Alright, I just found it. On my system the placeholders are here:
Tools -> Advanced -> Plug-ins

Thanks again,

Trying it out on www.spiegel.de.

But I cannot find the "individual placeholder". Where is it ?

Actually Opera already has a setting: "Enable plug-ins only on
demand" (under preferences->advanced->content). It disables all
plugins by default and you can click on an individual placeholder to
enable a plug-in for a specific object, so you can watch a flash
movie or turn on a flash navigation menu without having to turn-on any
flash adverts on the same page.

Great idea. Thank you. The difference is really tremendous. I've added
though a tiny script to switch flash off and on with nspluginwrapper.
Could be useful on some occasion.

to work for a lot of other sites. I just tested it for Dailymotion.

Thanks also for the get-flash-videos link which I am glad to study
in detail, including the git port I've now installed.

FreeBSD is a wonderful OS!


absolutely agree but to be clear, both youtube-dl and get-flash-videos 
have nothing to do with FreeBSD. They runs under it just as under any unix 
and possibly other OSes


I would recommend you to remove flash at all. It actually improves web 
browsing experience, removing problems with constant CPU load because you 
have few tabs with flash crap running, and will teach you good habit of 
actually OWN all  interesting things ON YOUR DISK, not "on the internet"

that happens to disappear in a short time.

The same for webpage - don't "bookmark" nice articles but save to disk.

I agree. Firefox gets vulnerable every now and then.
And it takes many many hours to upgrade it on my old
« Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.60GHz » system.

For now I am happy with w3m and,
if text browsing is unsufficient, with opera.

Thank you very much indeed.
youtube-dl works fine and is probably all I need because it seems
to work for a lot of other sites. I just tested it for Dailymotion.

Thanks also for the get-flash-videos link which I am glad to study
in detail, including the git port I've now installed.

Yes, it's in ~/.opera, for example:
me@pollux:~ % file .opera/cache/g_002C/opr004FM.tmp
.opera/cache/g_002C/opr004FM.tmp: Macromedia Flash Video

Really happy,

For YouTube, check out the port "youtube-dl". For most of everything
else,  see http://github.com/monsieurvideo/get-flash-videos for
details.



xpi-unplug firefox plugin is useful too.

Oh, there _is_, even though it's not integrated in Opera. :-)

For YouTube, check out the port "youtube-dl". For most of everything
else,  see http://github.com/monsieurvideo/get-flash-videos for

> HOWTO find the video buffer location if it is not /tmp ?

I would assume there's some temporary storage either in ~/.opera
or ~/.macromedia (for the "Flash" plugin).

video buffer location

2012-06-29 Thread Harald Weis
In contrast to firefox,
there is no decent video download helper for opera.

HOWTO find the video buffer location if it is not /tmp ?
