MIT Video Downloader

The script.py file once triggered automatically starts downloading the videos from the course page which contains those lecture videos. The code supports reusability. Just import the Downloader object in your script from the mitocwdl.py file.

Requirement

Any system with python 3 (preferably 3.6) and terminal.

Usage

If you have to just download videos or basically use the script to download videos:

• Navigate to the file directory where the downloaded file (the script file) is stored using the cd command in terminal or cmd.
• Trigger python script.py or python3 script.py according to the operating system needs.
• Enter the url of the Video Lecture Course that you want to download.

If you want to use the Downloader object in other scripts:

• Copy paste the mitocwdl.py file wherever you are gonna write your script
• In your script, use from mitocwdl import Downloader to import the Downloader object
• Call the Downloader.verify() method to start downloading lecture videos

Known Issue

None as of now. Currently, I'm trying to add a Resume Downloads Feature. Feel free to open an issue if any!
