  • not there! :O o.O it worked before...

  • @testingte Chromium/Google Chrome sometimes stores the videos in $HOME/.cache/chromium/Media Cache or $HOME/.cache/chromium/Cache (in Google chrome replace chromium with chrome). You will need to sort by date and play around with it. Although I normally use chromium I use Firefox when copying YouTube videos.

    PS. I hear that some newer versions of flash chop the video into multiple small files thus preventing you from using this trick.

  • Ubuntu is not linux , fuck can't you say ubuntu linux and stop wating my time

  • @ghostmarine1000 Ubuntu IS a disto of Linux, and the steps are the same in all Linux distributions (which is why I called it "Download" youtube video's in Linux and not "Download" youtube video's in Ubuntu). The pictures apply to gnome, but ALL Linux distros that use this version of flash store youtube videos in the /tmp folder. I have been using Linux (mandrake, suse, fedora, ubuntu) for over 9 years. You should think before you post! THERE IS NO RECENT SINGLE LINUX, THEY ARE ALL DISTROS.

  • :O!!! i not found!! help me!

  • this used to work, but doesn't seem to any more, I no longer see any files in /tmp when on YouTube. very frustrating. Can't find any of the right files in FF cache either (all too small).

  • After some time, Firefox and Chrome fucks up, when trying to show youtube flash content. Try doing this in Opera. It should work.

  • sir i havent show the video in the temp file not make flash plz help me

  • @xavierjjj yea thats like how you had to do it in chrome (for some reason they went back to /tmp in whatever version of chromium-browser i use now [which might be because i use the open source version])

  • now you got to use nautilus to show hidden files and go to Mozilla FireFox temporary files and now you drag

  • doesn't work anymore ever since I updated........

  • @modmadmike2 That would explain a bunch! (darn flash ppl)
