$(grep version $flashjson | sed 's|.*"version": ||;s|"||g;s|,||')"
SAVE that file, and exit pluma.
Now close ALL running instances of Chromium .. reopen Chromium, and go to:-
chrome://pluginsit should show you're running:-

sudo rm -v /etc/chromium-browser/customizations/01-adobe-pepflashplugin
then
sudo rm -rv /usr/lib/adobe-pepflashplugin
then restart Chromium
