fc20. using vlc, or wget or smplayer, how do I download a stream which the FF plugin downloadhelper says is made of many files, each one of which has the extension .f4f
When I download the .f4f files, they are not playable by any media player.
.f4f is a broken or incomplete .flv file and that would be why it is not playable. Peter
Alright, so how do I download the stream? I see on the web some ideas, among them livestreamer, a package which is not provided by fedora nor by rpmfusion.
Try youtube-dl, a command line tool available from Fedora, and easy to use, e.g.: youtube-dl https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tIdIqbv7SPo
Should also work with flash videos.
I did try it before I posted my question. It quits and says report this problem to yt-dl ....etc
Nevertheless, in general yt-dl is worth a try, even if it might not help with your special video stream. It gets updated very frequently.
