Hm. That shouldn't be an effect here, since those plugins/widgets don't |

capture the stream off the network device (packet socket), where |
12 |
packets could get lost. FLV usually doesn't react good on dropouts |
13 |
either, it's not streamed via UDP for that reason, I guess. So I'm not |

quite sure if you can overcome the jumps... |

But FWIW, my method is to "start" the video (i.e. clicking on it so the |
17 |
flash player opens), then immediately pause it. When the player's "gray |
18 |
bar" filled up, the FLV is waiting for a quick "cp" on the command line |
19 |
as temporary file in /tmp (named "Flash<random string>"). Some flash |
20 |
players utilize the browser to download the FLV, then it will be in the |
21 |
browser's cache directory. Works all the time, I don't bother with |
22 |
extensions/plugins anymore... |

BTW, my preferred player for those is vlc. But it should work with any |
25 |
player linked against a reasonably recent ffmpeg. |
