Hi,
sorry that I write a bit OffTopic, but it may help others, too.
I want to download only the courses that are of interest for me (Audio/Video and Photoshop) though this is still a long list. Any way to do it automatically? My first try was a Windows Powershell script that looks like this:
Unfortunately this dumb bruteforce-method will give you errors for every video-id that does not exist in the Desktop-App, and this is annoying because it steals window-focus AND you have to click ok to close the window. I'm not even sure if this will give the account a red flag on the long distance. Haven't got any mails from them, yet.
A better attempt would be to get a script that will parse a given website-URL, like:
On each course-site there is a Download-button that goes to https://www.video2brain.com/de/product-downloads-4720.htm#download_overlay so if the script can copy the video-id out of this link, the 4digit number between product-downloads- and .htm#download_overlay the script finally cann add this number into the video2brain-download link that will trigger the Desktop app:
video2brain://course/video-id/download?lang=de or for the above example it would be
video2brain://course/4720/download?lang=de
That would be my approach, sadly I have no clue about Python or even how to get this done in a Powershell script. The second approach also would it make possible to just download selected topics automatically, even their theme-playlists would work because those directly link to the course-page.

for ($var = 1 ; $var -le 500 ; $var++) { write-host "video2brain://course/00$($var.tostring("00"))/download?lang=de" ; start "video2brain://course/0$($var.tostring("00"))/download?lang=de" ; Start-Sleep -s 2 }Unfortunately this dumb bruteforce-method will give you errors for every video-id that does not exist in the Desktop-App, and this is annoying because it steals window-focus AND you have to click ok to close the window.

https://www.video2brain.com/de/photoshop
Oh that site the script should follow every URL that begins with https://www.video2brain.com/de/videotraining/ (eg. https://www.video2brain.com/de/videotraining/nachtfotografie-grundlagen)
On each course-site there is a Download-button that goes to https://www.video2brain.com/de/product-downloads-4720.htm#download_overlay so if the script can copy the video-id out of this link, the 4digit number between product-downloads- and .htm#download_overlay the script finally cann add this number into the video2brain-download link that will trigger the Desktop app:

Any smarter ideas? :)
