So now I have to reboot so I can get rid of this "fine piece of software" ... please XP users BEWARE!! this videocacheflow thing may freeze your machine. still can't save the chrome flv file either ... it would be nice if there was info related to XP out there somewhere, (ie;) where does Chrome store its temp files in XP ... just three paths...

So now I have to reboot so I can get rid of this “fine piece of software” … please XP users BEWARE!! this videocacheflow thing may freeze your machine.

still can’t save the chrome flv file either … it would be nice if there was info related to XP out there somewhere, (ie;) where does Chrome store its temp files in XP … just three paths…

The reason why they use the Temp directory is because HTTP-FLV videos can be anywhere from 1kb up to 2 GB. Try loading 2 GB of HTTP content into memory... It has to dump it somewhere while the Flash control renders the video. Flash creates the Temp file as so [pseudo]: szTempDirectory = GetTempPath(); szTempFile = GetTempFileName(szTempDirectory,"fla"); hFile = CreateFile(szTempFile,NO_SHARING,FILE_FLAG_DELETE_ON_CLOSE); // read/write to file CloseHandle(hFile); // file is deleted automatically Flash has been doing it this way since day one. It's how most software will do temporary files. If you don't want your users to experience this type of disk-usage, use RTMP. Hi again…

Flash creates the Temp file as so [pseudo]:

szTempDirectory = GetTempPath();
szTempFile = GetTempFileName(szTempDirectory,”fla”);
hFile = CreateFile(szTempFile,NO_SHARING,FILE_FLAG_DELETE_ON_CLOSE);

// read/write to file

CloseHandle(hFile);
// file is deleted automatically

Flash has been doing it this way since day one. It’s how most software will do temporary files. If you don’t want your users to experience this type of disk-usage, use RTMP.
