toledo-dl is a Python script for downloading Kaltura videos from Toledo

It downloads all videos from one or more Toledo pages

• Install youtube-dl: https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl#installation

1. Create an input file, for example input.txt and paste the Toledo urls you want to download from, one url per line. The script will download all the videos from a certain url, so paste the url of the overview page. You can reuse this file multiple times.

Do every time:

2. Sign in on Toledo with your student account.
3. Open the Web Developer Tools panel with ctrl+shift+i or f12
4. Extract the cookie header value from the first request on a toledo course page in your network tab, put the value into cookies.txt. Make sure you're searching under the Request Headers.
5. Run the toledo-dl script as follows:

python3 toledo-dl.py [INPUT_FILE]
or
python3 toledo-dl.py [INPUT_FILE] [Integer]

The script will create a new directory per url. This directory will contain the downloaded videos. If you re-run the script, it won't download or speed up the videos again, given that you don't change the name of the files/directories. This means you can re-run this script periodically and only process the new videos on the Toledo page. Do keep in mind you have to download your cookies again every time, because they expire quickly.

See example.txt for an example of the url file.

python3 toledo-dl.py example.txt

Adding the argument Integer will only download the last n videos from all the videos found from all urls.

python3 toledo-dl.py example.txt 5

Will then download only the last 5 videos found from all urls.

Additionally adding the "top" argument before the amount of videos to download will download only the first n videos found from all urls.

python3 toledo-dl.py example.txt "top" 3

This will download the first 3 videos from all urls found.

Pull requests are welcome.

This script was made to download Toledo videos for personal use only. Don't redistribute the downloaded videos, as they're still the intellectual property of the lecturer/university.
