How do the packages flashplayer-projector and flashplayer-standalone differ? They seem to install the same program, which Adobe calls now "Flash Player Projector". I think there should be one, the name flashplayer-projector is better (as it's consistent with upstream naming) and the PKGBUILD looks better in flashplayer-standalone.
Also, the tarbal sha256 is different, proper one is 60134f77325709bd7cac5dee22404ec78c94bdbec73b7f188f3836ead63d915f. But there's also a new version, 29.0.0.113, sha256 888cc3d18131d197daa6a70ef43fd7bdf49612875f884c7035bae03502d7bc9f.

As far as I'm aware that is only applicable to the web-browser plugin version. Standalone/Projector should still work fine. At the very least 32.0.0.453 which is the last update I pushed is still working perfectly fine here. (haven't build/updated to 465 yet so I can't say anything about that)
Since 371 is also one I pushed I can try and see if it's still in a build cache of mine but don't keep your hopes up (and regardless; it really shouldn't matter for the standalone/projector version)
EDIT: Last build cache for that version was removed 6 months ago so I no longer have it and my backups for those only go back 1 month.
EDIT2: I just see that the date for the time bomb wasn't 01-01-2021 but a tad later this month so the projector might start failing later.
EDIT3: If the standalone/projector does indeed also end up containing said time-bomb, the next best solution I can think of is to use Ruffle browser addon/extension to play your flash content using your browser.
