Calf with all of its new features and processors isn't officially released by now so you have to grab the GIT-repository from sourceforge.net until we are ready for a stable release.

Copy/Rip Flash videos under Linux to watch them in local players

Montag, den 23. April 2012

With Flash 9 it was done in a blink – look in your /tmp and copy the appropriate file to have it as a local video for watching in a more suitable player like VLC. Since Flash 10 it isn’t possible anymore so I decided to write a script which copies the data from memory to your hard drive. This script needs Zenity (default in Gnome) and is written in Python.

It doens’t work on Youtube since they stream their Flash content but is usable on a lot of other file and video hosters like Dailymotion, Vimeo, Sockshare, Streamload, Putlocker and many others.

Installation:

wget http://mein-neues-blog.de/files/ripflash
chmod a+x ripflash
sudo mv ripflash /usr/local/bin

If you like you may want to create a starter in your menu.

Usage:

Open the video in your browser and wait until it was loaded completely.

 ripflash [path]

It lists all video file descriptors opened by your flash plugin and lets you select which of them should be copied. They have some cryptic ID’s which isn’t that comfortable but for this quick’n'dirty solution it seems good enough.

If path is omitted it will ask you where to save the file to. It is named automatically after the given ID so the dialog and the command line option wants to know a folder to save to.

ripflash /home/user/Desktop

or

user@machine~$: ripflash Desktop

…will copy the files to your Desktop without asking for a path.
