video.cs.fau.de-downloader

A simple download script for video.cs.fau.de that allows you to download every video on a particular page

Dependencies

The following programms need to be installed:

  • gawk
  • wget

Usage

Move into the target directory and call the script from there.

/path/to/getvideos.sh <base-url> [<username> <password>]

<base-url> is the website at the video.cs.fau.de with links to the videos (e.g https://video.cs.fau.de/by-lecture/KommPar/2015s/1080p/)

<username> and <password> are used for HTTP-Authentication

General Programm Behavior

  • The script will download the videos into your current working directory
  • Present videos will not be clobbered. Present videos will not be downloaded again, so the user can continue downloading over the course of the semester.
  • Partial Downloads will not overwritten. The user needs to remove them manually to properly download.
  • using kill -9 on this script will result in an unclean state. Please remove index.html and partially downloaded videos in the working directory to continue cleanly.
