Imagine that you would like to save the videos on a YouTube playlist into a CD.
This tmpmedia_rec.sh script might help you.
You can use it with any flash player that’s create temporary files like /tmp/Flash*
Run the script while playing your media. Few seconds after each fully-loaded song/video you will listen a beep indicating that the file has been saved, in that moment you can “jump” to next media.
As an example, for a YouTube playlist called “funny” you can run the script like:
$ tmpmedia_rec.sh funny flv
and the files will be saved in the destination directory as: funny_<number>.flv
You can configure the script parameters at first lines of it.
