OpenCast Downloader for RWTHmoodle

OpenCast Downloader for RWTHmoodle

This is a short piece of code for downloading videos from RWTHmoodle. Please execute it in Python3.

After not using this piece of software for several months I realized it was pretty messy. So I rewrote it.

Parameters

The script takes the following parameters:

• guid can be found in the url and looks like xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx where the xs are random letters and numbers.
• name is the file/folder name (please enter without endings).
• quality The program lists some qualities it found. For example max is always the maximum quality thats possible.
• vlc The program asks if you want to convert the downloaded file(s) with VLC Media Player.
• vlcpath If you answered Y (yes) to the question above please specify the path of your VLC Media Player installation.
• deleterawfiles does exactly what it says.

You can also call the script with command line parameters for the listed values. They have to be in the exact order of the list.
