this scripts installs: Flash, PDF, for some Chromium OS builds. (confirmed on Vanilla build 3389 Built on 12th December 2012!) Carputers confirmed that it also works on ArnoldTheBat's Cx86OS-20130423010101 build!
Sadly enough the Hangouts stopped working! i don't know about Netflix, since i can't test it. and since ~4-08-2013 MP3/Mp4 stopped working?
if you want to use this script on ArnoldTheBat's Chromium OS build, keep in mind that he uses the password: "password" instead of "facepunch". (without the quotes ;))
all credits go to dz0ny, his script can be found here: https://gist.github.com/3065781 but this script didn't work for me and some more people. so i tried to do what his script did, but a little different. And also a big thanks to Jamison Lofthouse and Steve Pirk, as they got the Google Hangout plugin to work.
in the latest builds, Python is included again! this makes Dz0ny's script work again, if bandwith and time isn't a concern, please use his script!
because bandwith is a concern for some people (i guesss no-one using Chromium Os will face that problem though;), i kept this package as small as possible. (it'll probably also be a little bit faster, but i haven't compared the scripts)
If anyone knows how to install more stuff or got anything to ask, you can contact me at: [email protected] I would still like to add Java so if you've got this working please contact me.
how to install?

enter the following command: mount -o remount, r /

Thanks to Arnold The Bat, some touchpad's that aren't working with a default setup can now be fixed! he also got a broadcom wifi card working! go to his page (http://arnoldthebat.co.uk/) to find out how to set it up. zhaostu made a script that can automaticaly detect and set-up your touchpad, you can find it here: https://gist.github.com/zhaostu/4552236
Okay, so I didn't notice the new script
I got flash and HTML5 video working on my x64 install
The key is that
libffmpegsamo.soneeds to me from almost the same build of Chrome. I used Chrome Dev 44.0.x 64bit for Debian. Download it on Windows (Hint, when you're on the Chrome Dev Linux download page, add&standalone=1to the URL...not sure if it's needed, but it was when I pilled the dlls for Node-Webkit back a few months ago.7zip is capable opening the data.tar, and you need most of the opt folder.
data.tar/./opt/google/chrome-unstable/PepperFlash/ -> /opt/google/chrome/pepper/data.tar/./opt/google/chrome/libffmpegsamo.so -> /opt/google/chrome/libffmpegsamo.so, and I think it needs to be in/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/, I didn't make/usr/lib/cromo/and it didn't exist sooooooo..Not sure if the 32bit version of libpdf.so from the original script worked, or if Chromium has native PDF support now...I think it does..Chrome Dev doesn't have the .so and I was able to use PDFs...didn't try before the 32 bit .so was in my 64 bit install, but they work now so I don't know.
Now to fix my audio card!
