How to download online streaming flash video file?
Hello guys
Can you pls guide me through how to download the following file:
http://plus7.arte.tv/flash/artep7.sw...lNoCaption.swf
I tried mplayer ($mplayer-dumpstream -dumpfile blah.flv <above URL>).
I tried FlashGot and Unplug addons in my browser, Iceweasel.
I tried to track the file down in my temp file in mozilla cache.
Nothing worked! I'd appreciate a prompt reply. Thanks.
Ciao.
PS. I use debian. And prefer a solution devoid of mencoder.

When you play this file, does it buffer in /tmp ? If it does, then you can copy the entire file (once it has buffered completely)and copy it into another location. This works for video streams on youtube.

No, I tried the cache folder already. No luck! It doesn't buffer like the youtube flash videos.
I badly need this. Does anyone know how to use mencoder then (to download this file)?

looks like it's using the rtmp protocol:
rtmp://flashstreaming.plus7.arte.tv/ondemand/flash/arteprod/A7_SGT_ENC_10_040953-011-A_PG_MQ_DE.flv
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_Ti...aging_Protocol
So try using something that supports rtmp to dump the video to a file. Not sure but maybe xbmc might work.

RTMP protocol can be handled with Orbit Downloader. But, it's only available for windows.
I don't know how to handle XBMC for debian. Can someone advice me?
Any other ideas?

you could try running that program through wine:

I'm not even sure xbmc will work, but you could try downloading from svn and compiling it, they only have binaries for ubuntu.

Hi, I do this by executing the following command:
Quote:
grep -l FLV `lsof | grep firefox | grep Flash | awk '{print $9}' `
|
the output looks like this:
/tmp/FlashGBuKCp
And is the name and location of every flash file being executed by firefox at THIS time. You should do this BEFORE closing the tab that is playing the video because the file is deleted when the tab is closed.
then:
mplayer /tmp/FlashGBuKCp
would play the same video that firefox is playing in its corresponding tab.
before closing the tab you should cp /tmp/FlashGBuKCp <some dir>

If you check the news you'll see that recently Adobe$ sent a cease and desist order to a project that could dump rtmp video.
