Phase-Implementation
Updated Nov 9, 2011 by mjbauer95

Play a video (may prompt for filename still, override with -y):

get_flash_videos -p http://some.site/video

Download a video (note quotes are required for URLs with special characters like '&' in):

get_flash_videos "http://some.site/video?f=1&v=1234"

Play the URL on the clipboard (UNIX):

xclip -o | xargs get_flash_videos -y -p

Play the URL on the clipboard (OSX):

pbpaste | xargs get_flash_videos -y -p

(Note if there is text on the clipboard rather than a URL above then get_flash_videos will search for it).

Play the first video matching "Open Source":

get_flash_videos -y -p Open Source

Install a plugin:

get_flash_videos --add-plugin http://website.com/PluginName.pm

Download all videos from file containing a list of URLs separated by new lines:

cat urls | while read line; do get_flash_videos "$line"; done

What about adding the rtmpdump plugin?

Comment by project member zakflash...@gmail.com, Feb 8, 2011

As my comment on the installation page hopefully explains, there is no separate rtmpdump plugin. Site or player-specific modules within get_flash_videos specify that videos should be downloaded with rtmpdump if necessary. get_flash_videos then runs rtmpdump with the appropriate options for you.

Please either use the mailing list or issues for any other problems. We don't get notified about wiki page comments.

How download all URLs from txt file?

Comment by Isui.Ate...@gmail.com, Nov 1, 2011

where is the video saved?

Comment by project member mjbauer95, Nov 9, 2011

Try this: cat urls | while read line; do get_flash_videos "$line"; done

Comment by battlest...@gmail.com, Dec 5, 2011

After issuing the request: 'cat urls | while read line; do get_flash_videos "$line"; done', and the process completes, the names of files downloaded do not reflect the content of the media. Meaning that the file names appear to follow a "DATE & TIME" naming scheme convention of: 'video{YYYYMMDDTTSS}.mp4'. How can the download request be modified to query the meta-data from each URL (specifically: "the title of video requested"), and apply it to file names?

Can someone explain the usage for the search plugin, so that more than 10 results can be listed? I can't find any documentation.

Can I download a sequence of videos and then join them together into the one file?
