How to sniff streaming FLV actual URL address?
I like to watch streaming media and listening to streaming radio. I want to consolidate my list of stations into a player that supports flash files, such as VLC. I can use Orbit Downloader Grab ++ to download the actual .flv files, but I do not want to save the stream, just find out the referrer URL to view on VLC, any ideas?

That won't work a lot of times because the streaming server demands to authenticate with a proprietary browser plugin (Real Media, the BBC and others). The server won't just hand you the file, it will only stream.
The streaming server may also be set to only authenticate from the url you visited to watch the movie. It won't respond to a request for that file from anywhere else.
Orbit works well enough.
