Greetings all!
What I want to do:
- Download a certain series of YouTube videos and store them locally in a suitable format (MP3?) such that each can be viewed from the local file.
YouGrabber has worked in the past but doesn't work for all content.
What I've found lately is that when I play *any* YouTube video, a file appears as /tmp/Flash????? that can be played directly by MPlayer. All you have to do is to cp the file... Very strange - not noticed that before and I'm not running anything special in Firefox except FlashBlocker.
Good luck, Srdjan
Thanks, that's a useful start. The Flash?????? file stays in /tmp after the video has finished playing on YouTube, though it is deleted when you start the next YouTube video so must be saved before moving on.
However, while I can see the video graphics fine when I play the resulting file using 'totem', I get no sound. Does that mean that there is a separate file for the audio tracks? Or is it a quirk of 'totem'?
(I don't have mplayer installed).
Thanks again, Ted.
