Just open /proc/pid/fd/number > with vlc for example Thank you! Those instructions are very good. I'm copying them to the bug report so that the bug report contains clear information. When I did this (on a laptop with 2GB of memory and 2.5GB of swap and a 405MB tmpfs /tmp), the movie exhausted all space in /tmp. It then kept playing without any trouble, and the system never started swapping or had any other performance issues. However, /tmp was completely full, and creating any other files in /tmp resulted in errors (which I know can cause all sorts of problems for other programs that assume they can always create small files in /tmp). I didn't continue to play the movie through to the end, so I don't know if the movie playback would encounter problems at the point at which the buffered movie exhausted /tmp or if the Flash player would have coped by windowing the streaming. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
