I'm using the latest builds of chromium and flash. I like to watch my youtube videos in totem since youtube fullscreen doesn't work real well with my dual monitor set up.
I used to be able to go to /tmp and open the flash video there but the newest flash release no longer saves to /tmp.
Anyone have any idea where I can find the flash video? I looked in ~/.cache/chromium/Cache and Media Cache but they weren't there.
Any ideas?
Thanks

They are deleted once streaming is complete. You can download flash videos using xvst.

They're deleted even if the tab is left open? That doesn't seem like.... something that is possible.
xvst does look useful though, thanks.

Yes. It's possible.
EDIT:
You can try to undelete the file but I don't know if it will work. Instruction - http://finalcog.com/undelete-open-file-from-inode

But, how can the file be deleted when you're still able to play it in the browser? And it still takes up space on the hard drive...
Either way, xvst works quite well, thanks!

Linux magic I ran test in firefox on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M4y6xOkNjnM&ob=av2n and the file wasn't deleted. Hmm....

This is completely wrong. They are left in /tmp until you leave that tab. It's like that with all browsers I've tried (Chromium, Conkeror, Firefox, Opera, webkit browsers...)

I remember that just month (or less) ago files were deleted.

Haha, so after you end watching the video and click on "Replay" you need to recache it? Noes.
You probably saw something wrong.

I know this used to be the case, but now I can't find the flash videos in any directory. Right now I have a youtube video playing in a tab, but there is nothing in the /tmp folder, or in ~/.cache.

Same here... There is nothing in /tmp or ~/.mozilla/firefox/<...>.default/Cache any more, so I just assumed that it must be some kind of new "copyright protection" thing.
Edit: I'm using flashplugin-prerelease (x86_64) from AUR, b.t.w.

Are you sure? Because i find all my flash videos on ~/.cache/chromium/Cache/
Order your files by date if you can't find it

I cannot find the damn temp files anymore. Im using Firefox 4 with flashplugin-prerelease 10.2 from AUR.
Offline
With flash 10.1 videos are stored in /tmp
With flash 10.2 prerelease files are stored in cache folder of browser. And yes, they are deleted once streaming is completed. I guess video is loaded at RAM.
Excuse my poor English.

How do you download flash movies now then? Youtube etc is simple, but Facebook and sites like that?
Offline
Solved it! The files can be found in the folder:
/dev/shm/firefox-cache/Cache

Which version of flash do you use? Because I do not have this directory

Well I have the same version as you for flash. I tried with firefox-nightly and firefox 3.6. And I still can't save those flash vids.

Try going to about:config and toggling the browser.cache.memory.enable setting to false. The flash file should then be found in /tmp.

No it does not work. The only way I found was to use lsof to find the file required.
lsof | grep deleted
Then I could use the pid from lsof and the number as explained in the link to mplayer the file.

Lymphotik: lsof is installed.

Perhaps it is only i686?

#1 Check flash process pid
ps x | awk '/libflashplayer.so\ /{print $1}'
#2 Go to
/proc/$(pid of flash process)/fd/
#3 Do a directory listing and search for files marked as deleted
'ls -l'
The file should be a number linking to something like /tmp/Flash* (deleted)
So cache is actually done on /tmp/, but flash marks the file as deleted, so only the flash process knows it exists

What number is to be utilized for connecting to the deleted file?

Eh... doesn't this mean that it could get overwritten anytime by another process?
edit: Can you disable that it gets marked as deleted?
