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.

This thing purports to be able to convert them to a flv file: https://github.com/K-S-V/Scripts/wiki
I've not tested it, so YMMV.

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.

Unfortunately, it does not come with any writeup as to how to use it with a browser url from which the video is being streamed.
