lsflash

I was really annoyed when I discovered that the new versions of the non-free Flash plugin for mozilla in Debian was not able to download its flash videos in /tmp/FlashXX as it used in the past. According to this post it was Adobe itself who actually changed things. However, it is possible to find where these temporary files are stored on the system using lsof as mentioned on the same post.

In order to make things easy, I have written a script named lsflash who can do everything for you. Download the lsflash script , make sure you've got the lsof package installed and use the lsflash binary script it as follows:

$ lsflash
$ lvc `lsflash`
$ mplayer `lsflash`

Have fun watching your Flashvideos!
