Adobe's flash player caches video streams in memory (and in the
past: on disk), so you can play them directly from that cache:
# see http://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/dky73/
lsof -p $(pgrep -f libflashplayer) | grep /tmp/Flash |
awk '{print "/proc/" $2 "/fd/" $4}' | sed 's/[rwu]$//' |
xargs mplayer -fs
That's only the case for HTTP streams. RTMP streams are never
written to disk. And there are quite a lot of cases where it
automatically unlinks the files, in any case. Even then, you
still need to let the non-fullscreen player buffer the things,
which kind of defeats the point.
