Hi,
Apropos of an earlier thread about Youtube videos in /tmp , it still
does work the same way as earlier. The only thing that has happened
is that the Flash player has become smarter, and probably just deletes
the .flv file after opening it, so that it is no longer visible, but
still exists.
One can locate it through:
* Find the PID of the Flash player plugin
pgrep -f libflashplayer.so
This will give one a number like 4534
* Muck through /proc for that process (the one with PID 4534):
ls -1l /proc/4534/fd/ | grep \/tmp\/Flash
should show you some file named, e.g., /tmp/FlashXXbw4rZA
and it will probably also say "(deleted)", e.g., something like
lrwx------ 1 user group 64 2011-06-24 03:03 16 ->
/tmp/FlashXXbw4rZA (deleted)
* Simply copy this file to xyz.flv, i.e.,
cp /proc/4534/fd/16 xyz.flv
Look ma, no fancy GUI apps!
Regards,
Gora
