Only one camera view is downloaded when multiple camera views are available

nitrogenase opened this issue · comments

In the case where multiple cameras are available, only one of the camera view is downloaded.

Is it possible to introduce an if-statement which checks for multiple cameras views and allows to chose which one should be downloaded? This would particularly useful for lectures that use multiple camera views to capture a blackboard.

Thanks!

Unfortunately I don't think there is any (easy) way of downloading multiple camera feeds at the moment. The extension relies on the Panopto 'podcast' mode to download videos and unfortunately the 'podcast' mode only downloads the main video, or in the case of when there are two videos it embeds the smaller video inside the larger video. Choosing which camera feed to use would require another method of downloading the video which unfortunately is not on my radar at the moment.

If anyone knows of a method to download the video of a particular camera feed then I'd be more than happy to include it into the extension. Otherwise I think I'm going to have to leave this for now.
