Whenever I click on any video on YouTube
I get this on a message box.
[Javascript application]
on top of message box and
Error: BVDCORE.videoFormats is undefined
Videos run well after the box is closed.

| If you really use that extension, you might need to report the bug to the extension developer and provide that error message |

| Speaking of easy downloading: until recently (months?) flash video's were stored in /tmp/. This doesn't seem to be the case anymore, does anyone know what happened? |

Security through obscurity. The flashplugin deletes the file now immediately after it was created - this removes the "pointer" in /tmp but the video is still there as long as the flashplugin keeps the file open.
See e.g. https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=912411 for more or less good examples to get hold of these "hidden" files… |

Right, the thread contains some info about what happens (file gets unlinked immediately). It's unbelievable what hoops I have to jump through to just copy a downloaded video. Security? Perhaps, wouldn't be surprised if the content industry had a say in it. Downloading should be illegal, right? That kind of thinking.
Thanks for the link. The explanation answers my question, one of the scripts provides a copy-paste solution. |
