how to play flash videos in a browser using mplayer or vlc

Give the excessive use of CPU while playing flash videos, I am interested in using mplayer or vlc instead. I tried the greasemonkey script with this userscript in Firefox and Chrome, but it kept saying the scripts are pretty old and needs updating.

Also, I tried a workaround from webupda8.org but did not work either.

Anyone has a better / updated script or solution? Thanks.

If you just want to abandon flash you might be interested in

yt-download

which you can use to download videos from youtube (and some other sites) and watch them using any player you choose.

There was an add-on for Firefox some while ago wich automaticly replaced the flash-video by a native player and add some controlls but it was abandoned. It might still work but that is not for sure
