"Missing Plug-in" Fix

A simple extension to fix error "missing plugin" when browsing flash content for Google Chrome.
What is "Missing Plug-in" Fix?
'Missing Plug-in' Fix is a Chrome extension developed to resolve the 'missing plugin' error that Google Chrome users may face while viewing flash content. It works by injecting jQuery to add the necessary attributes to the <embed> tag, enabling Chrome to display the content. However, it does not rectify errors unrelated to the lack of 'type' attribute in the <embed> tag.

As of version 1, this extension only fix "Missing Plug-in" error on Zing MP3 website. For version 2, the extension can fix this error on any website containing flash content within <embed> tag.

PLEASE READ: Google Chrome has (had) a bug in which it does not render flash content when the <embed> tag doesn't contain attribute type="application/x-shockwave-flash". This extension will use jQuery to add the needed attribute and reload the content, thus Chrome can display it.

It can not fix other errors not related to the lack of attribute "type" in <embed> tag (like shockwave keeps crashing, etc...).

Please show any specific links where you think this extension should works but it doesn't in the comments. A generic comments like "This extension doesn't work" can not help me to find out how to resolve your situation. Thanks in advance.

    What I can't understand is why wont you fix the browser. There are so many videos I can't see at all. Yet if I open FireFox or Safari, there is no problem. I wanna work with you guys but this is petty. Get it fixed please
