I use this shell function to play it with mplayer:
function play_flash() {
for idx in $(pgrep -u $USER -f 'flashplayer'; pgrep -u $USER midori); do
echo "Browser:" $(egrep 'Name:' /proc/${idx}/status| cut -f 2) "PID:"
$idx
echo -n " FDs:"
for fd in $(lsof -p $idx -F fn|egrep --text -B1 '/tmp/Flash'| egrep
'^f'); do
echo -n " ${fd:1}"
done
echo
echo
done
echo "Select browser (by PID) and file descriptor (space separated)"
read -p ': ' PID FD
echo
if [[ ! -z ${PID} ]]; then
inhibit-xscreensaver &> /dev/null &
declare sspid=$!
mplayer -ontop "$@" /proc/${PID}/fd/${FD}
kill $sspid && wait
fi
unset idx fd
}
This works for Firefox, Google Chrome and Midori. The OP can adapt it
to copy instead of play.
