This project is very WIP and some things might not work correctly. If you encounter any problems, issue a bug report or create a pull request.

Keats Downloader

This is a project intended to automatically download all videos in a course and store them locally. Benefits include:

  • Being able to playback videos at non-turtle speed (more than 2x)
  • Being able to use subtitles as a semi-accurate transcript
  • Being able to watch high-resolution video streams with no buffering
  • Not having your lectures interrupted because the website is down

Requirements

  1. To install the python modules used by the project run the following in the directory.

    pip3 install -r requirements.txt

  2. Download the chrome selenium driver here. Extract and place it in the main directory such that the directory looks like this

    ./selenium/chromedriver.exe
./selenium/chromedriver/

  3. Download FFMpeg here. Copy the contents of the bin folder so that there are 3 files in the main directory.

    ./ffmpeg.exe
./ffplay.exe
./ffprobe.exe

Basic usage

  1. Create a courses.txt file with the urls to all courses you want to download separated by newlines. Its contents should look something like this: 
    https://keats.kcl.ac.uk/course/view.php?id=AAAAA
https://keats.kcl.ac.uk/course/view.php?id=BBBBB
https://keats.kcl.ac.uk/course/view.php?id=CCCCC
https://keats.kcl.ac.uk/course/view.php?id=DDDDD
  2. Run main.py through terminal: 
    python main.py

You still need to have logged in to your account to use this.
