(SOLVED) cache files from chromium

siamer · 2012-07-24 18:22:55

Hi.
When I'm watching some move online than chromium is downloding that file to temporary directory... If I would like to copy that file after movie is loaded when I can find it ?

~/.cache/chromium/Default/Cache if I'm not mistaken.

thanks Gcool for suggestion but not.
I checked already all pleaces (was looking on forum already and no is not there). I checked:
/dev/shm/*
/home/USER/.cache/chromium/Default/Cache
/tmp/
/var/tmp/

when I'm loading movie in browser was checking free space on home directory and all the time is the same. So propobly movie is not downloading to home directory but don't understand why....

version of chromium: 20.0.1132.57-1
version of flash: 11.1.102.63-1

I have problems with newer versions of flash why that using thins one...

Any more ideas ?

Thanks!

~/.cache/chromium/Default/Cache is correct. Remember that the files will have no extension type so you do have to check them:

The SMPlayer appears black but trust me that it is the correct video.

The file is shaved in /tmp but it is immediately deleted. So i here you ask but how can chromium still play the video if it is deleted? Well chromium still holds an open file descriptor for the file, that means that it isn't yet completely gone. So how can i get that file? First you need to find the file descriptor. Say that it is a flash video you would do something like

lsof | grep FlashX
chromium  28221 28236 dimitris   24u      REG               0,33 13587301 1031042 /tmp/FlashXXPCob9x (deleted)

what we need is chromiums pid. Next move is to find the file descriptor

ls -l /proc/28221/fd 
....
lrwx------ 1 dimitris users 64 Jul 25 16:31 24 -> /tmp/FlashXXPCob9x (deleted)
....

Then use ffmpeg to get the audio out.

 ffmpeg -vn -i /proc/5035/fd/24 o.ogg

prasinoulhs when watching flash movie on you tube

[siamer@bridgelinux ~]$ lsof | grep FlashX
[siamer@bridgelinux ~]$

there is not files at all... ?

anonymous_user if ~/.cache/chromium/Default/Cache is correct then why when turning on PC checking size of that directory and is 285,2 mb and after fully loaded few movies on youtube size is still 285,2 mb ?

I'm not using the newest version of flash so maybe that is the problem ?

Thanks!

That's strange. Are you sure it's a Flash video and not an html5? You could grep for chromium the output of lsof and find it there, or you could go to view background pages from chromium' s menu and find the pid for the flash player plug-in from the list there.

I solved problem in different way. Installing "FVD Video Downloader" chromium extension solved the problem. Now I can download movies by clicking one button so I'm happy enough!

Thanks for all help!

thats awesome prasinoulhs, but where did you get the /5035 and /24 in the path?
so what path would i use to extract it? i was going to do something like

ffmpeg -i /proc/5035/fd/37 flash_converted.avi

for example
