I hope that you can help me.
I wanted to get away from Adobe Flash, and am trying GNash (mostly the plugin for FireFox).
It seems OK so far, except for one thing...
I used to be able to go to /tmp and copy the temporary files of songs that I liked to somewhere else (before leaving the YouTube page), and then use WinFF/ ffmpeg to convert to .ogg or .mp3 or...
Now, I cannot seem to find where the temporary files are downloaded.
>From a forum thread in 2006, it seems possible that there ARE no temporary files. But that is a long time ago, and who knows?
IS there a tempory file created for playing videos? If not automatic, perhaps there is a way to configure Gnash to do so?
If not, what do I do? I would prefer not to go back to Adobe, but using Sound Recorder, and trying to time the record right when pressing the Play button on YouTube just is a bit too low-tech for me - the quality is not very good, also.
Can anybody help?
