![]() ![]() If you are using a DirectShow-based player, like the one built-in your Windows OS (Windows Media Player), the appropriate splitters and decoders have to installed for you to be able to open FLV movies. Nonetheless, if the movies are stored locally on a computer and someone tries to open them directly, certain components must be present onto that system in order to play FLVs. ![]() When it comes to Flash videos, particularly the FLV container format files, things are quite simple because most Internet browsers have dedicated plugins, that are designed to load this type of online content. If the media player software which is used for the job doesn't have its own set of codecs and filters, they should be installed separately onto a system, to ensure the smooth reproduction of the loaded media files. We appreciate any bug/problem reports, they will help us to keep the software up to date.The playback of video and audio files involves more components than it would seem at first glance. ![]() New FLV Spider 2.0.4 works with Flash Player 10.2 correctly.įLV Spider was tested with both Safari, FireFox and Chrome and works with all of them. Latest Flash Player 10.2 also has changes, which should be reflected in the FLV Spider. Vast majority of social websites do not use live streaming.Īs for problems with video capturing in version 2.0.2 and 2.0.3, those problems were caused by new versions of Flash Player, where Flash Video was cached in a different way. If you see that downloaded percentage is going ahead of the playback position, then this is not a live stream. Just take a look at the progress indicator of the web player. You can easily understand if you're watching a live stream or not. Replying to all those, who complains for inability of some videos downloading - FLV Spider works with ANY websites, like, where live streaming is not used for the video delivery. And I can tell you this: anyone who would make their software work in this manner will never see one penny of my money. That will remove the cached file that FLV spider wants you to pay to be able to remove. Then, using terminal, type "rm" and paste your whole path to the file. It will probably look something like this: Search through the output (You may want to copy the output from terminal into a text editor.) for a path starting with "/private/var/folders/" After that, you'll see what appear to be many random characters, but toward the end, you'll see "//" At the very end of the path, you'll see ".flv"ģ. Open terminal and type "lsof" (minus quotes.)Ģ. If you're in a situation where FLV spider has video files it won't let you delete, do the following.ġ. If you want the video deleted from the cache, it wants you to pay for the pro version! What if you download something that you don't want others to run across? You have to PAY THEM to delete a file from your own computer? I would call this unethical at best. FLV Spider allows you to save flash videos, but all the while it saves them in its cache. I'm giving this product a one-star review. If I had understood that FLV is limited to one machine, instead of one user, I should not have bought it. So if you plan to use FLV on two different machines (eg a station and a laptop when you travel), be ready to repetitive and sometimes cumbersome registrations). Indeed, FLV checks your machine number (hardware ID), thus making it extremely cumbersome that a same registred consumer changes the machine on which he wants to use his paid licence. A registred user cannot FLV Spider on two machines, without going through the whole licensing procedure (which includes emails more or less rapidly sent by FLV and more or less accessible by the registrated user). So failures + delayed/incomplete information about the capture rapidly become a pain i.t.a.īut there is a domain where FLV is at the top of the "progress" : its anti-pirate procedures. Unfortunately, FLV's rate of capture failure is still high (about 1/3 in my case). However, they have slowed the capture considerably, resulting in a lot of perplexity trying to guess whether the capture is working or not. Some interface improvements have been made, like showing an image of each file being downloaded. I have bought FLV Spider pro several years ago and I appreciate its free updates. ![]()
