umich-lecture-downloader
Chrome extension made to easily download CAEN lectures
How it works
- Every video on the CAEN lecture viewer is hosted as a public resource on AWS S3, and the .mp4 link is embedded in the DOM
- This extension searches the DOM for the S3 URL, and calls the Chrome Downloads API to download the resource via the browser (see popup.js)
- Most of the code was repurposed from the example in the Chrome Extension documentation
