USYD changes #17

Closed dre2004 closed 4 years ago

dre2004 commented 4 years ago

Hey,

I just stumbled across this tool, really would like to get it working again for USYD. It looks like they no longer host echo360 themselves and so the URL's are different (echo360 cloud?).

https://echo360.org.au/section/be03853e-9c56-4080-8386-eb1384336508/home

From what I can see, I think this is the new URL format I've tried going to that directly but it asks me for a username/password of which my unikey doesn't work so I'm also assuming they're now using some kind of SSO.

Hi @dre2004 ,

This program currently does not supports echo360 cloud (i.e. with hostname https://echo360.org) as it has a very different page format compared to the ones hosted directly by universities.

I do have direct access to such a system; therefore, it is hard for me to look into it as you need to dig into the page source and parse the page contents. If you know a bit about programming, it would be great if you can modify the program and send in a PR. I would be happy to explain different parts of the program to you if you need help.

Yes, I can do that. I managed to find a work around with a chrome plugin that let me download the videos so I haven't really come back to it. I'll take a look at it again when I get some time and ask you questions where needed.

With PR #20 this module should now support echo360 cloud platform (echo360.org)
