Downloading videos from Impartus Platform

[shaksham95]

Hey @iamkroot ,

I was wondering if it's possible to download videos from Impartus directly.

I tried doing this, but it failed since it assumes that the URL is of the format "172.16.3.20/....." which is applicable for on-campus students. Is it possible to download the videos from off-campus? It would be a big help if you can provide some pointers

Thanks Shaksham

It works already. Example: http://a.impartus.com/...

It isn't working for me. I am trying to download a video from Impartus and it's giving the following error:

I have downloaded the exe file for windows which is published under the "Releases". The URL that I am trying to retrieve is http://a.impartus.com/ilc/#/video/id/1840519

I would really appreciate it if you can provide an example of how can I download the video.

Thanks

You're supposed to specify the link to the course, not to a specific video.

Eg: http://a.impartus.com/ilc/#/course/75233/691

Hey,

So after passing the URL (as you mentioned) to the scrapper, I am getting the following error:-

Update.

[shaksham95]

Hey @iamkroot ,

I have tried using the updated scrapper (version 0.6.2 and 0.6.1) but the error is still the same as shown in the screenshot above. Anything that I might be missing?

[iamkroot]

course url?

[shaksham95]

Course URL: https://a.impartus.com/ilc/#/course/160200/706

[iamkroot]

Are you sure you have the right url? I don't see anything when I open that link, just a blank page.

Must be cuz you're from Pilani. Well, I can't find the reason for the bug since I don't have access to the data.

Is the software dependent on the BITS campus? It considers the course URL, then ideally it should download the content.

It looks like the code is not be able to access the course page; that's why no videos are coming in the list resulting in NoneType error.

So after passing the URL (as you mentioned) to the scrapper, I am getting the following error:-

I have the same issue... What needs to be done to rectify?

[shaksham95]

@sundrb There is no workaround for this issue.
