Of course, Mozilla's way of placing it's cache directly into user profiles (instead of separate dirs under $TEMP) is the wrong approach, but that's another story. BTW: if you wanna catch videos and other media you came along while surfing, just use a proper proxy (eg. wwwoffle) for that. cu -- -- Enrico Weigelt, metux IT service -- http://www.metux.de/ phone: +49 36207 519931 email: weig...@metux.de mobile: +49 151 27565287 icq: 210169427 skype: nekrad666 -- Embedded-Linux / Portierung / Opensource-QM / Verteilte Systeme --

Hi, this Flash 10.2-pre is in portage since 2 days ago. You'll just have to unmask it. :) www-plugins/adobe-flash-10.2.161.22_pre20100915

Thanks for the link and install instructions. After creating directory /opt/Adobe/flash-player/ and extracting the tarball, I needed to create a symlink for /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so, and then restart firefox. David

So now the filename and path are different, but you can probably still find it like that faster (at least as long as the flv is open by the plugin :) Bye, Daniel -- PGP key @ http://pgpkeys.pca.dfn.de/pks/lookup?search=0xBB9D4887&op=get # gpg --recv-keys --keyserver hkp://subkeys.pgp.net 0xBB9D4887 signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
[gentoo-user] Native 32 and 64-bit linux Flash 10 Preview Release available
This is of interest to those of us running old versions of Flash, especially on 64-bit installs without 32-bit support (looks in mirror). Download site is http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html To find out where to install, go to "about:plugins" in Firefox, and see where your current version of libflashplayer.so is installed. In my case it's /opt/Adobe/flash-player/libflashplayer.so To install... * for 64-bit version download the file http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/flashplayer10/flashplayer_square_p1_64bit_linux_091510.tar.gz * for 32-bit version download the file http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/flashplayer10/flashplayer_square_p1_32bit_linux_091510.tar.gz * exit Firefox * mv your current copy of libflashplayer.so to another directory as a backup, in case the new one doesn't work for you * extract libflashplayer.so from the downloaded tar.gz into the directory which you removed libflashplayer.so from. * fire up Firefox, and away you go * note that when the release version comes out, you'll need to manually remove the Preview Release libflashplayer.so Good news = It works for me, so far. I've tried live365.com, both via my paid account and via the free (with commercials) option. It works. So does Youtube. Bad news It's more painfull building up a collection of flv videos. The old version used to copy Youtube videos/songs/whatever into /tmp with a filename beginning with "Flash". It would get wiped each time you played a new video/whatever. But you could always move it out to another place before playing the next video. Rename the file to .flv and mplayer plays it beautifully. Nice way to build up a collection. The new version dumps it in the "Cache" directory of whatever Firefox profile I'm using. You have to cd to the "Cache" subdirectory, and execute... file * | grep Macro and you'll get a list of all "Macromedia Flash" files in the directory. One of them is the most recent Flash file you played on Youtube. You have to do some digging. Again, copy it to another file elsewhere to keep a copy. -- Walter Dnes
