Detecting missing plugins

[dreijer]

I know CefRequestHandler::OnBeforePluginLoad exists, but is there a callback that tells me when a certain plugin fails to load? For instance, I'd like to show an informative message to the user if Flash isn't installed on his machine and the current webpage requires it.

We don't currently have a notification for this. If the web content handles missing flash correctly (by providing a "download flash" link, for example) then you could intercept the download link request and handle it differently in your application. You could also use JavaScript to scan the page contents to see if a Flash object is embedded.

Right, I'll probably go the JavaScript route. Thanks.
