I don't know if what I managed to do was the best approach, but I used youtube-dl and downloaded that url and that saved a very large .flv file. I tried using mplayer to play it and while the file played, I kept getting screen updates of a progress bar nature until I put vc=null and vo=null in my .mplayer/config file. I am reading to find out to turn off mplayer's other complaints about lirc and maybe some other things so as to get the sound playing quickly mostly of the videos and not mplayer status messages. The video was quite informative too. I don't think it would be possible to have all of this streamed and run through .mailcap when a link were opened using the lynx browser at least not now. That may eventually be possible and may be worth the time and effort to play with it and find out.
